A directory told me exactly what my followed link is worth: ten upvotes

I submitted my product to a lot of directories over the past few weeks. Then I measured what those listings actually gave me, and the answer was worse than the page count suggested: twenty four listings across twenty one domains, and five links a search engine would follow. I assumed the other sixteen were nofollow out of habit, or caution, or because that is what platforms do now. Then one of th...

How Claude's rate limits actually work — and how I track them in real time

I was two hours into a debugging session with Claude when it just stopped. No warning. No countdown. No indication I was close. Just a message telling me I'd reached my usage limit. Two hours of context — gone. I had to start over. That was the moment I started actually trying to understand how Claude's rate limits work. What I found surprised me, and I haven't seen it explained clearly anywher...

A broken heading hierarchy is an architecture problem, not a markup one

On a recent BigCommerce remediation, an audit flagged the heading hierarchy. Levels skipped and jumped across the page, so the structure a screen-reader user navigates by didn't hold together. The checklist fix is obvious. Open each template, retag the headings, close the finding. But the levels weren't the bug. They were the symptom. Each heading was hardcoded into its own template. A section ...

Designing tools an LLM won't misuse

Originally published on Loop & Retry — field notes on building LLM agents that survive production. Most agent bugs I've chased weren't in the model. They were in the tools — specifically, in the gap between what a tool's schema implied it wanted and what it actually did with what it got. The model is a caller that reads your parameter names and descriptions, forms a plausible theory of how th...

Debugging a failed agent run costs more than the run itself

Originally published on Loop & Retry — field notes on building LLM agents that survive production. Here is the intuition to kill: a failed run is cheap because you can just run it again. A deterministic system earns you that assumption — the bug is sitting there, reproducible on demand, and debugging is a bounded search through code you control. An agent is not that system. When a run fails, ...

Your AI Agent Changed Its Config. Can You Roll It Back Safely?

A configuration change can be more dangerous than a code deploy when an AI agent can send messages, edit repositories, spend money, or operate a browser. The usual rollback advice is simple: keep the old file and copy it back. That is not enough for an agent. A configuration revision can change tool permissions, model routing, retry behavior, queue limits, browser profiles, or approval rules whil...

Four ICPC Habits That Survived Production, and Two I Had to Unlearn

Every few months the same argument comes back around: does competitive programming make you a better engineer, or does it just make you good at competitive programming? People who did it defend it. People who did not point out, correctly, that nobody has ever shipped a segment tree to production. I have been on both sides of that line, so here is my honest accounting. In 2021 my team won the ACM...

Pattern Recognition: The Matrix Mindset for Top Coders

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I was staring at a pull request that felt like a boss level in a retro arcade game—except there were no extra lives. The code was a massive if/else if/else chain that decided how to handle different JSON payloads coming from a third‑party API. Each branch did almost the same thing: validate a few fields, map them to our internal model, then call a service. T...

How to stop a Claude Code agent writing outside a directory

When you're sitting in front of an agent, "don't touch anything outside src/" is enforced by you noticing. Unattended, it has to be enforced by something that runs whether or not anyone is watching. Claude Code gives you two mechanisms for that, and they are not interchangeable. One is declarative and can't express what you probably want. The other can, but is structurally blind to a whole catego...

How to Find the Beat of a Song (BPM + Key)

Originally published on IFEELVOID. Play the song and count the pulse for 15 seconds. Multiply that number by four. If you counted 35 beats, the song is roughly 140 BPM. That is the fastest manual way to find the beat of a song. It is also where the confusion starts. A trap record at 140 BPM can feel like 70. A drumless intro can hide the pulse completely. A sample can drift. And knowing the temp...
