Good Posts - Feb 2026

List of articles (in no particular order) that I enjoyed reading in Feb 2026.

• https://www.fast.ai/posts/2026-01-28-dark-flow/
  • A mature take on coding tools.
• https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2026/02/the-culture-of-limits-iv-hinduism-forms-and-the-infinite.html
  • An interesting series where the author talks about how different religions define the concept of limits.
  • I didn’t find a link that has all the articles in one place and therefore, I am sharing the one that I stumbled upon.
  • Can’t comment on the quality of the output but I always enjoy reading such interesting commentary on religion and philosophy.
• https://openai.com/index/harness-engineering/
  • Appreciate the initiative to figure out what will it take to build applications without writing code manually.
  • Would have been nice if they had shared the use case of the application, the target audience and user feedback.
  • It would be interesting to know the cost of the setup. There are quite a few Codex instances that are running together to do the work.
  • It would be interesting to know the profile of the team members working on the project. It seems that they are all engineers. This would have been even more interesting had there been Product Managers and QA Engineers in the mix.
• https://openai.com/index/inside-our-in-house-data-agent/
  • My biggest takeaway from the article were the response times in the screenshot. Having worked on similar problems, it was satisfying to see that OpenAI was trying to solve the core problem and not get distracted by useless metrics such as sub-second response to “talk to the database” use cases.
  • Another interesting takeaway was the pre-processing done to build the context. I think they should just write an article to talk about the best way to build something like that.
• https://harpers.org/archive/2026/03/childs-play-sam-kriss-ai-startup-roy-lee/
  • Super long read but worth every second.
  • As much as Silicon Valley is a place for amazing innovation, it also the place for some mind-boggling stories.
• https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler
  • Another example of the Frontier Labs working on more complex coding harness.
  • The post is more about experimenting with a multi-agent harness over writing a compiler.
  • The claims made around compilers from scratch are exaggerated in the marketing video. The blog post is more honest.
