{"slug": "dusting-off-my-archives", "title": "Dusting off my archives", "summary": "Developer Åkesson announced plans to publish archived coding projects, citing that LLMs made the process cheaper and faster. He highlighted reactive-signals, a repository with commits from 2023 and recent AI-assisted updates, and expressed renewed passion for technology exploration.", "body_md": "This summer I found some time to dust off some of my own git repos — the ones with interesting explorations and other things that might be worth sharing. We are talking about many years of work as a developer and team lead dusted off, so I will probably be publishing quite frequently now, time allowing.\n\nI started it partially thanks to LLMs becoming more trustworthy and capable, which\nmade the dusting off a lot cheaper. So you will find old repos of mine with a\nbunch of recent commits made by LLMs.\n[reactive-signals](https://github.com/akesson/reactive-signals) is a good\nexample: my commits from 2023, three years of silence, then a fresh layer of\ndependency bumps and clippy fixes from this summer.\n\nSounds like AI slop? Well, it certainly is AI-assisted. Slop? I did check the code, and to me it's not sloppy.\n\nWhat I did re-discover is my passion for technology and for exploring solutions. With AI I can explore a new solution in a very short amount of time. That is great!\n\nAnother thing I started doing is using AI to fill in my knowledge gaps in areas I'm interested in. As an example, I have always had some bits missing in my understanding of Rust async. If I find the time for it, I'll do some very AI-driven explainers that explain it from my way of seeing things.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dusting-off-my-archives", "canonical_source": "https://akesson.io/dusting-off-archives/", "published_at": "2026-08-11 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-07 08:56:32.687072+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Åkesson", "reactive-signals", "GitHub"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dusting-off-my-archives", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dusting-off-my-archives.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dusting-off-my-archives.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dusting-off-my-archives.jsonld"}}
