AI eroded the web: Stack Overflow dropped 78% since ChatGPT. Sources lose traffic to AI answers, which breaks the incentive to share anything.

Hands-on experience with AI, self-hosting, Linux, and the developer tools Botmonster actually uses
Agentic RAG with LangGraph: 25% better accuracy, fewer calls
Agentic RAG lets LLMs autonomously decide when to retrieve, which sources to query, and validate results. Build pipelines with LangGraph and Ollama.
Local AI image upscaling: Real-ESRGAN vs. Topaz vs. SUPIR
Real-ESRGAN is free and fast. Topaz Photo AI wins on quality and face recovery. SUPIR makes the most detail but needs 12GB VRAM. Speed and cost too.
Hypothesis property testing: find edge cases automatically
Hypothesis generates hundreds of random inputs to find bugs example-based tests miss, then shrinks to the smallest failing case. Works with pytest.
Home Assistant energy dashboard: 4 flows, solar, and battery tracking
Track solar production, battery charge cycles, and home consumption in the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard without any third-party vendor cloud app.
Production LLM hallucinations: taxonomy, evals, and RAG defenses
Reduce LLM hallucinations: failure taxonomies, Chain-of-Verification, RAG grounding, eval suites, and architectural defense layers for production.
