From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering: What Karpathy Got Right (and What's Missing)
Karpathy says vibe coding is dead, long live agentic engineering. I wrote about this shift a month before he coined the term. Here's what his framework nails — and the critical piece it overlooks.
GoGPU: Unified 2D/3D Graphics Integration in Pure Go
How we built enterprise-grade 2D/3D graphics integration without CGO, and our roadmap to a production-ready GUI toolkit
GoGPU Enterprise Architecture: Cross-Package GPU Integration with gpucontext
New gpucontext package enables database/sql-like GPU resource sharing. DeviceProvider, EventSource, IME support. Foundation for gogpu/ui toolkit.

122K LOC Pure Go graphics library: Canvas API, GPU acceleration, text rendering, blend modes, scene graph. No CGO. Powers IDEs and professional apps.
Smart Coding vs Vibe Coding: Engineering Discipline in the Age of AI
Linus Torvalds uses AI for Python. Anthropic writes 90% of code with AI. But there's a crucial difference between Vibe Coding and Smart Coding — and it determines whether AI makes you faster or just creates more bugs to fix.
GRPM v0.5.0: 75% Gentoo Coverage — Rapid Development Complete
