Links #2025-22 - Glasses, puzzles, and brains

Articles and videos I found last week that I actually read or watched until the end.

• Coding Without a Laptop - Two Weeks with AR Glasses and Linux on Android - holdtherobot.com

  This post is light on details of the actual experience, but it sounds intriguing. Instead of using an ordinary laptop, take your phone, a pair of AR glasses and a keyboard and go outside. Sit on a bench in the sun and start coding. Apart from the extra healthy dose of vitamin D, I wonder whether it would make you better sit upright and improve your posture too.

• Vim vs. Kakoune puzzles - strongly-typed-thoughts.net

  Kakoune is my favourite editor, for many reasons. I might write more about that one day. But I rarely encounter other users in the wild, so this post was already a joy to find. And that was before I read it and learned a few new tricks.

• After months of coding with LLMs, I'm going back to using my brain - albertofortin.com

  The stream of posts where developers describe how they use or don't use AI is endless. It is an interesting topic, but I am almost feeling saturated. I liked this one because it mirrors my own experience. LLMs are great tools with lots of uses, but I rarely let them generate my actual code for me.

• Practical AI techniques for daily engineering work - www.seangoedecke.com

  And I included this one because it offers a few tips on how to use LLMs for development outside of the typical autocompletion and straight code generation.
