In Q3 2024, our 12-person platform team slashed log ingestion spend by 35% in 90 days, moving from a brittle Elasticsearch-based pipeline to a tuned Vector 0.30 and Loki 3.0 stack—without losing a single log or breaking our 99.95% SLA.

A common problem with a familiar shape: a process can dial outbound to the internet, but nothing on the internet can dial it back. Your dev server on a laptop. A service in a private VPC. A homelab app behind your router. A container in a pod with no ingress. Same shape every time — outbound works, inbound doesn't. rift is a small Go binary I built to solve that. Run it as a server on a VPS you ow
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.

The software we were developing, depended on a production grade license of Gurobi. People were on vacations except of my team and some unrelated staff, so developing the feature was in principle blocked. As I learnt due to some other situations, research
Claude Code is powerful. Without structure around it, every session starts cold, plans live in chat history, and the spec you cared about is buried in a thread you will never re-read. I built Arness because I got tired of two things at once: the ad-hoc-prompting ceiling, and the ceremony every framework adds when it tries to fix it. It is an open-source Claude Code plugin marketplace, and you driv
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on lately. The premise is simple: every time we share a photo or a document, we inadvertently leak a massive amount of personal data — from home GPS coordinates to camera serial numbers and even the edit history of a PDF. Using "online privacy services" to clean your files always felt like a paradox to me (sending private data to a s
