I built a screen time blocker that has no account, no server, and no idea who you are

I was doomscrolling about three hours a day. Not "checking my phone a lot" — three hours, measured, on a screen time report I didn't want to look at. So I did what developers do: I went looking for a tool. What I found was a category with two flavors, and neither one was built for me. Flavor 1: parental control wearing a productivity costume Most "app blocker" apps assume a supervisor...

The Card Said AI

The card said to use AI to build a quarterly compliance report out of a client's event platform. Before I wrote a line I cloned the app. Laravel, about 22,000 files. I spent a day reading it instead of building. There was already a scheduled tracker running. There were attendee exports nobody opened. There were seventeen compliance sheets sitting in the repo that nobody had connected to the ask. T...

That Conclusion You Stored Might Be Expired. But It Won't Tell You.

Last Wednesday afternoon, I was going through a batch of meeting notes. One of them was from three months ago: "Users don't need a search function. Recommendations are enough." The person who wrote that — it was probably after some user feedback session, a moment of clarity, a conclusion worth saving. Three months later, another discussion started citing it. The person quoting it never stopped t...

How I Built a CLI That Generates 12 Project Templates in 30 Seconds

How I Built a CLI That Generates 12 Project Templates in 30 Seconds When I started building ScaffoldX, I had a simple goal: create a CLI tool that generates production-ready project templates in seconds — not minutes. After 3 weekends of iteration, I got it working. Here's how. The Problem Most project scaffolding tools suffer from two problems: They're slow. Even "fa...

Building a Perceptual Hash Pipeline for Video Deduplication in Python

A single viral clip never stays a single file. Within hours of a video trending, our crawlers pull the "same" clip back a dozen times: re-encoded at a lower bitrate, letterboxed for a vertical feed, watermarked by an aggregator, trimmed by three seconds, or mirrored with a 2% zoom to dodge platform fingerprinting. A byte-for-byte SHA-256 sees twelve unique videos. Our users see one clip spammed ac...

Knowing What’s Under the Hood Helps

I’m not a car guy. I can drive them, but I don’t know the first thing about fixing them, and not much about maintaining them. My son, on the other hand – who’s getting a degree in mechanical engineering – is most definitely a car guy. He’s learning a lot about cars, and he’s teaching me a lot about what I’ve been doing wrong, even with simple things like maintenance. I was thinking a lot about th...

Beyond Autocomplete: How Engineers Can Build High-Impact projects with Agentic AI

Over the past couple of years, AI in software development has quietly crossed a major threshold. What started as glorified tab-completion—handy for filling in boilerplate or guessing the next syntax block—has morphed into something fundamentally different. Today’s modern models don't just complete your sentences. They reason through problem specs, map out entire repositories, write comprehensive t...

The reconnect storm that never touched the broker

There's a particular kind of 2 a.m. that only happens in fleet IoT. A slice of your devices — a few thousand of them — drop off the network at once. Bad uplink, a segment of the field going dark; the reason doesn't matter. Minutes later they all come back. And here's the part that surprised me the first time it happened: the managed broker didn't blink. No connection ceiling hit, no broker to melt...

This guide covers all four, then shows the full runnable example. What is OpenAPI contract testing? OpenAPI contract testing verifies that your live HTTP requests and responses conform to the OpenAPI schema you publish. ...

Why Dependencies Are Your Biggest Security Risk

You install a package. It solves a problem. You move on. You do not think about it again. But that package is now part of your application. It has access to your data. It runs in your environment. If that package has a vulnerability, so do you. The Numbers A typical Node.js project has over 500 dependencies. A Python project has over 100. A Rust project has over 50. Most developers...

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.
