Rebuilding the Deprecated PostgreSQL MCP Server in Rust: Safe by Default

A deprecated server with 475,790 downloads a month @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres last shipped a version on 4 December 2024. It is marked deprecated on npm — the registry itself tells you the package is no longer supported. In the thirty days to 9 August 2026 it was downloaded 475,790 times. That gap is the whole story. This is the piece of software standing between an LLM agent...

Test the second access path before you call a metric unreadable

I keep a list of surfaces whose numbers I could not read, with a short reason written next to each one. Discourse gives you nothing per post. The comments API has no reaction field. Once a line like that is written down it stops looking like a hypothesis, and nothing in my process ever reopened one. This week I re-probed four of them and three turned out to be readable. Discourse was the embarra...

Solution to Challenge 3 - Visual Testing with API Mocking

Challenge #3 is done — here's my solution to Challenge 3: Visual Testing with API Mocking I'm not a big fan of mock APIs for end-to-end tests, but when testing a dashboard with daily API changes, you need to ensure the charts are displayed correctly. One time, after some charts, one chart wasn't displayed. In another Google Maps integration, with some changes, one button overlaps another button, ...

How we fixed forced dark mode breaking on 98.4% of web layouts without corrupting image colors

Forcing dark mode across every website sounds convenient, but brute-force CSS color inversion causes inverted photos, unreadable text contrast, and invisible SVG icons on over 35% of custom web UI components. Here is the 80% solution for making dark mode work reliably across complex web layouts without breaking user experience: System Preference Sync with CSS Variables Instead of hardcoding dark ...

Microsoft Fabric Now Encrypts Spark Temporary Data with Customer-Managed Keys;What It Actually Means

Microsoft Fabric has extended customer-managed key (CMK) encryption to cover temporary data generated during Spark job execution. This is not a minor security patch. It closes a significant compliance gap that has prevented regulated industries from adopting cloud analytics platforms. This article explains what was protected before, what is protected now, and why the distinction matters for organ...

Cutting Chai — the comfort food that isn't food, drawn in CSS

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition, CSS Art: Comfort Food What I Built A kulhad of masala chai, steaming, on a wooden table.

I Added ML Anamoly Detection to My Cybersecurity Tool - Here's What the Numbers Actually Showed

A few weeks ago, I built Log Sentinel, a log analysis dashboard that detects brute force attacks, directory scanning, and error spikes in Apache server logs using rule-based detectors. The rules worked well, but I kept wondering: what would a machine learning model catch that my rules missed? And more importantly, would ML actually be better? I spent two weeks adding an Isolation Forest model to ...

Midnight Fridge Raid — comfort food isn't a dish, it's 2am

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Comfort Food Edition, CSS Art. Inspiration The brief lists a steaming bowl of ramen, a stack of pancakes, a perfectly cut slice of pie — and then, quietly, "or the dish you grew up eating." That last one is the real prompt. Comfort food isn't a recipe. It's a moment, and the most honest one I could think of isn't a plate at all: it's stand...

Drift Detection Was Never the Hard Part — Here's What Production Teams Actually Need Next

When I started building tfdrift, the problem seemed simple: terraform plan tells you what changed, but not how much you should care. Severity classification solved that — and it's been the core of tfdrift since v0.1. But shipping severity classification to real teams surfaced a different set of questions. Not "is this drift dangerous," but: Who suppressed this alert, and why? Is this week's dri...
