Building Four Apps Turned Out To Be Easier Than Shipping One
I entered the RevenueCat Shipaton with one app in mind. Now, I’m sitting on four. That’s a personality type, not a plan. What I'm Building (And Why) The Shipaton is a build-in-public hackathon run by RevenueCat. The premise: ship something real, document it publicly,...
Why We Aren’t Ready for C-3PO
When people picture a robot, they picture C-3PO (or if you're a Trekkie, it's Lieutenant Commander Data and his brother Lore): a humanoid that walks into any room, understands what you say, picks up anything, and improvises when things go sideways. Decades of science...
Designing an Honest Multi-Model Image-to-Image Generation Workflow
Disclosure: I work on Image to Image Generator, the product example used near the end of this article.The hardest part of a multi-model image-to-image interface is not adding another model to a dropdown. It is keeping the interface truthful while source-count rules,...
Monitoring Kubernetes with Prometheus and Grafana: Complete Setup Guide
Kubernetes is dynamic by design. Pods appear and disappear, workloads scale horizontally, nodes become unavailable, and deployments continuously modify the state of the cluster. That dynamism makes observability essential. Without reliable monitoring, engineers often...
Smart Rate Limiting: the Fail-safe Your Bot Vendor Cannot Build for You
Your bot management platform will miss an attack eventually. This is the design we use for the thirty minutes between the miss and the fix: a forecast-driven, multi-dimensional rate limiter that runs inside your own stack, on libraries you already know. 01. Where the...

My Chromebook Wouldn't Boot Unless I Physically Removed the SD Card — Here's the Bug I FoundI recently dual-booted Ubuntu onto an old Chromebook by installing it to an SD card, keeping ChromeOS intact on the internal storage. The install went fine. Then I rebooted,...
Silent Data Failures: How to Detect When Real-Time Applications Look Healthy but Aren’t
A crashed application is usually easy to recognize. A process stops, an endpoint fails, an alert fires, or users can no longer access the system. The harder production problems are the ones where nothing appears to be broken. The application is running. Users can log...
Knowledge Graphs: What They Are, Where They Live, and How to Build One
Knowledge graphs quietly power a surprising amount of the tech you touch every day — search results, recommendations, fraud alerts, and increasingly the AI assistants we talk to. Yet the core idea is refreshingly simple. Let’s walk through it end to end: what a...
Why Better RAG Starts With Better Ingestion
Part 2 of 6: Building a production retrieval layer, one failure at a time. TL;DR: Same 5,000 documents. Same embedding model. Same top-5 retrieval, same prompt, same everything downstream. I changed only the ingestion pipeline — structure-aware chunking, provenance on...

Decision Logging: The Observability Pattern That Actually Helps AI Agents
Most agent-debugging sessions begin with the same question: Why did the agent do that? Why did it send a notification? Why did it suppress one? Why did it retry the same tool? Why did it act on stale data? Why did a high-confidence prediction turn out to be wrong?...

AI Could End the Trade-Off Between Software Quality and Speed
AI gives us enough engineering capacity to stop cutting corners and start building software that stays correct. So much energy in my life was spent making compromises between quality and speed, or pushing technical dev priorities. Constantly growing backlog, and guilt...
Why AI Can Fix Bugs but Still Struggle to Find Them
My experiments with GLM-5.3-flash, and the difference between following instructions and knowing what to question. I had this crazy idea - what if I can find such algorithm which can find all the bugs in any software, literally ALL. And while going though it (quite...
Why Clients Change Their Minds Right Before Launch
