We're all learning how to ship more side projects. If you're "in the bubble" it can feel like everyone is repo-maxxing. Shipping weekly. Spinning up agents to scaffold full apps overnight. New OSS dropped every Friday. The reality I see with most developers is much more normal: They have six or seven repos sitting in various states of half-attention. A side project from last year that still gets a

In the fast-paced world of continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), managing sensitive information like API keys, tokens, and credentials—collectively known as secrets—is not just a best practice; it's a critical foundation for security and efficiency. GitHub Actions provides a robust framework for automating workflows, but a common friction point for many development teams, particularly tho
The Challenge of Scalable Secrets Management in GitHub Actions For development teams scaling beyond a handful of repositories, managing environment-specific variables and secrets in GitHub Actions can quickly become a significant bottleneck. The manual duplication of configurations across multiple repos, especially when dealing with distinct environments like development, staging, and production

Background A nasty surprise Last summer while trying to deliver a feature for one of our customers, I encountered a nasty situation. The software we were developing, depended on a production grade license of Gurobi. People were on vacations except of my team and some unrelated staff, so developing the feature was in principle blocked. As I learnt due to some other situations, research
Claude Code is powerful. Without structure around it, every session starts cold, plans live in chat history, and the spec you cared about is buried in a thread you will never re-read. I built Arness because I got tired of two things at once: the ad-hoc-prompting ceiling, and the ceremony every framework adds when it tries to fix it. It is an open-source Claude Code plugin marketplace, and you driv
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on lately. The premise is simple: every time we share a photo or a document, we inadvertently leak a massive amount of personal data — from home GPS coordinates to camera serial numbers and even the edit history of a PDF. Using "online privacy services" to clean your files always felt like a paradox to me (sending private data to a s
