Driving DaVinci Resolve's Free Edition with Claude, From Inside the App

The wall Every MCP server that controls DaVinci Resolve connects to it the same way: a script running outside the app calls into Resolve's scripting API over the network. That works fine on Resolve Studio. On the free edition it doesn't work at all — Lite is sandboxed and blocks any script that isn't launched from inside Resolve itself. The one door left open Free Resolve still runs Python script...

THE SMALLEST FIX WITH THE BIGGEST IMPACT [SKIPS VS TECHNOLOGY EDITION]

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry. Remember that one Regular Show episode where Skips tried to destroy the park's computer because it caught the Error 220 bug? He took one look at it, picked up a sledgehammer and said the line we’ve all felt as devs: “ There’s something evil in that computer. We gotta smash it”. In the cartoon, they literally smash t...

AI-Generated Code Vulnerability Exploited by Autonomous Agent in Snowflake

Two AI agents just fought over a Snowflake PR. You should read about it. In five days, two AI agents turned a Snowflake connector repo into a live demo of machine-vs-machine offense. On June 18, 2026, GitHub Copilot Autofix co-authored a commit that quietly dropped input sanitization from a shell-based run block. On June 23, an autonomous AI security agent — running an offensive scan — ...

I built an MCP memory server for one user (me, for six weeks)

Building in public You explain your deploy setup to your assistant. It helps. Tomorrow you explain the same setup again. And the day after. You are not training it. You are re-typing. The tool nobody asked for I did not set out to build a product. I set out to stop repeating myself. My setup is four servers with names that mean nothing to anyone else, a tunnel with a numbering scheme...

Understanding PHP-FPM's process manager (by actually watching it)

I thought I understood pm = dynamic until I sat down and watched it work in real time. Turns out the whole process manager is one tiny loop, and once you see it, every number in fpm-status suddenly makes sense. This is what I learned, with real outputs from a real server. The config pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 300 ; hard ceiling on total workers pm.start_servers = 5 ...

Why Your Robot Performance Is Unstable: The Hidden Power Problems Engineers Often Miss

Introduction: Your Robot Is Not Always Failing Because of Software Your robot works perfectly on your desk. The motors spin. The sensors respond. The control algorithm runs smoothly. Then you put it on the ground, and suddenly: The robot randomly restarts. Motors stop during acceleration. Sensors return incorrect data. Wireless communication disconnects.

Solving Gradle metadata and Renovate integration

My current company has settled on using Gradle. It doesn't make me very happy, but you need to learn to work with constraints. Plus, I must admit that the developers who actually implemented the build files did a pretty good job overall: they used Kotlin instead of Groovy, they moved code to regular plugins, etc. This week, I worked on improvements to a new project and set up Renovate. Renovate i...

Never commit with the wrong Git identity again

If you have more than one GitHub account — and at this point, who doesn't — you've probably pushed a commit with the wrong email at least once. Maybe it was a personal project that went out under your work email. Maybe it was the other way around. Either way, Git didn't warn you, GitHub didn't warn you, and you found out when you looked at the commit history and saw someone who isn't quite you tak...

Octomind 0.44.2: I Removed the Agent's Ability to Grade Its Own Homework

The Lie That Bugged Me I was building a feature last month when Octomind told me it was done. Five files needed editing based on the task I gave it. I checked – three were changed, two were untouched. The agent had marked the task complete anyway. Worse, I caught it verifying its own work by reading back the edit it just made and essentially admiring it. The model was saying "the code ...

The Cows Don't Send Alerts

My neighbor spent yesterday morning clearing a patch of maquis with a bulldozer. I watched him from the fence for a while, coffee in hand, contributing nothing. Then I walked down to check that the cows had water, because it's August in Corsica and that is the one job on this farm that cannot wait until later. The rest of the year I do engineering at GoodBarber, a mobile app platform. This month,...

Local RAG starts with retrieval, not infrastructure

RAG projects have a way of collecting infrastructure before they collect evidence. A database gets provisioned. A vector store appears. Then Redis, object storage, a parser service, a queue worker, and a few dashboards. By the time the first PDF is imported, there are enough moving parts that a bad search result can mean almost anything. Was the parser wrong? Did chunking lose the useful context...

40 Malicious Firefox Extensions Pose as Web3 Products to Steal Wallet Secrets

A set of 40 Mozilla Firefox extensions has been found to engage in cryptocurrency wallet theft by masquerading as OKX, Rabby Wallet, TronLink, and other Web3 products. According to the Socket Threat Research team, the extensions are part of a broader set of 77 browser add-ons that share source code and infrastructure overlaps. The campaign, dubbed Offside Wallet Theft Factory, is believed to

Scaling RAG Systems: Production Architecture, Performance, and Cost Optimization

The first three parts of this series covered why production RAG systems fail and how the quality of the data foundation directly affects everything that comes after it. We looked at document ingestion, parsing, chunking, and metadata design—the layers responsible for turning raw information into something a retrieval system can actually work with. Then we moved into retrieval itself. We saw why v...

What 32 leaked brand names taught me about auditing affiliate templates

I was comparing crypto trading terminals and did what I usually do first: curl the top-ranking page and read the HTML instead of the rendering. The site ranks first for its target keyword. Twelve pages, server-rendered, sub-second response, clean markup. And when I grepped the raw HTML for the competitor's brand name, it appeared thirty-two times across eight of the twelve pages. The au...

How Spamhaus blocklisted my SMTP verifier — a server that never sent an email

In short: I'm building an email verification service that works via live SMTP probing.

What follows is an investigation with a wrong hypothesis, a humbling config discovery, a bureaucratic ticket rejection, and an unexpectedly happy ending. With lessons...
