Agentic Coding Is Not a Trap: I Answered the Viral HN Post With My Own Production Logs I made the exact mistake that viral post criticizes: I gave an agent an ambiguous task and went to make coffee. Came back 40 minutes later to 23 modified files, three broken tests, and a refactor nobody asked for. I'm not telling this to complain — I'm telling it because that day I started keeping logs of my a
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

DeepClaude: I Combined Claude Code with DeepSeek V4 Pro in My Agent Loop and the Numbers Threw Me Off DeepSeek V4 Pro correctly solves 94% of deep reasoning tasks in my loop… but the latency cost makes it unusable for 60% of my agent cases. Yeah, you read that right. And that completely blows up the narrative of "combining models is always better." Tuesday night I watched the DeepClaude post cli
SQL is widely known for data querying and manipulation but systems do grow; data becomes larger; processes become repetitive and operations become sensitive. SQL has some features which enables it to be considered a fully fledged programming language. Some of the features which I discuss in this article are procedures, functions and transactions. Each of these concepts serve distinct purposes. Sto
Hi 👋, In this post we shall explore Bedrock's structured KB with this architecture: Upload CSVs to S3 > SNS Queue > Crawl data with Glue > Query with Redshift > Bedrock KB > Query with LLM. Let's do some of this with code. Let's get started. Clone the repo and switch to the project directory. git clone [email protected]:networkandcode/networkandcode.github.io.git cd structured-kb-demo/ Do a uv sync
Specsmaxxing: I Wrote YAML Specs for My AI Agents — Here's What Changed (and What Didn't) A YAML spec for an AI agent is basically the blueprint you leave for the contractor when you can't be on-site. If the blueprint is solid, they build exactly what you want. If there's one ambiguous detail — "wall at the back" with no measurements — they make a call, and when you show up, the wall is in the w
Barman Replacing pgbackrest: I Migrated My Postgres Backups in Production and Here's What I Found The weekend I migrated from Vercel to Railway — the same one I mentioned when I talked about cold starts — I spent nearly twelve hours reading Postgres logs I'd never had to read that seriously before. It wasn't a tutorial. It was real production, real data, and the underlying question was always th
