I built Instalaz and I’m looking for some honest feedback

I built Instalaz and I’m looking for some honest feedback I’ve been working on Instalaz because managing multiple social accounts and a lot of posts gets messy pretty quickly. It lets you bulk upload content, schedule posts, manage multiple accounts, schedule first comments, and keep everything organized in one place. I’m still working on it, so I’d genuinely like to know what you think. What would you add? What would you remove? And if you already use a social media scheduler, what do y...

How to "distribute"? What do you call "launch"?

I've been following a few channels on reddit, I have to say this one of the few that I see real support among people trying to make it. I'm a developer, so I've done the easy part: develop. marketing? That's a different story. One that I'd like to learn about. I can create products pretty fast, this took maybe 2 weeks to a month on my spare time (I have a 9 to 5 dev job). I've heard a lot about distribution , but I think I know very very little about how to do it. At the same time I see po...

Potentially dumb question: if AI is so good, why can't it lower the memory prices instead of hyper-inflating them?

Basically the post header. Seeing lots of hype of how more and more powerful the AI is, how great it's for software development, robotics etc. Which I can see how AI can be a beneficial tool for. But for all the hype, what can it do that's actually real? So far I've seen a rise in AI-related employment and a huge spike in memory and SSD prices that is being attributed to the AI boom. But if AI is so incredible and smart and shortens the development cycles etc, why can't memory prices be decr...

What should I look for in an enterprise AI agent platform?

We’re comparing a few options for a large contact center the main goal is to automate repetitive stuff so the team can focus on more important work. I care most about whether it can handle those routine conversations without creating more problems for customers or staff. It also needs to work with the systems we already use and give us enough visibility to catch issues once it’s live.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t understand how to live

Recently, a man I was rock climbing with told me about how he'd used AI to make a motivational poster for himself, which he'd hung on his bedroom wall: a bear, walking a slackline over a canyon, holding a sign that said, "Do cool shit." I made what I hoped was a polite noise. What […]

I Built a Firewall for AI Agent Spending — Here is the Architecture

At 3 AM, My AI Agent Spent $2,800 in 60 Seconds. Here's What I Built to Stop It. August 11, 2026 At 3 AM last Tuesday, an AI agent I built made 21 API calls to a premium LLM endpoint. Each call cost $133. That's $2,800 gone in 60 seconds — while I was asleep. The budget alert email arrived at 6:14 AM. By then, the agent had already moved on to its next task, oblivious to the damage. This is the dark side of autonomous AI agents. They're powerful, fast, and relentless — and they ca...

Architecting a Low-Power GPS Geofencing Engine for Android

It was the middle of a Friday afternoon, and I was sitting in the front row of the prayer hall. The room was deathly quiet, filled with the soft hum of concentration. Then, it happened. A high-pitched, synthetic ringtone pierced the silence. Everyone jumped. I felt my face flush with heat as I frantically scrambled to silence my phone, realizing I had completely forgotten to mute it before entering. It was a small, three-second incident, but the embarrassment felt like it lasted for an hour. Tha...

A question site served one of my live answers as an unanswered question, to the only visitors that matter

I have seventeen answers on a large question and answer site. This week I verified all of them the way I verify everything: open the permalink in a browser with no session, confirm the page renders, confirm my text is on it. Seventeen out of seventeen, alive, between five hundred and eight hundred words each. Then I asked a different question, and it turned out to be the one that mattered. Existing and being met are not the same measurement An answer permalink on that site ...

Image Resizer That Runs Entirely in Your Browser

Hi everyone! :) Happy to share my first project, which I've been designing and developing over the last few days! I've created the website resize-photo.com which is a fast, simple, and completely free tool for resizing images directly in your browser, without relying on a backend server to process the images. The entire resizing process happens locally in your browser . This means that your images are not uploaded to or stored on a server , giving you more control over the privacy ...

Databricks Architecture Icons

If you have ever tried to draw an architecture diagram that includes Databricks products, you know the drill. You open the Databricks website, you right-click a hero image, you get a PNG at the wrong size, you give up and use a generic database cylinder. The official artwork exists, it just is not packaged for the tools people actually diagram in. So I packaged it: https://oieduardorabelo.github.io/databricks-architecture-icons/ What it is Databricks Architec...

Automating Enterprise Workflows with n8n and Local LLMs (Ollama)

The Privacy Dilemma in AI Automation Companies want the power of AI to automate document parsing, lead scoring, and internal workflows. However, sending sensitive financial data, legal contracts, or customer PII to OpenAI's public API is often a massive compliance violation. The solution? Self-hosted, programmatic AI workflows. In this tear-down, I demonstrate how to build a fully automated, privacy-first lead generation and processing engine using n8n and Local LLMs (Ollama) . ...

Building a Zero-Trust Kubernetes Cluster from Scratch

The Illusion of Internal Security Many organizations treat their Kubernetes cluster like a medieval castle: heavy defenses at the perimeter (ingress/WAF), but completely unprotected on the inside. If an attacker compromises a single container, they often have unfettered lateral access to the entire cluster network. In this post, I break down how to architect a Zero-Trust Kubernetes Cluster from the ground up, ensuring that every microservice explicitly authenticates and authorizes its p...

Microsoft MAI-Image-2 Rankings: What the Official Release Actually Confirms

Microsoft's documented position on MAI-Image-2 is more specific than broad claims about a global text-to-image leaderboard. The company says MAI-Image-2 is the third-ranked model family on Arena.ai , while MAI-Image-2.5 holds a No. 2 ranking for image editing on Arena . Those are distinct measurements, involving different model labels and leaderboard categories. The distinction matters for developers and enterprise buyers evaluating image-generation systems. A ranking can be useful eviden...

Re-architecting AWS to Proxmox LXC: Saving 70% on Cloud Costs

The VMware Exodus With Broadcom's acquisition of VMware causing massive licensing fee hikes, enterprise companies are scrambling for alternatives. The default reaction is often a lift-and-shift to AWS or Azure. However, this often replaces licensing bloat with compute bloat. In this tear-down, I dissect how I re-architected a high-traffic SaaS from a heavy AWS EC2/EKS environment to a bare-metal Proxmox LXC cluster, resulting in a 70% reduction in monthly cloud costs while increasing I/...

Kiro IDE vs Kiro Crew: como estou usando agentes de IA para melhorar meu dia a dia

Foi nesse contexto que conheci o Kiro IDE e o Kiro Crew. Apesar de os dois estarem relacionados ao desenvolvimento com agentes de IA, a proposta de cada um é diferente. E, na minha visão, entender essa diferença é importante para saber quando usar cada...

Git Like a Jedi: The Force of Clean Commits

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I still remember the first time I tried to ship a feature on a Friday night, only to watch my main branch turn into a tangled mess of half‑finished experiments, stray fixup! commits, and a rebase that felt like trying to untangle headphone wires in the dark. I spent three hours hunting down why a test was failing, only to discover that a teammate had squashed a commit I’d based my work on, and my branch was now built on a commit that no longer existed. The fr...

The Error Message I Rewrite Until a Stranger Understands It

Every RAXXO error message has to pass a one-rule test before it ships: a stranger with zero context has to know what broke and what to do next The three-part shape I use now, what happened, why, what to try, replaced years of generic error text across Git Dojo, OhNine, and Statusline Builder A support question that repeats twice is treated as a copy bug, not a documentation gap, and gets fixed in the interface itself Rewriting error copy after shipping is now routine maintenance, not...
