I Got Hacked Through My Own Workflow (And I Didn't Even Know It)

I Got 47 Recruiter Messages Last Week, Here's What I Learned About My Own Resume

Last Tuesday, I posted a single comment on a GitHub discussion about LLM optimization. By Wednesday morning, my inbox had 12 new recruiter messages. By Friday, I'd hit double digits again. The kicker? None of them had actually read my profile. One wanted me to relocate to the Bay...

The Default That Almost Broke My API: Why Choosing How to Fail Matters More Than You Think

Three years into building production systems, I almost shipped a bug that would've been worse than any security vulnerability I've actually caught. It wasn't a SQL injection or a weak password hash, it was something quieter and more dangerous: a catch block that said `return tru...

Stop Building MCP Servers Like It's 2019

Two weeks ago, I spent an entire afternoon wrestling with deployment configs for an MCP server I was building for Claude. YAML files, Docker nonsense, manual testing against three different client APIs, the works. By the time I got it running in production, I'd burned through hour...
