Writing by Ajinkya

Ajinkya Sambare.

A guy in tech.

I write about building with AI: the tools I'm using, the things I'm trying, the patterns that hold up after I ship them. New writing arrives when I have something worth saying.

A LOAF ON MY DESKTOP

It has never been cheaper to start a side project. I cannot draw, so I had Claude write Blender scripts and generate a cat for my dock instead. 706 renders later, the useful finding is which half of that collaboration actually worked.

THE ROUND TABLE

I wired Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini into one harness and made them review each other's code until they agreed. One run caught a real bug the tests missed. One burned four dollars arguing with itself. Drag a slider to change the rules and watch the cost change.

RAG THAT WON'T LIE

I built a retrieval system over all of Wikipedia on my laptop, then made it refuse to answer when it doesn't actually know. The full build: parsing 25GB, 14 million chunks, two-librarian search, and the one-line bug that took a crash report to find.

HTML compiles to everything.

Slides, PDFs, status pages, explainers, throwaway editors. I write one HTML file and headless Chrome prints it to whatever the moment needs. Six things I now make this way, with the prompt for each one and a mock of the actual output.

How agents talk to your product.

I stopped opening dashboards weeks ago. The agent next to me wasn't either. We were both using doors I never used to think of as doors. The full ecosystem of CLIs, MCP servers, and REST APIs that lets agents drive your product, and what changes when you build for them.

I write when there's something I've actually built or tested worth sharing. No clickbait, no AI slop, no schedule pressure.
