Good Agent Bad Agent: Free AI Coding Agents Should Limit Usage, Not Quality
Critical feedback and field observations evaluating modern autonomous AI coding agents including Kiro, Jules, and Antigravity. Why preserving frontier reasoning quality with explicit rate limits creates vastly more developer trust than degrading free tiers.
What Actually Kills You? Voltage or Current
Debunking common misconceptions in electrical physics and electrocution dynamics. Explaining Ohm's law, physiological electrical resistance, ventricular fibrillation thresholds, and why current represents the bullet while voltage represents the gunpowder.
