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. The commonly documented issues (no persistent background pages, limited webRequest) are real.
Something shifted in the last ninety days. While the headlines talk about 1.9% tech growth, those of us in the trenches are seeing a different reality: The floor has been hit. We are no longer in the "automation at all costs" era. We have entered the era of Human-Led Resilience. The Reality of 27-Second Breakouts In my day job in public safety communications, "uptime" isn't a KPI; it's a lif
The Autonomous Paradox In 2026, we’ve moved past simple chatbots. We are building Production-Grade RAG pipelines and autonomous agents that can plan, execute, and iterate. But as an architect, I’ve noticed a glaring hole in our "Agentic" future: Identity Sprawl. We are giving agents non-human identities (NHI) with "Full Admin" permissions just to ensure the RAG works smoothly. We are effectively
Introduction It's Black Friday. In the space of a single second, your e-commerce platform processes 4,000 orders, updates inventory counts, triggers fulfillment workflows, and debits customer accounts. Every one of those operations lands in your OLTP database, fast, atomic, precise. None of it, in that same second, tells you that customers are abandoning their carts at three times the normal rat
The math isn't complicated. It's just that nobody runs it until they get the bill. An AI agent handling a 10-turn workflow — reading files, calling tools, revising output — doesn't cost 10x a single query. Because transformer inference processes the entire context on every call, cost compounds with each additional turn. The tenth turn carries everything that preceded it: the original file reads, e
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
