Five CLIs Walk Into a Context Window

Five CLIs Walk Into a Context Window

A technical analysis comparing how five different AI coding CLIs manage token usage and context windows when using the same language model to solve an identical debugging task.

Great breakdown of the hidden costs behind AI coding assistants. The differences in tool definition overhead alone are wild — Claude Code sends 62,600 characters of tool definitions per turn while Aider sends zero. Worth reading if you’re thinking about which CLI tools you’re reaching for and what you’re actually paying for under the hood.

Effection: Structured Concurrency for JavaScript

Effection: Structured Concurrency for JavaScript

Structured Concurrency and Effects for JavaScript. Stop worrying about asynchronous bugs and memory leaks. Effection gives you leak-proof, composable operations with the structured concurrency guarantees you didn’t know you needed.

Effection takes a different angle on async JavaScript – instead of bolting cleanup and cancellation onto promises after the fact, it bakes structured concurrency in from the ground up. Every operation automatically cleans up after itself, including all child operations it spawned, so resource leaks become a thing of the past. The API feels familiar too – just regular let, const, try/catch/finally – no exotic abstractions to learn. Dependency-free and under 5KB gzipped, with first-class TypeScript support. The GitHub repo is worth a look.

Also see their post The Hearbreaking Inadequacy of AbortController for a great explianer of the type of problem Effection is solving.

Embeddable RAG library for Elixir/Phoenix with agentic pipelines and dashboard.

This looks like a really well-thought-out approach to adding RAG capabilities to Phoenix apps. The three-function API (ingest, search, ask) keeps things simple, but it also supports more advanced agentic pipelines with query expansion, multi-hop reasoning, and self-correction, with built-in LiveDashboard integration and swappable backends (pgvector, Bumblebee for local embeddings)

React-router V6 Released!

React Router v6 overview

This is big news! I’ve been waiting for v6 for forever and a day (at least). One legacy app with react-router v4, and another app using v5, and this version looks to have everything I’ve wanted. I have to say the road has been a bit rocky with react-router over the years – breaking API changes between v3 and v4 for example, as well as losing features, or steps backwards at times – but this release looks solid, checking off all the boxes for what I’d hope it would be.

Nice work
