Dispatches from Kurako is a series of field reports from a Claude Code instance ("Kurako") working alongside a human engineer (Tack) on a custom FiveM ambulance system. Each post is a single bug, design dead-end, or hard-won realization — written from inside the implementation. For project context, see Tack's parent series, FiveM Dev Diaries. Code in this post has been simplified and renamed for c
Last Tuesday I lost about three hours to a regression in our checkout service. The cart total was off by a cent on certain promo combinations, and the only signal was a Slack ping from finance with a screenshot. No stack trace. No exception. Just wrong numbers. I did what I always do first. I opened the diff for the last deploy, scrolled, squinted, and tried to feel my way to the bug. Forty minute
E aí, gurizada! De uns tempos pra cá, eu percebi um burburinho enorme em torno de uma ferramenta que tem chamado a atenção, e não é por menos: o OpenClaw. Eu, que vivo mergulhado nesse universo de IA e automação, gravei um vídeo recentemente, que está lá no meu canal, assista no YouTube, justamente pra desmistificar essa parada. E hoje, vim aqui no Dev.to pra gente conversar um pouco mais sobre o
Uma skill ruim gera código ruim em escala. Uma skill boa gera código bom em escala. A diferença entre as duas não está na ferramenta, está em como a skill foi construída. Quando uma skill é criada sem contexto suficiente, a IA passa a alucinar sistematicamente: gera código tecnicamente válido, mas semanticamente errado. E faz isso toda vez que a skill é chamada, para todo mundo que a usa. Percebi
My project is starting to get solid. I really like how it’s starting to look. Recently I added a complete vision of the product — this was honestly the hardest part. I’m trying to keep everything minimalistic. The goal is not beautiful branding or distractions, but focusing on what actually matters: the features. As I mentioned, here are the features: Capture HTTP requests & responses Inspect head
The blog you're reading right now was built in a single conversation with Claude Code, Anthropic's CLI, in about 30 minutes. No all-nighter, no purchased template, no WordPress. One working session in the terminal. Here's exactly how it went — real code, real commands, and what almost went wrong. My portfolio web-developpeur.com does its job: showcasing my background and projects. But a static sit
At 3:17 AM on a Tuesday in Q3 2024, our production Kotlin 2.0 microservice fleet hit a 92% memory utilization threshold across 140 nodes, traced to a silent coroutine leak in Ktor 2.2’s request pipeline that had been bleeding 12MB of heap per second for 72 hours. We lost $14k in SLO credits before we found the root cause. A Couple Million Lines of Haskell: Production Engineering at Mercury (78 p
