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
Gaming laptops with dual GPUs are common, and they are a pain on Linux. I run an ASUS Zephyrus G15 with an AMD integrated GPU and an NVIDIA discrete GPU. Before I fixed the setup, I dealt with broken resume from suspend, terrible battery life, overheating, and games that ran worse than they should. This is a practical guide for setting up dual GPU systems in Hyprland. Most of it applies to other W
External GPU (eGPU) + NVIDIA Drivers on Linux: Solving the Display Manager Initialization Problem TL;DR: If your NVIDIA eGPU works in recovery mode but gives a black screen on normal boot, you're missing one critical Xorg option: AllowExternalGpus. This guide shows how to fix it properly on any X11-based Linux distribution. Installing NVIDIA drivers on a Linux system with an external GPU (eGPU)
I Built a VS Code Extension to Bring IntelliJ’s “Show History for Selection” Experience If you come from IntelliJ, you probably miss one super useful feature in VS Code: Show history for selected lines.

Microsoft's 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' Tag: Unpacking the Strategic Play for AI Dominance in VS Code The persistent insertion of 'Co-Authored-by: Copilot' into commit messages within VS Code—often irrespective of GitHub Copilot's active contribution to specific changes—is far from a benign engineering detail. It represents a calculated, multi-faceted strategic maneuver by Microsoft, signaling a pr
I have a bad habit of jumping between projects. It's not a big deal. But it happens every single day. So I built rewind. rewind That's it. No setup, no IDE, no agent loop burning through tokens. Just one binary, one command, one LLM call. cargo install git-rewind GitHub: https://github.com/Chronos778/git-rewind Would love feedback — on the idea, the UX, anything. Still early days.
If you use GitHub's merge queue and had a rough week around April 23rd, 2026, you were not imagining things. Your code actually disappeared. Not because of a bad commit, not because of a rogue team member, but because GitHub itself quietly deleted it. This is the story of what happened, why it was way worse than the official numbers suggest, and what it means for the way we all trust the tools we
