Things Ive Read And Liked (June 2025)

Lazy post, just jotting down some blog posts I’ve recently liked.

Seldo: “LLMs are good at transforming text into less text”

I say that line from the above blog post to myself at least a couple times a week.

It’s a justification to myself as I keep cramming text into context windows. As I ctrl+c entire pages of documentation into my cursor chat. The whole post is good but like that phrase in particular I love.

‘My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts’

Liked this piece a lot–feels like a better version of a really common blog post I’ve read a number of times.

I never feel less certain about LLMs as when I talk to engineers who are clearly way more experienced than me and way smarter than me, who are also way way way less excited about LLMs.

Somewhat LLM-skeptical piece I like

Short one. I don’t want to do a disservice but trying to restate the points this person makes especially since the post itself is so short but I love how this post talks about just regular code.
