A 3B model that beats a 7B: failure-driven orchestration on uncontaminated knowledge

How a fully sovereign QA stack โ€” local Wikipedia index, distilled Qwen2.5-3B reader, and crutches built only from measured failures โ€” went from 33% to 52% on facts no LLM can have memorized, and matched a zero-shot 7B more than twice its size. TL;DR Configuration Post-cutoff-150 accuracy 3B naked (no retrieval) 0.0% [0โ€“2.5] 7B naked 0.0% (by construction โ€” see below) 3B + sovereign chain (start, Sep 29) 33.3% 3B + sovereign cha...

A Cucumber Alternative for Kotlin and Java

Cucumber earns its place on one kind of test: an acceptance test whose output someone outside the development team reads. A tester, an analyst, a product owner. That reader is the only reason to put Given-When-Then on a test at all. Unit tests are code, and developers can read code. I wrote Kensa for that reader, and it works the same in Kotlin and Java. This post takes a Cucumber scenario, moves it to Kensa, and maps the rest of Cucumber's concepts across, so you can see what a move involv...

Your AWS role can't tell a human from an agent anymore, part 1: the threat model and the identity problem

Here's the honest thing nobody says at the "why hasn't AI coding taken over my org yet" keynote: the individual experience is genuinely great. Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw โ€” spin them up on a single machine and the productivity bump is real. You finish in an hour what used to take a day. The step that dies is enterprise adoption . Not because the tools stop working โ€” but because a company running a proper SDLC can't just log in and let an agent have the run of the place at 9am for the nex...

Your AWS role can't tell a human from an agent anymore, part 3: the SCP backstop

Part 1 gave the agent its own identity; part 2 made its calls visible. Neither of those stops a determined mistake. This part is the one that holds when they do. Layer 3 โ€” Enforce: SCP as the hard backstop No matter how careful you are with identity and action-level IAM, give enough engineers this pattern and someone will reuse their admin role , or the one with iam:* , or a production break-glass role. Policy review culture only gets you so far. That's where Service...

Your AWS role can't tell a human from an agent anymore, part 5: putting the four layers together

The reason enterprises fail at agentic tools isn't that the tools are weak โ€” it's that they either hand over the kingdom or lock everything away. The previous four parts give you the alternative: Layer Failure mode it covers What it buys you 1. Identity (SSO, dedicated role, source identity) Long-lived or shared credentials Bound and attributable sessions with a short blast window 2. UA tag ( AWS_SDK_UA_APP_ID ) Missing application telemetry A best-ef...

Stepping into Open Source: A First-Year CSE Student's Perspective on Hacktoberfest

Hello DEV Community, As a first-year Computer Science and Engineering student, entering the broader tech ecosystem can feel overwhelming given the sheer volume of technologies, frameworks, and methodologies available.

The purpose of this post is to establish a public learning log, hold myself accountable, and tra...
