Earlier this year I mass-migrated my blog to Astro using Claude Code. 146 posts. 6,024 images. Canonical URLs, JSON-LD markup, sitemap generation, the whole stack. I'd spent hours writing a skills file to teach the agent about my blog's architecture, how deployment worked, what not to touch. And it worked. Claude Code rewrote components, fixed...

AI agents are pieces of software that autonomously perform actions to achieve a goal or objective. They operate in loops where they analyze input, such as prompts, context, tools, and memory. They then plan, take actions, and feed the output back into the loop to decide how to proceed. In this way, agents can dynamically ...

On 12 April 2026, we received a vulnerability report regarding an HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in HTTP::Server. The issue was caused by the HTTP request parser prioritizing the Content-Length header over the Transfer-Encoding header, which can lead to desynchronization when a proxy that prioritizes the Transfer-Encoding header sits in front of HTTP::Server for example. The vulnerability was patched in Crystal…

We’ve always found strace useful but somewhat hard to work with. Its output is often inscrutable, it’s hard to follow subprocesses or threads, and if you want to filter syscalls you have to rerun the trace with a flag for each one. What you want in debugging is a tool for exploring, refining, etc., but strace can make this difficult.
AI makes it easy to focus inwards and feel impressed with all the churn and motion and output you're producing. But your users don't care.
