Your AI Agent Works in Dev. It Will Fail in Production. Here's the Math.

Your AI agent passes every test. It handles edge cases. You demo it to your team and everyone nods. Then you deploy it. And it breaks. Not a little. Catastrophically. The kind of break where you stare at logs for three hours wondering what went wrong, only to discover your RAG pipeline silently returned the wrong chunk 40% of the time. You're not alone. RAND Corporation found that 80-90% of AI ...

Claude Code Can't Draw — This Plugin Borrows Your Codex CLI Login

TL;DR: "Claude can't draw" is a budget problem, not a capability problem. codex-bridge (MIT) is a Claude Code plugin that routes image generation (gpt-image-2) and five GPT-5 subagents through the Codex CLI login you already have — billing against your ChatGPT plan instead of a second API key. I have not tested or run it; this is a source-reading review. How it works. Two bash wrappers shell out ...

Architecting Battery-Efficient Geofencing for Android Automation

It happened during a quiet afternoon at the community library. I was deep in a focused work session when my phone decided it was the perfect moment to blast a loud, jarring ringtone. Every head in the room turned toward me. The embarrassment was immediate and sharp. I had forgotten to silence my device after leaving a noisy cafe, and that one oversight destroyed my flow and disrupted everyone else...

Structured Context vs Pixel Context: What Coding Agents Actually Need

Context is becoming the bottleneck in AI-assisted development. Not model capability — models are improving fast enough that they're regularly not the constraint. What limits the quality of AI-generated code is the quality of context those models receive. For Figma-to-code workflows, context comes in two fundamentally different forms: pixel context (screenshots, rendered images) and structured con...

From Threat Model to Framework: Closing the Real Gaps in Agent Skill Security

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the risk hiding inside AI Agent Skills, the small instruction folders that Claude, GitHub Copilot, and other agents now install like packages, and the fake malicious skill I built to prove that risk was real (full piece here if you want the background). That post was the problem statement, a threat model, and a proof of concept. This post is the framework. Sinc...

How I Wired Up Fully-Automated Cross-Posting Between Blogger and dev.to (With Working Code)

The last two posts on this blog went out through a pipeline I built specifically so I wouldn't have to manually copy-paste content between platforms. Here's the actual setup, in case you're trying to do the same thing. The goal One command, two platforms: publish to Blogger (where this blog actually lives) and have it show up on dev.to at the same time, without dev.to's copy counting against the...

Pytest Built-in Fixtures

As I've been onboarding to my new position, I've been reviewing some of my coworker's code. I learned that pytest 1) has some built-in fixtures, and 2) they are really useful! First, briefly, what are fixtures? When writing pytest tests, it's pretty frequent to write fixtures for reusability. They are used to set up tests. For example, a common fixture is: @pytest.fixture() def dataset_path():...

Why Pasting Figma Screenshots into Claude Fails (And What to Use Instead)

Here's the workflow that's become default in every design-to-code team right now: export a frame from Figma, paste the PNG into Claude or Cursor, type "build this", and iterate on the hallucinated output. It works just well enough to feel productive. It doesn't work well enough to ship from. This isn't a model capability problem. It's an input problem. A screenshot is the worst possible represent...

Agentic AI and big data: what your platform needs before agents are useful

The pitch for agentic AI on enterprise data is genuinely appealing: instead of a chatbot that answers one question at a time, you get something that plans, queries, checks its own work, calls a second tool, and comes back with a finished piece of analysis — or actually does the thing. Reconcile these two systems. Find out why yesterday's pipeline was late and open a ticket. Pull the accounts at ch...

Your Serverless Cron Job Failed Silently at 3AM: Making Event-Driven Jobs Reliable

Moving scheduled tasks off a cron box and onto serverless functions solves the "one server, one crontab, one single point of failure" problem. It also introduces a quieter one: a job that used to fail loudly in a log you'd eventually read now fails silently, retries in ways you didn't design, and sometimes runs twice. The reliability work doesn't disappear when you delete the crontab — it moves in...

Show HN: Lumabri – What if LLMs worked like Napster?

A while ago I started working on Colibrì to see if it was possible to run huge LLMs on a normal computer. The project grew far beyond what I expected, thanks in large part to the HackerNews community.That led me to a new question:What if we stopped thinking about one computer?This is the idea behind Lumabri.Instead of requiring a single machine to store and run an entire huge model, Lumabri treats...

Ghidra internals: Where are my logs ?

Ghidra uses the Apache Log4j logging library to store a lot of execution messages. Finding these logs can be quite tricky, especially if you launch Ghidra from a shell (using ghidraRun) because no output is displayed in the terminal. Usually, the first instinct is to look for a .ghidra directory directly in your HOME folder. In our case, that will fail. Under Linux, Ghidra follows the XDG Base ...

Self-hosting a lite agent backend on one TPU: Gemma 4 E2B + vLLM on a v5e-1

Self-hosting a lite agent backend on one TPU chip A single Google Cloud TPU v5e chip — 16 GB of HBM, about $0.58/hour on spot — will serve google/gemma-4-E2B-it under vLLM at 1,496 output tokens/sec aggregate, with 8.02 ms per-token latency at single stream and native tool-calling. That is enough to back a fleet of 8–16 concurrent "lite" agents for roughly $0.107 per million output toke...

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...
