Over the last few months, I've created a collection of custom GPTs: some dealing with programming challenges with personality and humor, ... some others are more useful but less funny. Let’s dive in. Practical enough to ship code. Fun enough to stop hating your legacy base. ⚔️ Legacy (PHP) Code GPTs – Refactoring Fun Legacy code isn’t just technical — it’s emotion ...
LLMs: "Use the coding llm framework and wait for my first request..."
A follow-up blog post for my last llm thoughts, this time with things you can play with. 😊
If your value ends at syntax, AI already replaced you. The system prompt: coding_workflow_for_llms.json Quick Start: Use the coding llm framework and wait for my first request: [copy&past the current coding_workflow_for_llms.json content here] In the last post, we dropped a hard truth:LLMs aren’t replacing developers — they’re exposing the ones who were already replaceable.

Intro – Why Untested Code Breaks Clean Systems In hospitals, people rarely die from surgery itself.They die from something far simpler: infection.And in most cases, the infection starts with skipped hand hygiene. Software systems are no different. You build on top of rock-solid layers: Linux — hardened through decades of collaboration PHP — mature and predictable Apache, Composer packag ...
