No Dogs in Space is a music history podcast for true obsessives

Sadly, there hasn't been a new episode of No Dogs in Space since July of 2024. Part four of the podcast's series on Can wrapped up an abbreviated season three, which focused on experimental rock. Don't get me wrong, I loved seasons one and two, but the show seemed to be gearing up for a […]

Structured Context vs Pixel Context: What Coding Agents Actually Need

Context is becoming the bottleneck in AI-assisted development. Not model capability — models are improving fast enough that they're regularly not the constraint. What limits the quality of AI-generated code is the quality of context those models receive. For Figma-to-code workflows, context comes in two fundamentally different forms: pixel context (screenshots, rendered images) and structured context (typed IR, tokens, semantic relationships). These aren't just different formats for the s...

Architecting Battery-Efficient Geofencing for Android Automation

It happened during a quiet afternoon at the community library. I was deep in a focused work session when my phone decided it was the perfect moment to blast a loud, jarring ringtone. Every head in the room turned toward me. The embarrassment was immediate and sharp. I had forgotten to silence my device after leaving a noisy cafe, and that one oversight destroyed my flow and disrupted everyone else. Standing there, frantically tapping my screen to kill the sound, I realized my phone wasn't actual...

Claude Code Can't Draw — This Plugin Borrows Your Codex CLI Login

TL;DR: "Claude can't draw" is a budget problem, not a capability problem. codex-bridge (MIT) is a Claude Code plugin that routes image generation (gpt-image-2) and five GPT-5 subagents through the Codex CLI login you already have — billing against your ChatGPT plan instead of a second API key. I have not tested or run it; this is a source-reading review. How it works. Two bash wrappers shell out to codex exec , Codex CLI's non-interactive mode, with your existing codex login (both scrip...

Your AI Agent Works in Dev. It Will Fail in Production. Here's the Math.

Your AI agent passes every test. It handles edge cases. You demo it to your team and everyone nods. Then you deploy it. And it breaks. Not a little. Catastrophically. The kind of break where you stare at logs for three hours wondering what went wrong, only to discover your RAG pipeline silently returned the wrong chunk 40% of the time. You're not alone. RAND Corporation found that 80-90% of AI agent projects never reach production . That's twice the failure rate of non-AI IT projects. ...

How I built BrawlerStats: honest trophy history with Firebase and Cloud Run

BrawlerStats started with a simple question: if a Brawl Stars profile is public, why is it still difficult to understand how a player is progressing over time? I built BrawlerStats as a free, no-login companion for public Brawl Stars data. You can search a public player tag, review trophies and brawler progress, inspect recent tracked battles, open public club rosters, and create daily trophy races between players. The stack The frontend is intentionally lightweight: HTML, C...

Postgres Full-Text Search in Production: How to Load-Test the Index and Pin Down Relevance

Adding full-text search to Postgres is a two-line migration. Running it in production without surprises is not. The GIN index that makes search fast also adds write amplification and a background cleanup process that can quietly fall behind under a heavy insert rate, and "relevance" that looked fine on your laptop can drift the day someone changes a dictionary. Before you decide Postgres search is or isn't enough, you need evidence — a load test against your real write rate and a relevance contr...

AI Agents Are Distributed Systems in Disguise: The Advanced Mathematics, Color Architecture, and Engineering of Production Agentic Systems

AI Agents Are Distributed Systems in Disguise: The Advanced Mathematics, Color Architecture, and Engineering of Production Agentic Systems Let’s skip the surface-level marketing hype. We’ve all seen basic terminal demos: an LLM receives a prompt, calls a search tool, executes a shell script, and someone tweets about "AGI". Then you attempt to deploy that architecture to handle real production workloads. Three hours in, your agent gets trapped in a 35-step infinite retry loop, hallucina...

Mi primer intento con agentes de IA fracasó. El problema no era el modelo

Hace un año arranqué un piloto, con el respaldo de la empresa, para construir herramientas autónomas de IA sobre el trabajo de desarrollo. Un año después, dos desarrolladores del equipo entregaron el doble de los puntos que habían comprometido en un sprint — y el aumento no dependió de su seniority. Entre esas dos cosas hubo un fracaso completo. Empiezo por ahí, porque es la parte que nadie cuenta. El piloto que se depreciaba solo Usé lo que se usaba entonces: orquestadores...

[EN] Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Provisioning vs Decommissioning

In the Infrastructure Lifecycle Management we can identify the functions of: Provisioning and Decommissioning. Both are orchestrated through the application of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, ensuring that the entire asset lifecycle, from initial resource creation/configuration to the secure, verifiable removal of all components, is managed with consistency, auditability, and minimal operational overhead. I. Core Concepts and Objectives Feature Provisioning...

Credential Stuffing Doesnt Break Your Login. It Drowns It. Heres a Pre-Auth Filter.

Credential stuffing is the most boring attack in the world, which is exactly why it works. There's no exploit, no injection, no clever bypass. Someone bought a list of a few million email/password pairs from an unrelated breach, and now a botnet is quietly replaying them against your login form at a few requests per second per IP, spread across ten thousand IPs. Every single request is a valid, well-formed login attempt . That's the whole problem. I want to talk about why the usual defenses ...

Zuckerberg’s yacht was closer, but someone else saved a stranded boat

Earlier this week, the Alaskan cruise ship Wilderness Legacy rescued a small skiff stranded near Farragut Bay after running out of fuel. But, according to tracking data reviewed by the Alaska Beacon and Halifax Shipping News, the closest vessel was actually Mark Zuckerberg's super yacht, Launchpad. Michael Love, a passenger on the Wilderness Legacy, posted […]
