How I Got 1,600 Weekly npm Downloads with MCP Tools

In January 2025, I published a package called Agent Toolbelt to npm. It's an MCP server — a collection of developer utility tools that Claude can use. UUID generation, base64 encoding, JSON formatting, timestamp conversion. Nothing groundbreaking. The kind of tools every developer reaches for daily. Within weeks, it was getting over 1,600 weekly downloads. npx agent-toolbelt One command....

Certificates celebrate the win. Badges celebrate the grind.

When I first started learning development, I saw badges as something minor, just a small icon or a checkbox after finishing a course. Today, I see them completely differently. A badge is not decoration. It’s evidence. Evidence that you showed up when you didn’t feel like it. That you finished something you could’ve abandoned halfway. That you chose to move forward, even if just one small step a...

From Fly.io to On-Premise Kubernetes

Everything works in localhost. Exposing it to the internet is a different problem. I went through Fly.io, Linode managed Kubernetes, and eventually landed on an on-premise cluster. Each step had tradeoffs in both cost and operational complexity. Containers and Kubernetes Before getting into the details, here is the short explanation. A container is a lightweight, isolated unit that pa...

Comment une facture de 37€/jour m'a forcée à repenser toute mon infra OpenClaw

Lundi 7 avril au matin, j'ouvre mon dashboard Anthropic et je vois 37€ déjà consommés. Pas sur deux semaines. Sur deux jours de week-end. Je n'avais lancé aucune session manuelle. C'est le genre de chiffre qui te force à t'asseoir et à comprendre ce qui s'est passé — vraiment, pas en diagonale. Ce qui s'est passé Le vendredi 4 avril à 21h, Anthropic a envoyé un email : les applica...

The deal connects over 1 billion mobile wallets across 43 African markets to Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets, bypassing traditional banks entirely.

Every directory is a table. Writes are transactions. Multiple processes and machines can read and write concurrently with full ACID guarantees. There are two distinct ways to use it. # Install (Linux requires fuse3; m...

I Built an AI Agent That Routes Our Inbound Requests. Here's How It Works

Every B2B company I know has the same inbox problem. Someone fills out a contact form, sends an email, or reaches out on LinkedIn. That message lands in a shared inbox. Then it sits there. Someone reads it eventually, tries to figure out what it's about, who should handle it, and forwards it to the right person. Sometimes that takes an hour. Sometimes a day. Sometimes the message just gets buried ...

Can not add class to $(this) element

We have a list of dates as `<label>` elements. A selected date has a class to highlight it. Clicking on another date should highlight that date, only. We can not get this to work in the context of `$(this)` designating the clicked on element. What's wrong with this? $('#monthLeft > label').click(function() { var dateOut = $(this).data('date'); $.post("/script", ...

Fragments: April 9

I mostly link to written material here, but I’ve recently listened to two excellent podcasts that I can recommend. Anyone who regularly reads these fragments knows that I’m a big fan of Simon Willison, his (also very fragmentary) posts have earned a regular spot in my RSS reader. But the problem with fragments, however valuable, is that they don’t provide a cohesive overview of the situation. So ...
