I Asked Claude to Pick My Dependencies, and Now I'm Questioning Everything

Last month, I was building a new feature flag system for one of our client projects. Instead of doing what I used to do, spending an afternoon researching options, reading Github issues, checking licensing, I did what felt natural in 2025: I asked Claude for a recommendation. Withi...

Stop Building Web Scrapers Like It's 2005

I spent three hours debugging what I thought was a backend issue last month. The API endpoint returned 200 OK, the JSON parsed cleanly, but the data I needed wasn't there. Turned out the entire payload was a React app waiting for hydration. I was staring at a skeleton loader and...

Stop Fighting Your AI Pair Programmer: Why Rule Files Actually Work (And How to Use Them Right)

Last month, I watched Claude generate a completely wrong folder structure for a React component I'd asked it to scaffold. Not *technically* wrong, it compiled fine, but wrong for *our* project. It didn't know about our feature-based colocation pattern. It didn't know we validate ev...

The Infrastructure Bet Nobody's Talking About: Why I'm Watching Silicon Valley's Hardware Shuffle

I spent last Tuesday debugging why our inference pipeline was hitting latency spikes at 3 AM, and my first instinct was to throw more Nvidia H100s at the problem. By Wednesday, I read that OpenAI just dropped a custom chip for inference. By Thursday, I realized I'd been thinking...

I've Been Building Dev Tools Wrong: When UX Gets In the Way

I spent last week redesigning the onboarding flow for a CLI tool I've been working on. Beautiful loading spinners, a multi-step wizard, helpful ASCII art, color-coded success messages, the works. I showed it to a colleague, proud of the experience I'd crafted. He looked at me and...

Why AI Coding Agents Failed at My Unity Project, Until I Realized the Real Problem

Last month, I watched Claude systematically break a Unity prefab system I'd spent days designing. It wasn't that Claude is bad at C#-it's actually quite good. The issue was that Claude was editing files in a vacuum. It could change the code, but it couldn't see what the Editor wa...

I Let My AI Agent Read My AWS Credentials. Here's What I Learned

I shipped an HTML injection vulnerability in an AI chatbot three years ago. The model spit out some HTML, I rendered it straight to the page, and a user discovered they could inject arbitrary content. It was humbling, and I thought I'd learned the lesson: never trust what an LLM...

The Infrastructure Problem Nobody's Talking About: Why WebMCP's Missing Piece Actually Matters

I spent two hours last week debugging why an AI agent couldn't find a specific action on one of my client's web apps. The agent kept trying to scrape the UI instead of calling a perfectly good API endpoint I'd exposed. The real kicker? There was no way for the agent to *know* tha...
