Make any scan searchable - locally, no Python, no Ghostscript, no upload

I had a folder full of scanned PDFs - old contracts, receipts, a couple of books - and none of them were searchable. No Ctrl-F, no copy-paste, just pictures of text. I wanted to fix that. I did not want to upload any of it to a website, and I really did not want to spend an evening installing a toolchain to do it. That turns out to be a surprisingly awkward corner. The two usual answers...

I built a memory engine for AI agents. No cloud required.

---cover_image: https://cdn.codecora.dev/2026/07/uteke_thumbnail_compressed.png---Every AI agent I've used has the same problem: it forgets everything between sessions.You explain your architecture, your trade-offs, your team conventions. Next conversation? Blank slate. You're re-explaining the same things to a model that has zero memory.This isn't a prompt engineering problem. It's an infrastruct...

Archetype: The Chef

Most sprint planning meetings follow a familiar pattern. Work gets divided up. Owners volunteer for different pieces. Infrastructure starts talking about new environments, and QA begins thinking through test cases. Before long, it feels like everything has been accounted for. Then someone asks a simple question. It may not be exactly phrased like this but it amounts to asking this: "What has t...

Evaluating AI in DevOps: Strategies to Identify Effective Tools and Mitigate Risks

Introduction: The AI DevOps Divide A year ago, our team embarked on an aggressive exploration of agentic AI in DevOps, driven by management’s enthusiasm. The results? A stark divide between tools that delivered tangible value and those that introduced inefficiency or risk. This isn’t a story of AI’s failure but a pragmatic lesson in selective adoption. The mechanism here is clear: AI to...

⚡ Weekly Recap: Rogue AI Agents, Check Point Exploit, Slopsquatting, ClickFix Lures and More

Monday starts with the usual promise that everything is under control. Then the logs wake up. This week, trusted tools crossed lines, old flaws found new work, exposed systems stayed exposed, and attackers kept hiding inside normal-looking services. Nothing looked strange at first. That helped. That is the mood. Here is the full recap. ⚡ Threat of the Week OpenAI Says Its AI Agent Went Rogue

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...

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...
