Become a sponsor to Muhammad El Sayed
Hi, I'm Muhammad — a backend engineer who keeps building developer tools instead of doing the sensible thing and resting.
What I maintain
learning-mode — an Agent Skill with an unusual selling point: it makes your coding agent worse at writing code, deliberately. Instead of generating your implementation, it explains, asks questions, and reviews what you wrote yourself.
Yes, you paid for an AI that writes code. Yes, I built a thing that stops it. You'll understand your own codebase for the first time in months. MIT licensed, free forever.
More skills are in the pipeline. This section is designed to grow.
Why sponsor
Everything here is free and stays free. The unglamorous part isn't — issues need triage, agent runtimes change and quietly break things, docs need writing, and none of that happens by itself at 11pm on a Tuesday.
Sponsoring moves this work from "whenever I get to it" to "actually scheduled." In practice that means:
- Bugs fixed while you still remember filing them
- Docs and examples that don't assume you can read my mind
- New tools, same open licence
About me
I work on backend systems — Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse — mostly architecture and making slow things fast. Everything I publish started as a tool I built for myself and then felt guilty keeping private.
Sponsor if it's useful to you. Send a PR if you'd rather pay in code.
Both are appreciated; only one of them requires you to read my code.

Learn the thing, don't paste it. A Claude Code skill that guides but never implements: "if you could paste what Claude wrote and have the task done, it wrote too much."
