We had ArgoCD running perfectly. Every deployment was reconciled from Git. Drift detection worked. Rollbacks were one-click. Our GitOps setup was clean. Developers still couldn't provision a staging environment without pinging the platform team. That gap — between "GitOps in place" and "developers can actually self-serve" — is where most platform engineering teams get stuck. GitOps solves a real p
The problem: too many clients, too few discovery hooks We expose Supabase Edge Functions as MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. The clients that hit them are heterogeneous — Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code Continue, a couple of in-house browser extensions. None of them ship with a hard-coded "use WorkOS AuthKit, scope is tool:ai_chat, audience must contain urn:jibun:tool:<tool>" rec
Anthropic now ships at least three different memory models inside the Claude product family, and they don't behave the same way. Claude.ai has a chat memory feature for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users that summarizes prior conversations and injects that summary into new chats. Claude Code has CLAUDE.md files plus a separate "auto memory" directory the model writes to itself, both loaded at se
A Fully Native, Dependency‑Free Web5 Case Study TL;DR: This case study demonstrates how the Ascoos OS Kernel 1.0.0 performs OAuth2 authentication, event‑driven processing, torrent file creation, and secure P2P upload using raw sockets — all without frameworks, external libraries, or middleware. 🔗 Full source code: https://github.com/ascoos/oauth2-torrent-upload Modern decentralized systems
Part 2 of 5 in The New Engineering Contract - what it means to lead engineers when AI is doing more of the coding. Stripe never skipped the boring stuff. They ship 1,300 AI PRs a week. Amazon skipped it. Their storefront went down for six hours. Kent Beck wrote the answer in Extreme Programming Explained in 1999. We read it. Then chose velocity anyway. A friend of mine leads engineering at a funde
