One of the great joys in life is having pets.

I think everyone's life would be better with a pet (or two) in their lives. […]

Ah, the relationship between animals and the technology they can’t quite understand.  Today, it seems like there’s a high-tech solution to every element of pet ownership, with devices on the market designed to keep pets fed, cleaned, watched over, and entertained. And if you have a pet you know: nothing is too good — or […]

One of the best things my smart home does is help me care for my pets, and security cameras are particularly useful for keeping track of my many critters.

There's an argument to be made that people wouldn't be all that interested in Coyote vs. Acme if it weren't for the way David Zaslav tried to kill it. By trying to shelve the project, Warner Bros. Discovery only drew attention to its habit of disappearing nearly completed movies in order to cash in on […]

The symptom For four Mondays in a row my data pipeline finished with complete , stages_ok: 16 , stages_failed: 0 . And the run row in the database stayed empty: duration_ms was NULL, no summary written. Every downstream reader filters on duration_ms IS NOT NULL , sensibly, to skip fragmented runs. So those runs did not show up as broken. They did not show up at all. The public time series just had holes in it, and nothing anywhere used the word error. The only clue was in a later...

Automating Daily Bluesky Posts with a JSON‑Driven Content Pipeline TL;DR: I added a set of JSON files and a lightweight loader to the content‑automation repo so our CI can generate and publish daily Bluesky posts automatically. The change centralizes multilingual copy, makes the publishing script data‑driven, and removes the manual copy‑paste step that was breaking our release flow. The Problem Our weekly release process includes a short status update on Bluesky. The c...

Originally published at fathohm.dev . The term "comprehension debt" is Jason Gorman's, from September 2025, carried by Addy Osmani in March 2026 — this piece is about measuring it. There's a module in your codebase that shipped last month. It works. It has tests. It passed review. And if it breaks at 2am, nobody on your team can explain what it does. Ask "who understands this?" about any given file in an AI-native codebase and the honest answer, increasingly often, is no one — not...

Look, startup or Enterprise? How to Pick the Right AI API Stack Let me set the scene for you. A few months back, I was chatting with two friends on completely opposite ends of the AI spectrum. One was bootstrapping a side project on pizza and prayers, wondering if he could afford to add an LLM to his SaaS without going bankrupt. The other was leading engineering at a mid-sized fintech, sweating bullets because his CTO wanted enterprise-grade guarantees before signing a single contract. Sam...

Cloudflare named code mode in September 2025, resting it on one line: "LLMs are better at writing code to call MCP, than at calling MCP directly." The follow-up post put a number on it — an entire 2,500-endpoint API in about 1,000 tokens. I wanted my own number, on my own data, for a task I actually had. The task fetch all linear tickets in progress (full body for each) and count the amount of times we say 'mcp' across all of it 39 tickets. Nothing exotic — the kind o...

Moving from AI-Assisted Engineering to AI-Agentic Software Engineering The rise of AI coding assistants has transformed how developers write software. Tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have significantly improved developer productivity by helping generate code, explain concepts, and automate repetitive tasks. However, the industry is now entering the next evolution: AI-Agentic Software Engineering . Instead of AI simply assisting developers, AI agents can now tak...

Originally published on echoeffect.net . If you have been inside Google Search Console recently and clicked into the Pages report (previously called Index Coverage), you may have seen a section titled "Why pages aren't indexed." That list tells you exactly which URLs Google found on your site but chose not to add to its search index, and the reason for each one. This is not abstract SEO theory. Pages that are not indexed cannot rank. If Google is excluding pages from your site, you are...

Two agents finish the same task and report back. Fixed. The migration now handles null values. It wrote the code. It never ran it. Fixed. Added a null-handling layer, refactored the migration runner into a strategy pattern, and introduced a validation module. Every word true. All of it works. None of it asked for, and that strategy pattern is now yours to maintain forever. Point your code-review agent at both. If it checks claims against the repository — does this code exi...
