Find a beginner-friendly issue. Fork the repo. Set up the dev environment. Read through the codebase. Start working. Then check the issue again and see a comment from 2 days ago: "Hey I'm working on this, should have a PR up soon." Two hours wasted. Every single time. The weird part? Almost every existing tool for finding open source issues - goodfirstissue.dev, up-for-grabs.net, codetriage - rely
Updated May 2026: Now covers virtual desktop (Spaces) restoration and iCloud sync across multiple Macs, both shipped in ShiftPlus 1.3. TL;DR A complete macOS workspace includes apps, window layouts, browser profiles, virtual desktops, and terminal state. Native macOS saves almost none of it. Most third-party tools cover one slice: Stay and Spencer handle window layouts, Shift handles browser profi
In July 2025, a developer's Claude Code instance hit a recursion loop and burned through 1.67 billion tokens in 5 hours, generating an estimated $16,000 to $50,000 in API charges before anyone noticed. The agent did not crash. It did not throw an error. It just kept calling tools, getting confused, calling more tools, and silently accumulating cost. Old software crashes. LLM agents spend. This is
You're in another app and there's a timer counting down at the top of your phone. You lock the screen and the same timer is sitting there. You swipe down to the Notification Center and it's there too, still ticking. It looks like a notification, but a notification can't tick. That's a Live Activity. It looks like three different surfaces (Dynamic Island, lock-screen banner, Notification Center ent
I finished an English series on the way I think ordinary people can start using AI for real work. The point is not to become an AI expert first. The point is to have one place where you can say what you want, give the tool access to the right folder, and check the result. Anything important still needs a human pause: publishing, deleting, paying, or authorizing. My preferred starting point is simp
Introduction "All hands on deck for the future of AI-driven development." This is the NO.56 article in the "One Open Source Project a Day" series. Today, we are exploring OpenHands (formerly known as OpenDevin). While projects like RuFlo focus on backend orchestration and cmux on terminal visualization, OpenHands is currently the closest open-source equivalent to a "final form" AI software engi
sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range": Permission denied I saw this error while trying to tune the network stack for a high-concurrency service running in Docker, which itself was hosted inside an unprivileged LXC container on Proxmox. The weird part? I was root inside the container. I expected that since I had already enabled nesting=1 and keyctl=1 in the LXC configuration, Docker wo
