When you automate backups, you eventually discover the backup was not the hard part. The hard part was everything around it. This week I got a nice little reminder from my self-hosted agent setup: the backup job can be logically correct, authenticated, scheduled, and still fail because of two very boring constraints: Docker-owned files are not always readable by the user running cron. GitHub Relea
Cuando una aplicación necesita leer un archivo, escribir en una conexión TCP o esperar datos de un disco, el kernel de Linux ofrece tradicionalmente dos caminos: bloquear el proceso hasta que la operación termine, o usar interfaces como epoll y Linux AIO para manejar múltiples operaciones concurrentes. Durante casi tres décadas, esas fueron las opciones dominantes. Pero desde la versión 5.1 del ke
When Google announced the Manifest V3 deadline, the developer community had a lot to say — most of it negative. The service worker model was rightly criticized as a regression for ad blockers and complex extensions. I've now migrated 18 extensions from MV2 to MV3, or built them MV3-native from the start.

Most agency onboarding fails before the kickoff call happens. Not because the team isn't good. Not because the client is difficult. Because nobody collected the right context upfront, and the kickoff call becomes the place where everyone discovers what they don't know yet. The intake form is the fix. Not a 3-question "tell us about your project" form. A real one. Here's the framework we use — 27 q
PostgreSQL Query Rewriting Techniques The previous articles in this series covered performance problems you fix by adding indexes, restructuring joins, or tuning memory. This one is about the queries where the plan is "fine" — every node is doing something reasonable — but the query itself is asking the wrong question, producing unnecessarily large intermediate results or forcing the planner dow

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
