8+ min ago   (1363+ words) AI coding agents now run for a long time. A single task can take hours: a refactor, a full test run, a migration. The question is no longer whether the model can finish the work, but where that work should…...

16+ min ago   (1075+ words) Have you ever wondered if an AI agent could run an A/B test all by itself? In this post, we will build one together. We will go slowly, one file at a time, so you can follow along even…...

34+ min ago   (1494+ words) Imagine you have finished building a Node.js backend. Everything works on your laptop, and you are ready to deploy it. Traditionally, you might connect to a server, pull the latest code, install dependencies, restart the application, and hope nothing…...

55+ min ago   (358+ words) AWS released Strands Box, an open source sandbox for AI agents that pairs operating-system isolation with rules that can weigh what an agent has already done before letting it act again. Box is in developer preview and runs on Macs…...

3+ hour, 43+ min ago   (707+ words) You can run local AI models on any device in your home or office with LAN access using Unsloth. With this enabled, local models can be accessed from a phone, laptop, or another computer on the same Wi-Fi or wired…...

1+ hour, 22+ min ago   (1606+ words) Imagine a developer needs to run containers on a shared build server, so you add their account to the docker group. That seemingly harmless change can give them root-level access to the host. For example, they could run docker run…...

1+ hour, 32+ min ago   (785+ words) Short answer: a hosted logging API has the smaller setup and maintenance surface for a junior developer running a small-business app; self-hosted Loki fits when control over ingestion, retention, and tenant-level cost attribution justifies a named operator. For a logistics…...

3+ day, 17+ hour ago   (731+ words) The importance of observability in today’s AI-driven world cannot be underestimated, especially when it comes to addressing the challenges that Kubernetes can face. Unlike virtual machines, which require a complete operating system, containers run as lightweight processes, consuming fewer resources....

1+ hour, 45+ min ago   (774+ words) My homelab ran out, and for once it wasn't disk. It was capacity: there was simply no more memory in the Proxmox box to hand to a runner, and I'd spent two weeks being clever about that instead of admitting…...
