Stop Your AI Coding CLI From Wasting Tokens on “Hi” and “Thanks”

Pleasantries is a lightweight Python pre-hook script that intercepts greeting-only prompts before they reach an AI coding CLI model. It uses regex fullmatch logic to block inputs like “hi,” “thank you,” or “ok” while allowing prompts that contain pleasantry words but carry a real task.

Never Trust User Uploads to Your S3 Bucket

For modern enterprises, allowing users, partners, or third-party applications to upload files directly into an Amazon S3 bucket is a core business requirement.

Zero Oversells, With or Without a Human: Measuring What Approval Actually Buys You

DROPZERO is a flash-sale demo that guarantees zero oversells using Amazon Aurora DSQL's optimistic concurrency control. I wired an AI shopping agent in front of it, one version that buys the instant it sees stock, one that waits for a human to approve first, and pointed 200 concurrent buyers at 20 units of the same item. The approval step didn't make the sale any safer. DSQL was already guaranteeing that. What it did was cost the approved buyer the sale entirely once the wait passed three seconds.
