Introduction I spend a good amount of time in meetings, and over time I started using different tools around them.

Introduction mcp-wire is a small Go CLI that installs and configures MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers across multiple AI coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode — from a single interface.

Introduction logbasset, my open source CLI for querying Scalyr logs, was already built to be friendly to AI coding agents.

What is mb-cli?

Introduction If you’ve ever walked around a neighbourhood and stumbled upon a small wooden box full of books, you know the feeling: a mix of curiosity and warmth.

Introduction If you’ve been using AI coding agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex, you’ve probably noticed that each one has its own way of configuring MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

Introduction If you work with Claude Code regularly, you know how useful it can be to have multiple instances running on different machines.

Introduction When I use coding agents, I often need to retrieve details from a Sentry issue to provide context for diagnosing the root cause.

Introduction A few days ago, Anthropic released an update for Claude Code that adds an interesting feature: a new command named /statusline, which will create a script to fetch and show useful information in the app’s status bar and automatically add the…

Introduction At work, we use Scalyr to access our logs.

Introduction In the past few days Claude Code had some reliability issues and was sometimes unavailable.

Introduction Working with multiple branches in Python projects can be challenging, especially when you need to switch between different features, bug fixes, or versions while maintaining separate virtual environments and dependencies. git worktree provides

Introduction When working with Claude Code on macOS, you might find yourself waiting for long-running tasks to complete or missing important prompts for user input.

Following my previous post, today I wanted to see if I could replace my pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv usage with uv.

I heard about uv and Astral last year and as I previously mentioned in this blog post, I did (and still have) have some concerns about them.

After having thought about this for a while, I finally decided to start sponsoring some of the open source projects I regularly use.

Inspired by this post from Nicola Iarocci, I decided to check my own bash zsh history: 1082 git 99 cd 95 nox 38 pip 37 ls 33 pytest 29 brew 26 code 19 curl 16 pyenv Even for me, my biggest usage of the terminal is because of git 😅 You can produce your own…

I’ve always wanted a dog (actually… my family had one ~30 years ago, but since I wasn’t directly involved with him, I never felt him as my own).

I recently found out (thanks to this article from Juha-Matti Santala) that not only you can power a RaspberryPi device through the USB-C of an iPad but that you can also get an ethernet connection through it Requirements an USB-C iPad (I used an iPad Air…

This is my user manual.

If you work in software development, chances are high that your company is using open source software to build their products.

If you are using Tailscale in some of your devices, you also need to use Tailscale own DNS server to resolve the names of the devices in the network.

If you have ever used a flight tracking app like Flightradar24 or FlightAware you might have wondered how they get the data about the airplanes in real time.

I recently started using Umami (a privacy first, GDPR compliant solution) for this website analytics but I immediately found out that their free plan was not enough for my needs (10k page views per month).

Recently I was planning to self host a service I’m using and I was immediately stuck on a decision: should I just buy a Raspberry Pi 5 or rent a VPS?

This morning I randomly found this post from Miguel Grinberg: It’s Time For A Change: datetime.utcnow() Is Now Deprecated.
