Why do most AI agents fail? Because people assume they can run unsupervised. The reality: agents need human oversight. The work isn't glamorous, but it's essential. What professional use actually looks like: - Automated checks for style, format, rules and more - Detecting when things deviate - Never accepting outputs blindly - Reviewing logs for compliance The power everyone talks about? It's real. But it comes from the unglamorous work: testing, finding what breaks, building systems to catch it. What can go wrong with your agent? Find it. Catch it. Do that, and inshallah you'll have something genuinely reliable for the one specific task you need. #AIagents #AI #automation #artificialintelligence #technology

I use two AI agents to improve my writing. Same brief to both. Same context, restrictions, initial draft. Agent 1 writes. Agent 2 reviews it and tells me what to feedback to Agent 1. They catch each other's mistakes. Real issues, not just validation. Sometimes they disagree and I decide. Most of the time, the process just produces better output. I’d suggest trying this wherever quality really matters, whether that’s business writing, academic work, or personal content. #AIAgents #AIWorkflow #ContentCreation #BusinessWriting #AITools

Both have their place, but let's be clear about the difference. Most WordPress work is configuration, not programming. Developer mindset: Write code in Python, Rust, TypeScript, Go. Understand what happens under the hood. Control every aspect. Build deterministically and reproducibly. WordPress mindset: Click through a GUI. Hope plugins work together. Accept black boxes. If it works somehow, you're done. The questions they ask are different too. Developer: "How do I automate this? How do I optimize performance? How do I scale this system?" WordPress user: "Which plugin do I need for that?" Both are valuable. But the skillsets aren't the same. #WordPress #WebDevelopment #Programming #TechSkills #DeveloperLife

Enjoy this boring post. I have this weird crush on typography. Spent days diving into fonts: theoretical knowledge, which ones are available, where to get open-source versions, how to create your own, where to use which (web pages, formal writing, email, video subtitles, coding environments, books). I just find it amazing how beautiful letters can look. You probably don't share this passion. That's fine. But if you code and want something that's actually pleasant to look at for hours: JetBrains Mono. Trust me on this one. #typography #fonts #design #coding #developer

The word Sabr has become so embedded among Muslims that it's internationally recognized. Like "computer" - no longer really perceived as belonging to one language. But what does Sabr actually mean? My understanding: Sabr is a mindset that guides our actions. It has two parts. The first part looks passive from the outside. Someone doesn't snap back with a sharp response. They don't react with anger. It looks like they're doing nothing. But inside? They're fighting battles. Fighting their ego. Fighting their nafs. Holding back what feels natural to unleash. That's the greater jihad - the one that no one sees. The second part is active. It's standing up for values worth defending. Concrete example: Allah created all human beings and granted them dignity and honor. Every person, from birth, has human rights that cannot be stripped away. So when we see Israel bombing newborns, killing thousands of children, committing genocide - speaking against this is Sabr. Even when it harms your career in the West. Even when they call it "politics" to avoid dealing with it. Even when they try to silence you. Standing for justice, for dignity, for the sanctity of human life - this is the active part of Sabr that I believe we don't discuss enough. Al-Baqarah 2:45 tells us to seek help through Sabr and Salah. Both parts. Internal and external. Private and public. And سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰه - in this same Ayah, Allah directly states that this path isn't easy. Indeed, it is a burden except for the humble. He acknowledges the difficulty. In my understanding, this is compassion at the highest level. These are my personal thoughts. I have many flaws, and Allah the Perfect knows best. #Quran #Sabr #AlBaqarah #Justice #Palestine

Let me be honest with you. Someone gives me advice and before I can even process it, I already have my defense ready. Like a reflex. I just don't want to hear it from THAT person. Now yes, technically speaking, good advice is good advice regardless of who says it. We should focus on the message, not the messenger. I can't argue with that logic. But here's my honest struggle: I know that's the right way to think, but controlling my Nafs in that moment? That's hard. And سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰه, I think this is where I see Allah's mercy and understanding shine through in this Ayah from Surah Al-Baqarah. From my understanding, Allah is not forcing us to accept advice from everyone. Instead, what I understand from this is: Allah is reminding the advice givers to look at themselves first. To work on themselves before they rush to correct others. It's beautiful when you think about it. The advice giver becomes someone worth listening to. And the advice taker? They're more likely to actually accept and benefit from that advice. A reminder I needed. Maybe you did too. #Quran #AlBaqarah #IslamicReminders #MuslimReflections #QuranReflections

Zohran Mamdani won. That's not just another election result. That's regular humans proving something important. Billionaires threw money at smear campaigns. Politicians on paychecks joined in. The whole machinery tried to stop him. And regular people said no. That's the story here. Regular New Yorkers did something nearly impossible. They united and showed they're stronger than a few individuals with billions. But let's be real. Those powerful enemies didn't just vanish. They're not happy. And they didn't become that powerful by giving up easily. Keep watching. Keep supporting. Keep making noise. The win happened because of the people. Keeping it will InshAllah take the same energy. #ZohranMamdani #NewYork #PeoplePower #GrassrootsMovement #PoliticalVictory

Apart from Israeli witnesses, what do we actually know? The UN sent Pramila Patten to document sexual violence on October 7th. Her team reviewed: - 5,000 photographs - 50 hours of digital footage - CCTV footage - Traffic cameras - Body cams - Dash cams The findings? - No medical evidence of rape - No forensic evidence of rape - No photographic or digital evidence of sexual violence Not even evidence of sexual violence in general, let alone rape. Pramila Patten herself says: we have no photographic or digital evidence of sexual violence. Yet her public conclusion? "We have reasonable evidence for sexual violence." It contradicts her own findings. Norman Finkelstein asks the right question: So you're telling me none of the witnesses hiding in places of safety captured an image or video? Despite all these cameras everywhere and it supposedly happening in public? This isn't an absence of evidence. This is overwhelming evidence that it didn't happen. Why would a UN representative contradict her own report? Because these lies serve a purpose. They manufacture consent for genocide. Watch Candace Owens' interview with Finkelstein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g0IC1ZlcIg #Palestine #FreePalestine #Israel #GazaGenocide #Truth

Norman Finkelstein pointed out in an interview that South Africa submitted a 700 page memorial to the International Court of Justice for their genocide case. Plus another 4,000 pages of supporting documentation. 4,700 pages total. That's not activism. That's a legal case built on evidence. #Palestine #Gaza #FreePalestine #ICJ #InternationalCourtOfJustice

A federal judge just issued a 161-page ruling addressing pro-Palestinian speech. Judge Young, 85, appointed by Reagan, ruled that students arrested at encampments had every right to say what they said. "Didn't say anything that crossed any line." The ruling went further. It confirmed that even non-citizen immigrants have the right to free speech in America. Supporting Palestinians and not supporting Israel doesn't cross a line." Compare this to what the Supreme Court has protected: advocating the violent overthrow of the government. Burning the American flag. Both ruled as protected speech. Yet students saying "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" face arrest, masks forced over their faces, their rights trampled. Judge Young called those who did this "cowardly desperados acting like the Ku Klux Klan," terrorizing free speech rights. Norman Finkelstein brought attention to this ruling and the hypocrisy it exposes. The law is clear. The double standard is clear. #FreeSpeech #Palestine #FreePalestine #StudentProtests #Justice

In just the very first month, October 2023, more Palestinian children were killed than in all the other war zones in the world combined. The minimum, and again the minimum, estimate is that 20,000 children were killed in a single month in this tiny place called Gaza. These are the words of Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish academic who has been speaking out for Palestinians long before most of the world understood what was happening. He said this in response to Van Jones, who claimed that the reason you are seeing all the dead babies on TikTok is because Qatar and Iran control the platform. Finkelstein's response was simple. Maybe you are seeing these dead babies because there are so many dead Gazan babies. This man paid a high price for speaking truth. Back when Zionists were much stronger, Jewish supremacists blacklisted him from finding a job. He was not even accepted on a volunteer basis. All for simply speaking. Alhamdulillah, more people know about him today and can listen to his words. #Gaza #Palestine #NormanFinkelstein #FreePalestine #Truth

Seventy-five percent. That's the percentage of Israeli Jews who believe there are no innocents in Gaza. Not 7.5%. Not 15%. Seventy-five. I used to think the problem was just the leadership. That Israeli people must be different from Netanyahu, like how Pakistani people are different from their leaders. Norman Finkelstein destroyed that illusion with simple facts. Netanyahu is Israel's longest serving prime minister. When Israelis see him, Finkelstein says, they see themselves. About half support committing genocide in Gaza. Even opposition leaders casually mention that the IDF kills children as a hobby. This is not a leadership problem. This is a society problem. #FreePalestine #Gaza #Palestine #IsraeliCrimes #Genocide

What about the average Israeli citizen? Are they like Netanyahu or different? I used to think they had to be different. In Pakistan, we love Imran Khan while he sits in jail on fabricated charges. That shows leadership does not always reflect the people. But Norman Finkelstein disagrees when it comes to Israel. This is the same person who called Gaza a concentration camp long before others saw it. Today we recognize it as genocide. He has been right before. Finkelstein says Netanyahu is not just the face of Israeli society. He is its reality. I want to believe people are fundamentally good. But someone could ask me about Nazi Germany. Was the majority of the population not fine with what was done to a religious group? The answer I want and the answer that is true are not always the same. #Palestine #FreePalestine #Gaza #Genocide #NormanFinkelstein

Norman Finkelstein gave up on Palestine in 2020. Not 2023. Why? Because Gaza was already a concentration camp, and the world simply didn't care. He spent years fighting for justice. Wrote books. Prepared cases for the International Criminal Court. His book "I Accuse" sold 370 copies. He bought half of them himself. That's what happens when you speak truth before it's mainstream. He had to face reality: nobody seemed to care. So he questioned whether to keep persisting in the face of complete indifference. I knew about Gaza being occupied long before the global world did. And it keeps me thinking: if Palestinians themselves hadn't actively fought for their own human rights, what would have happened to them? The world's attention is selective. The suffering never was. #FreePalestine #Gaza #NormanFinkelstein #Palestine #HumanRights

Checking election results multiple times in one day probably says something about me. The NYC mayoral race. Zohran Mamdani. Here's the thing. I know it's naive to think a politician would prioritize people over money. Politics doesn't usually work that way. But Zohran might actually do it. And even if that hope is naive, I'd rather have it than not. InshAllah the people of New York get good leadership. #NYC #ZohranMamdani #Politics #NewYork #Leadership

I think most Muslims have no idea that just a century ago, a Muslim empire existed. This Ayah from Surah Al-Baqarah has taught me something profound about why empires rise and fall. From my understanding, Allah repels corruption by raising those who stand for justice. When the corrupt dominate, He helps replace them with the just. But when the just become corrupt, they too will fall. If I apply this understanding to history, the Muslim empire fell because Muslims had become corrupt. It was natural. Inevitable. Today, we are witnessing the fall of another corrupt power. The United States, actively involved in bombing around one hundred thousand people in Gaza. Israel, now exposed as a genocide state. The so-called liberal nations, stripped of credibility for supporting oppression. Many Muslims wish for a time when we are not attacked simply for being Muslim. We dream of rising again. But here is what concerns me. If Muslims were, InshAllah, to rise again and build an empire on justice, would we maintain that justice? Or would we become comfortable, relaxed, and fall into the same corruption as those we replaced? History could repeat itself. We could fall again. This Ayah is not just about others falling. It is a warning to us. Justice is not just how we rise. It is how we must remain. May Allah guide our brothers and sisters to His path, a path rooted in justice. #Quran #Islam #Justice #SurahAlBaqarah #MuslimUmmah

My wife asked me whether she would be safe if she wore the burqa here. I couldn't confidently say yes. How crazy is this society where I find myself wondering: if she did wear it, how would I explain to those eye-rolling people that it's her right to wear whatever she wants? These same people like to show their bodies. She doesn't. So why should I force her to be like others when she doesn't want to? Yet somehow, they would still flip the narrative. This is what Islamophobia looks like. Not always loud. Often just... uncertainty about basic safety and freedom. I was thinking about this after watching Zohran Mamdani talk about his own experiences with Islamophobia. He's a young politician who could become NYC's next mayor, inshallah. One line that stuck: "Well, just do these things and keep it secret that you're Muslim." The whole video is worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGBQwCsIhn0 #islamophobia #muslim #freedom #doublestandards #zohranmamdani

I wanted to share something I found and think is amazing. I was working on a small project and needed Quran fonts and metadata (ayat numbers, surah names, and similar). Found this open source GitHub repo called quranic-universal-library. It freely provides Quran-related resources for developers. I only used the fonts and basic metadata, but they have tafsirs, translations, mushaf layouts, and more. Love seeing efforts like this. Sharing in case it helps other Muslim devs. TarteelAI/quranic-universal-library on GitHub #MuslimDevelopers #QuranTech #OpenSource #GitHub #IslamicDevelopment

Ran a test comparing Codex CLI and Claude Code. Task: analyze GitHub repos to find project information. Claude said the feature didn't exist. Codex found it. One test doesn't make one better than the other. Different tools, different strengths. Use both if you can. #AI #coding #development #tools #GitHub

Watched my AI agent burn thousands of tokens refactoring code while forgetting dependencies. Got frustrated. Built my own MCP helper. It uses a language server instead of letting the AI stumble through refactors. More reliable. Less waste. Problem solved. #MCP #AIAgents #DevTools #LanguageServer #Coding
