The Skill Audit

Preface I want to be upfront about something before we get into it. None of the frameworks in this article is mine. The ideas here come from two people who have been thinking about this stuff way harder and longer than I have — and they deserve full credit before I say another word. Dan Shapiro — CEO of Glowforge, Wharton Research Fellow, and the person who gave this whole conversation...

Your gRPC stream is "healthy" and serving nothing: synthetic monitoring for server-side streams

By Daniil Romashov — SRE/DevOps engineer. The tool described here is open source: github.com/youngpabl0/grpc-streams-checker (Apache-2.0). Uptime checks are a solved problem for request/response APIs: hit the endpoint, read the status code, done. Server-side streaming RPCs break that model completely. A gRPC stream isn't a request and a response — it's a channel the server holds open and pushes ...

I kept losing context between LLMs, so I built a Markdown-based memory layer (and here is what I learned)

I kept running into the same problem: after a few weeks away from a project, I'd forgotten why I made certain architecture decisions. Switching between Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini meant re-explaining everything from scratch. And in long chats, the platform's compaction slowly erased the details I actually cared about. The problem wasn't the tools; it was that my knowledge was trapped inside one ch...

Building a Small, Local-First Web Audio Tool (and the Edge Cases I Didn't Expect)

I set out to build a very small browser tool: press a button, play a short low-frequency sweep, stop after 30 seconds. The first prototype was maybe twenty lines of Web Audio code. The version I shipped is still small, but the hard part turned out not to be generating a tone. The hard part was making the tone behave like a decent citizen on a phone: start only when someone asks for it, avoid an a...

AVIF Achieves Baseline Availability: Edge 121 Support Completes Browser Adoption, Simplifying Web Development

AVIF's Milestone and Its Implications Today marks a pivotal moment in web development history: AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) has officially achieved Baseline Widely Available status. This milestone was triggered by Edge 121—the last major browser to adopt AVIF support—reaching its 30-month anniversary. While Edge’s update occurred years ago, the clock on "widely available" status only st...

The Junior Developer Pipeline Is Broken... And AI Broke It

Everyone agrees AI makes senior engineers more valuable. Almost nobody asks where the next generation of seniors is supposed to come from. The work AI automated away was never waste, it was the apprenticeship, and the hiring data says the bottom rung is already gone. There's a story the industry loves telling right now: AI makes senior engineers more valuable. The people with judgment, the ones w...

#S4 Who Holds the Pen: The One Check You Can't Run on Yourself

Two posts ago I told you five strangers audited my systems in a single day and didn't know it. I was pleased with that line. It made me the clever one — the guy who mines the feed for other people's hard-won lessons and quietly ships them into his own tools. This is the post where the feed audited me back. The same week I published a piece bragging that I'd finally learned to steal the check ins...

I Built a Self-Hosted Digital Product Store with Stripe — No Platform Fees

The Problem: Every Platform Takes a Cut I wanted to sell digital products online. I looked at the usual suspects: Gumroad — 10% flat fee Lemon Squeezy — 5% + $0.50 + Stripe fees Etsy — 6.5% + $0.20 listing fee Shopify — $29/month + payment fees On a $10 product, you lose $1-3 to platform fees before Stripe even touches it. For a small operation, that adds up fast. What if you c...

Cloudagotchi Part 3 : It gets hungry while you sleep: A serverless pet brain

At the end of part 2, our pet had a face, reflexes, and a serious philosophical problem: no memory. You could pet it a hundred times, reboot the board, and it woke up with the same hardcoded stats, feeling nothing, remembering nothing. Every day was its first day. Today the pet gets what every Tamagotchi fundamentally is: a state machine with feelings. Its hunger, energy and mood become rows in D...

Removing kubectl from CI Pipelines: A Slower, More Honest Deployment Model

Most teams adopt ArgoCD to speed up Kubernetes deployments. The real value is that it slows them down. The shift from push-based CI/CD to pull-based GitOps introduces a 45–60 second reconciliation lag — and eliminates an entire category of incidents. The full breakdown (with code, benchmarks, and the culture gap every platform team hits) is on my blog: 👉 Read the complete article here Here is th...

Selenium Python Architecture & Significance of Python Virtual Environment with examples

Python Selenium Architecture uses Client - Server architecture which enables the automation of the real browser via code. Compared to other approaches, where the user would have to operate the JavaScript by simulating the input, Selenium instructs the browser in conventional manners. Every time the user initiates an HTTP request by Python, the browser can effortlessly read and proceed with the ins...

Unity 7 Is Coming: What It Actually Means for Your Game

Unity announced Unity 7 at Unite Seoul this month, with an early beta arriving in December 2026 and a full release targeted for Q1 2027. Big engine version announcements usually come with a familiar sinking feeling: broken projects, deprecated APIs, and weeks of migration work nobody budgeted for. This one looks different, and that is genuinely worth talking about. Here is our take on what was an...

How I Reduced Peak Memory from 71.5 MB to 1.8 MB Without a Garbage Collector

Every systems language faces the same age-old tradeoff: Garbage Collection: Easy to write, but introduces runtime pauses and memory bloat. Manual / Ownership Models: Blazing fast, but adds steep learning curves or borrow checker friction. While building Proton (a system programming language), I wanted a third path: Deterministic memory management without GC pauses, and without forcing devel...

n8n Sandbox Escape Lets Workflow Editors Run OS Commands as the n8n Process

n8n has patched a high-severity expression-sandbox escape that could let an authenticated workflow editor execute operating-system commands on the server running the automation platform. Security Joes found the flaw while probing n8n's February fix for CVE-2026-27577 for another bypass. The affected ranges are <2.31.5 and >=2.32.0,<2.32.1. n8n fixed the flaw in versions 2.31.5 and
