Blog

A fourteen-part series building a production-shaped RESTful API in Rust with Axum, Docker, and PostgreSQL, using a Pokemon API as the running example.

Revisiting the JSON-LD I added to this site two years ago, finding two real bugs hiding in it, and moving to a slot-based pattern inspired by Stephen Lunt's Astro structured data post.

After years of tmux and a recent stretch running Zellij, I replaced both with Herdr, a background runtime built around keeping AI coding agents alive across reboots. Here is why I switched and how I configured it.

I used Impeccable, a design skill for Claude Code, to document this blog's actual design system and then critique it against its own rules. Here is what it caught, from a shadow rule three components were quietly breaking to a blog index rendering ten H1 tags on one page.

A few months ago I hand-rolled a copy-to-clipboard button for my code blocks. This summer I threw it away and let astro-expressive-code do that job and the ones I never got around to. Here is what the swap looked like.

A while back I added ESLint and Prettier to this blog. This year I pulled both out and replaced them with Biome, a single Rust-based tool that formats and lints in one pass. Here is why, and what the switch actually looked like.

How I wired this Astro blog up to standard.site, the AT Protocol lexicon for long-form publishing, with a well-known file, a single head tag, and a sync script that does the boring work.

The XTEINK X4 is a $69 credit-card-sized e-reader whose factory software does not deserve the hardware. Here is the ten-minute fix and what we learned living with it for a few weeks.

diffai is a terminal diff viewer with inline commenting, built specifically for the two-pane workflow of reviewing code changes alongside Claude Code.

A walkthrough of kairgos, a Go SaaS skeleton with multi-tenancy, async AI inference, JWT rotation, and a background worker — built before a single business feature ships.
