Still tweaking coding agents to fit my workflow.

Tried two tools for Spec-Driven Development on my pet project — delta-farmer (51 files, 12k lines of code).

Another year is coming to an end, and following my new tradition, I would like to sum up some results in writing.

I have a hobby project – ecloop – a Bitcoin key "calculator" designed to find Bitcoin puzzles, verify brain wallets, and so on.

For many years, I used iTerm2 as my main terminal emulator and probably spent hundreds of hours in it.

I have never written an annual report on my work before, but since I also spend time on open source projects, I decided to write one (maybe it will become a tradition).

OGP (Open Graph Protocol) is an HTML meta-tags specification for websites to make links look nice in third-party services such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn or chat apps.

Cloud solutions are good for medium and large projects, but too heavy for small personal projects.

All resources in AWS work inside private VPC.

Rust allows programs to run very fast and memory efficient, but it has a cost – compile time.

OpenAPI / Swagger is a good way to describe API contracts between backend / frontend or different services.

I recently tried HTMX for my new project – ghstats – a dashboard of Github repository traffic in a single interface for longer than 14 days.

In this post, I’m going to talk about how macmon works, specifically where it gets system metrics.

When MacBook moved to ARM architecture (M1 processor), old system APIs stopped working and with them existing monitoring tools.

In this article I will show the way how to deploy AWS Lambda using Terraform, with support for code updates in a single workflow.

This short guide will describe how to create an AWS ECS Cluster on EC2 in 2023.

Twitter is a great place to gather data and assess various trends.

React-use-form is a powerful library that simplifies form handling in React applications.

A little trick in TypeScript to make it easier to work with date strings in the API.

Useful trick when you have many of the same services in the docker-compose.yml file.

When you develop or maintain many projects or use a microservice architecture, over time you have a zoo of different programming languages and their versions on your computer.

TL;DR # get all cat /proc/1/environ | tr '\0' '\n' # get by name cat /proc/1/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ABC Details When you develop services, sometimes you need to know what environment variables a process in a container is running with.

TypeScript is a great language for writing applications with type safety checks.

Sometimes there is no good internet connection, but you can still work at your laptop (merge PR, etc).

Starting in February 2022, Docker Desktop became a paid service for large teams.
