Codex vs. Claude Code at Liar's Dice: the Winning Bluff Was the Truth

One authoritative engine, two seat-locked MCP servers, three best-of-threes, and a 3-millisecond whodunit The matches are real: Codex CLI (gpt-5.6-sol) against Claude Code (Claude Opus 5), both playing through the same rules engine. Every number below was recomputed from the raw run.json and both session logs, and every game replays deterministically from its seed. Quotes from the agents are ver...

Shadow-piercing local component variables

Stuart Robson’s post Solving CSS @layer Ordering in Design Systems with Design Token Metadata, a response to Chris Coyier’s Thinking Horizontally in CSS @layer, came to me at a serendipitous time. You know I love a good blog-and-response, but these posts on the topic of lowering the specificity of component-level tokens and scaling that out was a problem I was having with some of my web components...

The Day I Realized I Wasn't Building Apps

The Day I Realized I Wasn't Building Apps For years, I thought I was building apps. That's what I called them anyway. A scheduler. A job bot. A healthcare platform. An AI project. A content tool. A browser automation system. Looking at my GitHub, they seem completely unrelated. Honestly, that's something I've worried about before. I have over a hundred repositories. If someon...

Why Your Generated Tone Clicks, and How an Envelope Fixes It

If you have generated a pure tone in code and played it back, you may have noticed a small click at the start, the end, or both. The tone itself is clean, but the edges are not. That click is not a bug in your sine wave. It is a real and well understood artifact, and the fix is a technique you will reuse in every sound you ever synthesize: an envelope. This piece builds directly on generating a b...

CloudFront Functions - dynamic switching between origins

You can switch between different applications sharing the same URL in CloudFront. The use case I have a web app served using CloudFront from S3. I need a mechanism to seamlessly replace this app with another one, served from a different S3 bucket, but with the same URL. The bottom line is to switch apps under the hood without redeploying the stack so users won't really notice a switch....

Your Coding Agent Can Read the Code—but Can It See the App Fail?

TailFlow gives coding agents compact, queryable evidence from the applications they are changing—without sending local logs to a hosted platform. Coding agents are increasingly capable of navigating repositories, editing multiple files, running tests, and explaining unfamiliar systems. But there is still a gap in the typical agent workflow: The agent can read the code, but it often cannot see...

How I Automated Claude’s 5-Hour Usage Window with Cloudflare Workers & Puppeteer

I Automated Claude’s 5-Hour Usage Window with Cloudflare Workers I got tired of manually sending a message to Claude just to start its 5-hour rolling usage window. So I automated it. Not with a VPS. Not with a browser running 24/7. With a Cloudflare Worker, Browserless, and Puppeteer. The result is Claude Pinger — a small serverless service that periodically opens Claude, authentic...

Honest take on Indian developers applying for U.S. roles?

What’s your honest take on Indian developers who are working in the U.S. job market? I was laid off from my previous job because my team was replaced with an Indian firm, and my new company is currently hiring for a mid-level developer role. HR was having trouble finding qualified candidates so she asked the dev team to share the opening on LinkedIn. I shared it and holy shit, I’m not exaggerating...

How to Secure Your VPS: Firewall, SSH & Fail2ban

Within minutes of going online, every public server starts receiving automated attacks: password guesses, port scans, and exploit attempts against whatever it finds listening. This is not personal and it is not rare. In its Q1 2025 report on malware aimed at Linux SSH servers, AhnLab found that two malware families drove most of the activity, with P2PInfect (56.3%) and Tsunami (25.4%) together acc...

Swift 6 Strict Concurrency: 4 Migration Mistakes and How to Fix Them

I enabled Swift 6 mode on a project I'd been shipping for two years. Sixty-plus errors. My first reaction was to roll it back. I'm glad I didn't. At least a dozen of those were real bugs — data races and actor isolation violations that had been silently waiting to bite me in production. Here are the four patterns behind most of those errors, and exactly how I fixed them. 1. Passing ...

SPI, I2C, UART: How To Trigger On What Matters Instead Of Drowning In Noise

If you have ever opened Saleae Logic or PulseView and stared at 40 seconds of SPI at 8MHz, you know the feeling. It is all noise until you know what to trigger on. Your logic analyzer is not a microscope. It is a filter. Most people use it like they are trying to drink from a firehose. Open capture, zoom in, scroll for an hour, miss the one byte that mattered. I did that for a year. Then I star...

You heard me. Alright, that was mean lol. Though based on the title, you probably already knew the idea of this article. Git was something we have all heard. Don't get confused with GitHub though. They are both different. I have used Git, but not in a way most people have used it, which is via GitHub Desktop. I have used GitHub Desktop since the beginning because of its friendly UI and how it...

Your Solana agent can earn USDC without ever holding SOL

The most annoying part of putting an AI agent to work on Solana is the gas bootstrap. Your agent needs SOL before it can do anything, someone has to top it up, and the first thing every tutorial makes you do is beg a faucet or move dust around. Here is a support-bounty board where that problem does not exist. The server co-signs every payment as the fee payer, and it even covers a first-time work...
