I did try OpenClaw myself when it came out. But I felt like there was nothing really new there over what we had been building for the previous years; just consumer adoption happening. Definitely feels like this new wave of products (Muse, Duet, Dots, etc) is onto something. I have been them daily, feel like they are incredibly useful, and have clients ask to build something like this for them (they never asked for OpenClaw'esque products).

Anime girl level cataclysmic security events definitely don't worry me as much as laughing man (笑い男) cataclysmic events; only then it's when I really start to panic.

I started taking daily classes learning the Thai language in person. While I do learn Thai with AI sometimes, I do feel like an AI tutor can't possible give me the same "edge". Because with AI can just sit down, get distracted, turn it off; walk away and procrastinate. With a tutor however, that never happens; there is also personal connection, and the tutor constantly adjusting what you're learning. I am definitely optimistic about AI-learning and tutoring, but really have a hard time seeing it as replacement.

It is (mine)! And there is a purpose to it looking AI generated. However, the sample projects where actually fully worked on; mostly as hobby projects. I will have it go through another iteration of improvements soon. This may be the 10th version of the website, since maybe 2012-2014, I did have different domains since then. But the concept of using it both as a creative and professional outlet stays alive.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated! Yes its due an overhaul, but a large part of the purpose of this website is going through experiments as a digital garden and having a creative outlet, I am fully aware how it looks, but there is a part of me that needs it to go through the process of looking as sloppy as possible. It's likely going to end up going through its nth iteration very soon, and then another one after that. I do run and maintain (for clients/myself) many websites that look nothing like this.

Awesome! Have been a bit in the dark of the latest models, will have a look. I am due an upgrade for my local machine and GPU, so that excites me as well.

Thanks for the input! And no I agree with your assessment of the website, I have some plans of a much simpler redesign soon, and I definitely value that critique. I think my "digital garden" has been through at least a few dozen of iterations, and sometimes I just get too carried away with it. The good part being, the next iteration always starts out better than the previous one (or at least I hope so :)).

Why does Railway deserve any blame here at all? It was an MCP with elevated infra access, that the user willingly connected through Cursor, which allowed an LLM Agent to manage infra on Railway. The user would first have gone through oAuth confirming the access level scope (I would have rejected the moment it indicates to me that it can delete critical infra and backups...). So obviously it has access to all commands the user would also have access to. From my perspective the blame is entirely on the user, and partly on Cursor for not enforcing HITL correctly across their agents.

SEEKING WORK | Senior Django/Python Engineer - Platform, Architecture, Ops, Applied AI

   Location: Thailand (UTC+7)
   Remote: Only
   Technologies: Django, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, HTMX, Tailwind, Docker, APIs, RAG/MCP
   Resume/CV: https://edwin.genego.io/about
   Email: [email protected]
Senior full-stack Django/Python engineer for founders and lean teams that need platform, product, architecture, and ops ownership. Django has been my daily driver since 2018 — I've only worked with Django-native startups. I know the framework deeply: ORM, migrations, admin, middleware, signals, async, deployment. I build production web platforms, APIs, integrations, internal tools, document/data automation, and AI-enabled workflows. Recent R&D: generative image/video pipelines, Lora training, multi-model orchestration, prompt architecture, and repeatable creative AI tooling—but the broader pattern is platform engineering.

Open to fractional or project-based work, especially 2-6 week focused cycles with startup founders, cofounders, agencies, or product teams.
