USING LOCAL CODING AGENTS

A local setup is a viable alternative to using proprietary services for many coding workflows. Running agents locally makes them transparent, inspectable, and free to run apart from hardware and electricity costs. This tutorial walks readers through how to set up a production-ready coding agent with a fully local stack. The agent uses a locally served LLM with a coding harness that allows it to read files, make edits, run commands, and verify changes.

FINTECH ENGINEERING HANDBOOK

This handbook describes the most important patterns used in software engineering when money is the primary focus of the system. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding for people entering fintech, those already in it, and those outside the industry. The guide follows three principles: no invented data, no lost data, and no trust. Money can't be created out of nowhere, everything that happens to money has to be tracked and persisted, and everything must be verified.
