I Built a Notebook for Sharing Notes That Doesn't Ask You to Sign Up First

Someone asked me to share meeting notes in Slack yesterday. I pasted the markdown. Slack ate the table. The code block lost its indentation. The task list rendered as literal [ ] characters. I spent five minutes reformatting something that already looked perfect in my editor. So I sent a link instead. Not to Notion — they would have to sign up. Not to Google Docs — same problem, plus I did not want this living in someone's Drive forever. Not to a pastebin — those are single blobs of t...

I Built a Concurrent Resource Scheduler in Go with Sharded Priority Heaps

Support on GitHub: github.com/phero20/concurrent-resource-scheduler (Give it a star if you find it useful!) View Docs: pkg.go.dev/github.com/phero20/concurrent-resource-scheduler What happens when thousands of concurrent requests compete for a small pool of reusable resources? You can put a mutex around a slice and hope for the best. Or you can design the scheduler around concurrency from the beginning. I chose the second option. I built Concurrent Resource S...

What a signature does not prove

I spend most of my time building evidence layers for AI agents. The reflex in that work is to reach for a signature. Something happened, sign the record, hand it to the auditor, done. Three things from the last five months say that reflex is wrong, or at least badly incomplete. One is a governance draft that never asks for a signature at all. One is a CVE where the signature verified correctly and the client still ended up talking to an attacker. One is a limit in a spec I wrote myself. Re...

Building a Multi-Engine 3D Generation API: Routing, Credits, and Webhooks

How I designed the API layer for Trify3D — a platform that routes one input across multiple AI 3D engines (Tripo3D, Meshy, Rodin) so users can compare meshes side by side. This post covers provider routing, async job management with Trigger.dev, idempotency for credit safety, and webhook delivery. The Problem Every AI 3D engine has a blind spot. Tripo3D is fast (~48 seconds) and great at hard-surface props, but it flattens organic detail. Meshy handles characters and ...

Distributed Tracing: Following a Request Across Microservices

Distributed Tracing: Following a Request Across Microservices A practical guide to distributed tracing as an architectural discipline — why single-service logging and metrics stop being sufficient once a request crosses many services, how a trace actually reconstructs a request's journey, trace analysis techniques for diagnosing latency and failures, and the specific propagation challenges microservice systems built from this series' REST, gRPC, and messaging guides need to solve. ...

What Extended Support Actually Costs: The Cross-Vendor Pricing Reference for Post-EOL Software

The first cross-vendor pricing reference for post-EOL extended support. Microsoft ESU: $61/device doubling yearly ($30 one-time for consumers). AWS: EKS $0.60/cluster-hour (6x), RDS $0.100/vCPU-hour doubling in year three. Ubuntu Pro: $25 desktop / $500 server per year. And the honest quote-based rows — Red Hat ELS, Oracle, SUSE LTSS, CentOS ELS — where no public price exists. Every figure traced to a vendor price page or our verified coverage. The cross-vendor price table ...
