It is not the first time this year my laptop does not have enough resources to properly run the huge codebases my customers needs help with! So I put together a NixOS (since I already have devshells per customer) and automation to get a ondemand ready to go and configured dev env.

I don't know how it happened but I just noticed that #claude code moved to "Now using usage credits" and maybe I was too much into Yes man mode but I remember the 94% limit and at some point I just started thinking "oh this 6% looks pretty big" 💸

I would like to buy #headphones. airpod style but I am on linux/android. primarily phone call, listening to podcast, youtube and so on. Good options to suggest?! #lazyweb

This year I keep working at projects that saturate my laptop spec. I have a #thinkpad X1 Carbon with 16Gb RAM... should I try to buy one of those #nvidia #DGX #Spark so I can also contribute to the ecosystem?! I am thinking about getting one too often those days

30% of deployments on Vercel are now agent-initiated. Six months ago that was zero. Your pipeline wasn't designed for this traffic shape. Neither was your on-call rotation. shippingbytes.com/2026/07/17/3...

I mean, usually it takes Open Weight models a few months to catch up... This is much faster than I expected

We are moving to #Berlin for 6 months with out little 2y old! Feedback are more than welcome! Currently trying to recover from a first round searching for an apartment via wunderflats.com 💥💸🤣

‪ It is like Christmas everyday! You just need to tell your boss that an agent needs it to work better and you can get better cli, up to date api documentation, full rewrite of the project that never worked in the language you like the most and whatever you want all well payed!!! Thanks #ai !

Claude code state is broken again and I am wasting time trying to fix it without having to wipe again the claude cache... And "Claude Pro users are not currently able to use Opus in Claude Code. The current model is now Sonnet." I don't remember this was the case yesterday

#claude keeps corrupting its local state folder and it fails miserably to start at least once a week. I think it is time to ask claude to migrate the project to what? #java ?

I use #KeepassX since forever but I feel like it does not integrate that well anymore with my setup or maybe it is a skill issue. I uses it as system keyring but I feel there is some race condition and Evolution Calendar does not correctly authenticate with Google and external calendars. #linux

I have a few months open for new work. If you're scaling a #startup and need hands-on help with automation, #kubernetes, or #o11y let's talk. If you're trying to figure out where AI actually fits in your product without the hype also me. Pragmatic hitch-hiking available. 🚐 shippingbytes.com

I read your blog! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Are we investing a lot in dressing our business to be agent friendly, agent ready or what ever. I get it, but I thought those things were supposed to be the super smart! Why they need all this effort? #ai #agent #llm

I wrote about the hidden cost of “vibe coding.” AI makes it easy to generate working software fast. But someone still has to: * maintain it * debug it * secure it * understand it months later A demo is not the same thing as a sustainable system. shippingbytes.com/2026/05/07/v...

Not an easy April! But good for me it is just work!

I am fine with all of "cli al the things" I am a CLI person. All the noise around them is a bit too much. My inclination to use CLI i suppose make me almost like an agent (open to be paid per token if you want)

The post by mitchellh gave me the final push to finish my GitHub "obituary". I originally started writing it after the Zig to Codeberg move. It's just a retelling of how I remember OpenSource pre GitHub and what it gave us. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/28/be...

Before GitHub

Open Source before GitHub was reputation-driven and full of friction

This is good for the internet. Centralization is not what we deserve mitchellh.com/writing/ghos... hope more people will have the same epiphany for other part of the contribution lifecycle like instance messages for example.

enshittification of AI agents. is it happening?

Most arguments about AI-generated code are talking past each other. Robby Russell asks "does it work?" often yes. Paul Stack asks "does it keep working?" that's where vibe coding breaks down. Both are right. They're just answering different questions. New post shippingbytes.com/2026/04/22/d...

Building a $2.8M ARR open-source portfolio

Alison Gianotto built an open-source product and grew it into a $2.8M/yr portfolio with little to no marketing. Here's how.

I broke production like I was 1 month into this rodeo tonight! I feel young again

I am pretty late in this Sieve game I am sure but god why did I wait for this long!?

When y make your LLM to add a detail plan for itself to use and you commit it for a human to review with a commit message that is a line by line translation from code to "human" and a PR description that is again another verbose translation from A to B for 100 lines changes how do you feel?

I think there is a lot we can learn about "how much we care about something" from "coding agent usage pattern". At least I can clearly recognize it for myself, perfect time to walk out, drink some water, resign.

Today is a good day to stay human

I caught up with Matt Klein, one of the famed developers behind the Envoy Proxy, and had a chat about AI and why the hype machine has gone too far. I think the industry is putting machines over people and the tradeoff leans too far in the rent seeker's favor.

🎙️New episode of Beyond the Noise! Matt Klein brings on Kelsey Hightower. Kelsey talks through what AI is doing to developer salaries, what he tells junior engineers wondering if they picked the wrong field, and why open source is the only realistic check on what's being built today: buff.ly/VUD6ktX
