Where most coding agents treat memory as an afterthought bolted onto a ReAct loop, MiMo Code builds its entire architecture around three time scales: single-turn reasoning (computation), multi-turn continuity (memory), and cross-session improvement (evolution). The headline result: tied with Claude Code under 200 steps, wins 65%+ beyond 200. This is the first coding agent where the https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-mimo-code-quick/episode.mp3 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 9:24 7 https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-mimo-code-quick/ MiMo Code — Deep Dive MiMo Code is a terminal-based coding agent designed for extended automated programming tasks, tackling the challenge of "how to maintain decision quality and state continuity over dozens or even hundreds of execution steps." The article organizes its technical design around three pillars: computation, memory, and evolution.

Genrich Altshuller analyzed hundreds of thousands of patents to discover that inventive problems and their solutions follow repeatable patterns — then built a toolkit (40 principles, contradiction matrix, IFR, ARIZ) around that insight. The method works: documented ROI at Intel ($212.5M over 21 months) and Samsung (50 patents in a single year) proves it. But TRIZ's enduring https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-triz-quick/episode.mp3 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 7:58 9 https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-triz-quick/ TRIZ — Deep Dive TRIZ (pronounced /trɪz/) is a Russian acronym for teoriya resheniya izobretatelskikh zadach, meaning "theory of inventive problem solving." It's a methodology that merges "an organized, systematic method of problem-solving with analysis and forecasting techniques" drawn from studying global patent literature. The approach is guided by the laws of technical systems evolution.

Write a schema once using t.model(), and the framework derives static types, runtime validation, OpenAPI 3.1, AsyncAPI 3.0, executable BDD scenarios, automatic adversarial fuzz tests, Gherkin feature files, typed frontend hooks (React/Solid/Vue/Svelte Query), typed WebSocket clients, database schemas (Drizzle/Postgres/SQLite), form validators, and breaking-change detection — all with https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-triadjs-quick/episode.mp3 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 10:36 11 https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-triadjs-quick/ TriadJS — Deep Dive Triad (also called TriadJS) is a TypeScript-first API framework built on the idea that an API's specification, implementation, validation, and tests should never drift apart because they are the same thing. It's a monorepo of 21 packages, 4 reference examples, 83+ behavior scenarios, and 1000+ tests. The central thesis: write TypeScript once using Triad's declarative DSL, and you get runtime validation, static types, OpenAPI 3.1, AsyncAPI 3.0, executable BDD scenarios, automatic adversarial tes Source: https://github.com/justhamade/triadjs https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-triadjs-deep/episode.mp3 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 18:54 12 https://podcast.torkington.com/episodes/2026-06-12-triadjs-deep/ 99 Bottles of OOP — Quick Take Sandi Metz's practical workbook on writing cost-effective, maintainable object-oriented code.

Instead of chaining LLM calls through opaque abstractions, you decorate plain Python functions as @actions that read and write typed state, wire them into transitions with ApplicationBuilder, and get persistence, observability, replay, and a debugging UI for free.

Fisher Memorial Lecture — the paper that gave us "all models are wrong." Box argues that science advances through a motivated feedback loop between theory and practice, not by speculation or data accumulation alone. He uses Fisher's decade at Rothamsted Experimental Station as the master case study: dung data → orthogonal polynomials, a lady tasting tea → experimental design, cotton yarn → extreme value theory, potatoes → ANOVA.
