What Puma, Falcon, and Pitchfork teach you about Ruby concurrency
by
I went on a tour of Ruby concurrency while preparing a RubyConf talk on Ractors. Going in, I knew Puma, Falcon, and Unicorn. Coming out, I’d added Pitchfork to that list – and noticed something I hadn’t seen before: every Ruby concurrency primitive has at least one production web server built on top of it.…
My First Two Weeks as an Agentic Engineer
by
There’s a version of this post where I tell you AI made me 10x more productive, everything clicked on the first try, and I’m now shipping software while sipping coffee with my feet up. This is not that post. A few weeks ago, Codeminer42 challenged me to build a side project from scratch using only…
AI TIP: Plan Mode into PRD/ERD as Session Handoffs
Plan Heavy with Claude
by
Plan Heavy with Claude: Plan Mode, DDD, and PRD/ERD as Session Handoffs If you’ve used Claude Code on anything bigger than a weekend project, you’ve hit this wall: you’re three hours into a feature, specs are passing, and the session ends, usage limit and context compacted into something unrecognizable. You open a fresh session and…
How to configure Claude Code for any language
A short guide to giving Claude Code the tooling it needs (LSPs, MCPs, language skills, auto mode) so it can self-correct.

Kamal and 1Password: A Safer Deploy Secret Flow
Safer deploy-time secrets for any containerized app
by
The best part of Kamal is that it makes deployment feel smaller. Less ceremony, less platform overhead and less "let’s book infra time next week.” That is why secret handling deserves extra attention. When deploys get easier, it becomes tempting to keep a handful of values floating around in shell sessions, CI settings, or copied…
Opus 4.7 vs GLM 5.1: is mixing models worth it?
by
A couple of months ago, I compared Opus vs GLM by having both of them do a task for me. It’s not that surprising that Opus was best. But what if we get both cooperating? For optimization purposes: one planning, the other executing. I ran this comparison before, same plugin (cm-multilingual), three runs: Opus 4.7…

Stop Reading AI Code. Start Measuring It. (A Rails Playbook.)
by
So I was scrolling through Twitter the other day — half-reading, not really looking for anything — and this tweet from Uncle Bob caught my attention: My first reaction was: bullshit, you still have to read the code. Then I actually sat with it for a minute, and I realized I was lying to myself.…
