An editable range can change without changing Word text

An editable range can change without changing Word text A Word document can store an editable-range marker around text and associate that marker with an individual editor. The covered text can remain exactly the same while the stored editor assignment changes. Text-only review sees no change, while package-level review can report the marker without pretending to know whether an identity is actually authorized. Document Change Assurance Benchmark 0.9.0 adds its twentieth determinist...

I got offered a Web3 job on LinkedIn. The "codebase" was built to rob me.

A stranger messaged me on LinkedIn about a job in the Web3 space. Friendly, low pressure, said it sounded like a good fit. To show me what the team was building, they shared a private GitHub repository and asked me to spend "15 to 30 minutes running it and looking around" to see whether the project made sense to me. That repository was not a job assessment. It was a trap designed to steal from the developer who runs it. Here is what it actually was, how it works in plain language, and the red...

Do Not Trust the Green Checkmark

Most people trust a green checkmark in a CI pipeline. If every job is marked as successful, we usually believe that everything worked correctly. I was doing the same. Then I found a case where a completely green workflow was hiding an important problem. While testing hafiza-kur across different platforms, my main goal wasn't just to see green checkmarks. I wanted to build a full list of what broke on which platform. I needed to see every single error, without stopping the pipeline at the firs...

I Built an MCP Server So AI Assistants Can Process PDFs Directly

I run PDFHaul, a free browser and mobile PDF toolkit, as a solo founder. A few months ago I kept running into the same friction point: every time I wanted an AI assistant to help with a PDF task, I had to manually download the file, upload it somewhere, run the tool, then feed the result back into the conversation. For anything involving more than one file, that loop got old fast. So I built an MCP server for PDFHaul. This post covers what it does, how it's built, and a few of the harder deci...

Run It, Don't Read It: coding agents predict check scripts instead of running them

A coding agent with read access to your check scripts will predict them instead of running them. Prediction costs more and gets the answer wrong. A session I was directing had a small decision in front of it: whether to switch on an optional guard that nudges delegated sessions toward a particular decision shape. The guard ships inert. Its owning brief says so in one sentence: switching it on is the consumer's own registration, and absent that the thing is inert prose, which is the stated de...

CRM integration. Shall we talk about it?

You've got one CRM integration in production and it's been fine for months. Now there's a second one to wire up. Same contract, same schema, same node shape. Should be a couple of days. You pull the first payload from CRM B and put it next to CRM A out of habit. CRM A, a monetary field: { "key" : "estimated_cost" , "value" : 1275.43 , "spec" : { "type" : "number" , "format" : "decimal" } } CRM B, same kind of fie...

A friend dared me to build Pass the Pigs during the apéro. Two LLMs reviewed my plan.

A friend dared me to build Pass the Pigs during the apéro. Two LLMs reviewed my plan. Or: a non-technical friend wanted to see what AI could do. He watched it plan — and watched two AIs shred the plan. The challenge It happened at an apéritif, in front of a non-technical friend who wanted to see what AI could do. We were playing le jeu de cochons (Pass the Pigs) — the apéro game where you throw two tiny pigs, they land in one of seven positions, and you push your luck again...
