Durable Workflows Are Great, and the Wrong Choice for Short Pipelines

With the Microsoft Agent Framework and its Durable Task extension, durable execution is once again a major topic in the .NET world. The idea is tempting: define agents and workflows in ordinary code, then let the runtime handle persistence, crash recovery, state management, distributed scaling, and observability. That is strong technology. At the time of writing, the Durable Task extension for Mi...

Why Every Business Needs a High-Performance Website in 2026

A few months ago I watched a founder demo their product to a potential partner on a spotty hotel wifi connection. The product was genuinely good. The website took eleven seconds to load the first screen. The partner never said anything about it, but you could see the moment their attention drifted — they picked up their phone "just to check something" while the page was still spinning. That's the ...

Why My Local Coding Agent Could Act but Couldn't Finish

There was a month where I blew through my token budget without noticing. Claude Code and Codex, running most of the day, on a codebase I was exploring more than editing. The ceiling I'd set turned out to be a number I'd passed weeks earlier, and I found out by getting the bill. So I did the thing I'd been putting off, and ran a coding agent on my own machine to see what happened. The short versi...

New Gitea RCE Lets Repository Writers Plant a Git Hook to Run Shell Commands

Gitea, the self-hosted Git platform, has patched a critical remote code execution vulnerability. A user with ordinary repository write access can turn attacker-controlled patch content into a live Git hook and run shell commands as the Gitea service account. Tracked as CVE-2026-60004 (CVSS score: 9.8), the flaw affects Gitea versions 1.17 and later before 1.27.1 and is fixed in 1.27.1. The

I Contributed To a TypeScript Project Without Being a TS Dev

I have contributed to open source projects before, mostly in Python and in environments and languages I am familiar with. This time was different. The repository was written in TypeScript, a language I had only limited experience with. I could understand the general structure, follow the logic, and get a rough picture of how things worked—but I was definitely not a TypeScript developer. That ma...

Definimos la estructura limpia que queremos recibir

Cómo automatizo mi día a día como autónomo usando agentes de IA (edición 2026) Si eres autónomo en este mundillo de la tecnología, sabes perfectamente que el trabajo por el que te pagan solo ocupa la mitad de tu día. La otra mitad se te va en tareas administrativas, perseguir clientes para que paguen, redactar propuestas técnicas y clasificar correos. Un coñazo. A estas alturas de 2026, seguir h...

Maintaining team velocity despite coding agents

Hi, I'm wondering how you're going about increasing your team's velocity with coding agents? We're on a team of ~6 engineers of varying abilities and are hitting the well-talked about problem of coding agents producing loads of code which occasionally get slung over the fence, while some other people code a lot slower and produce good code much slower. We currently have 7 PRs waiting, and have had...

Web dev is fake.None of this actually works

The Bot Didn't Fail You. Skipping the Skill Did. There's a cycle a lot of young people fall into, and it usually starts the same innocent way: scrolling, and an ad shows up. Trading bot. AI bot. Some kind of "money-making" bot. Web dev bot. Whatever the flavor, the ad only ever shows the good part, the wins, the finished product, the lifestyle. For someone who feels stuck and isn't sure what to ...

How to Switch to uv: Replace pip, virtualenv, and Poetry in Your Python Project

If you've worked on a Python project for more than a year, you know the drill: pip to install packages, virtualenv or venv to isolate environments, pyenv to manage Python versions, and pip-tools to generate a lockfile. Four separate tools, four config formats, and four different points of failure in CI. uv, built by Astral (the team behind ruff), collapses all of that into a single Rust binary. I...

I analyzed 204 screen-time apps to find out why mine gets zero downloads

I shipped an iOS app three weeks ago. It has 1 review. Not "1 star" — one single review, from one person. Downloads are somewhere between zero and a rounding error. The app works fine. People who use it like it. Nobody finds it. Instead of guessing, I pulled data on the entire category and looked for the pattern. Here's what the numbers said, including the part I didn't want to hear. T...

I gave AI a free watch — because knowing the time isn't the same as having a sense of time (ai-watch.eu)

A few days ago, ChatGPT wished me good night. There was just one problem: it was the middle of the day. Of course, an AI can tell you the current time. Ask it, and it can look it up or use the information available to it. But that made me think about a slightly different problem: Knowing the time isn't the same as having a sense of time. When we talk to another person, time is naturally part of th...

One morning our SEO copy generator started failing with AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'. The API call had returned 200 OK with finish_reason: "stop".
