I’ve been working on kicad-mcp-pro, an open-source MCP server that connects KiCad PCB and schematic workflows to AI agents. GitHub: https://github.com/oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro What is kicad-mcp-pro? kicad-mcp-pro is an MIT-licensed open-source pro...

🚀 Introducing Algenix: Building an Open-Source Computer Algebra System from Scratch > A modern symbolic mathematics engine built from scratch with a high-performance C++ core and a clean Python API. 🌟 The Beginning Every developer has a dream pr...

Two major security stories this week — one about a coding agent that was quietly exfiltrating developer repos, and one about attackers who used 12 AI agents inside a coding assistant to build ransomware. The tooling story and the threat story are co...

If you have ever tried building a text editor, an IDE, or a collaborative document tool, you quickly run into a fundamental wall: how do you store the text? At first glance, a standard String seems fine. But Strings are immutable; changing a single ...

This post documents a real debugging session that started with a simple symptom — example.com wouldn't load — and ended up uncovering several separate, unrelated problems layered on top of each other. It's written to walk through the actual diagnosti...

The framing problem Most “Kamal vs Kubernetes” articles are written by people who just discovered Kamal and are excited about it. They frame it as a simpler alternative that embarrasses Kubernetes. That framing is wrong and it wil...

If you're coming from engineering like I was, Third-Party Risk Management feels weirdly... analog at first. No version control, no CI/CD pipelines, no unit tests for vendor compliance. Just spreadsheets, PDFs, and hope. But here's the thing: after d...

HTMX apps are refreshingly simple: the server returns HTML fragments, and HTMX swaps them into the page in response to hx-get, hx-post, and friends. There is usually no bundler and no client framework. That simplicity is the point, and it is also why...

Not every app has a bundler. Plenty of real software is still a folder of HTML and JavaScript served as static files: internal tools, landing pages, small products, and anything deliberately kept simple. These apps ship and they matter, but their tes...

Today's goal: take a simple Flask app running in Kubernetes and expose it to the outside world using Ingress, instead of relying on NodePort or LoadBalancer services. This post walks through the setup, the errors I hit along the way, and how each one...

We just made a call that's a bit unusual for us: giving away $447 of QAlity Pro to every user, free, for 3 months. Every QA lead I talk to says the same thing - they know their testing process needs to grow up, but the tools for it always sit behind ...

Every organization that lets an AI agent ship code has a sign-off step: a name on the release, a reviewer marking the pull request approved, a ticket moved to done. A human is accountable for that call, always. What most teams cannot answer is whethe...

source link1 If you have ever started a SaaS or admin dashboard project from scratch, you already know the annoying part: You do not just need one dashboard page. You need analytics cards, charts, data tables, ecommerce screens, auth flows, sett...

Introduction I used to install every extension that looked interesting — ended up with 40+ extensions and a VS Code that took 10 seconds just to open. Eventually I stripped it back down to the ones I actually use every single day. These 10 are the...

Selling the Decision, Not the Data: The Architecture Behind Gallus Resolve Debt collection is a data-hoarding industry. The instinct, when recovery rates sag, is to buy more data — more phone numbers, more addresses, more append files — and throw t...
