Getting into AI agents? Skip the hype.

They're powerful, but only with serious testing and supervision. Find every way it can break. Build checks to catch those breaks. Review everything.

Do that work, and you'll InshAllah have a reliable tool for a specific task. Skip it, and you'll have chaos.

Two AI agents reviewing each other's work sounds gimmicky until you try it.

I give both agents the same context and draft. Agent A works on it. Then I ask agent B to critique A's output and suggest what I should tell A.

What happens? They catch each other's mistakes. Sometimes they disagree and I have to mediate. Most of the time I just enjoy watching them work.

Most WordPress users aren't programming. They're configuring.

There's a real difference:
- Writing code vs clicking GUI
- Building systems vs combining plugins
- Asking "How do I automate?" vs "Which plugin?"

Like Excel user vs Database engineer.
Like Canva designer vs UX engineer.

Both valid. Different skillsets.

Configuration isn't programming.

Enjoy this boring post. I have this weird crush on typography. Spent days learning about fonts: theory, open-source options, creating custom ones, which to use where (web, email, code, books...).

I find it amazing how beautiful letters can look. Call me crazy.

If you want a readable font for coding, try JetBrains Mono.

These are my reflections as a human being with many flaws. Allah the Perfect knows best.

One more thing: Ayah 2:44 (right before this) discusses giving advice. Then Allah gives this advice about Sabr, demonstrating how to advise properly.

1400 years before Sabr became the most common advice among Muslims, Allah showed us exactly how to give it.

Now here's what moves me about this ayah: Muslims constantly advise each other to have Sabr. Beautiful tradition.

Yet Allah responds with such compassion. He acknowledges this path isn't equally accessible to everyone. The gentleness in that recognition.

Concrete example: We see Israel bombing newborns. Speaking against this might harm careers in the West. They call it "politics" to avoid dealing with it.

But if you've understood that human dignity is non-negotiable, you speak anyway. That's the active part of Sabr, as I understand it.

My understanding of Sabr: It has two parts. The seemingly passive part is the internal jihad against our nafs. When someone doesn't snap back, doesn't respond with ego? That's invisible warfare. The greater jihad.

The active part? Standing for what's right, even when costly.

I've been reflecting on Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 2:45, and there's something that strikes me deeply.

Allah tells us to seek help through Sabr and prayer. Then He says something remarkable: "Indeed, it is a burden except for the humble."

Allah Himself acknowledges this path is difficult. سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰه
