Dropdown navigation, a categorized tech stack, file organization, and auto-publishing. The polishing work nobody notices but everyone feels.

The last post in this series. What worked, what got immediately deleted, and what I'd do differently.

I wanted to show my PlayStation trophies on my blog. It took a Python scraper, Cloudflare cookie theft, and way too many regex fixes.

How I stopped editing DNS records in web UIs and started versioning them in Git. Includes fixing Porkbun provider quirks and handling ACME challenges.

How a vulnerability in fast-xml-parser affected my blog through @astrojs/rss, and why transitive dependencies are quietly terrifying.

A debugging session that started with one Airflow error and uncovered four cascading failures across Docker images, Kubernetes caching, namespace boundaries, and Python string iteration.

I upgraded Miniflux, Invidious, a Django app, and Mastodon from PostgreSQL 15/17 to 18.2. Every single one broke in a different way.

Why I switched to Micasa, a TUI tool for home management, and why local-first software is the future.

How I built PythonID-bot to manage the Indonesian Python community on Telegram.

I stopped doomscrolling and let an AI agent curate my tech news. Here's how I automated my information diet with OpenClaw and Node.js.

My experience using Amp, the frontier coding agent. It rewards structured planning and works best as a 'second brain' in your terminal.

Firefox 148 just shipped the new Sanitizer API with setHTML(). Here's why you should stop using innerHTML today.

Sometimes the fastest way to fix a bug is to stop fixing it and fix your tools instead. A lesson on sharpening the saw.

Go 1.26 ships with compiler optimizations that move more slice allocations from the heap to the stack. Your existing code gets faster without a refactor.

I published a blog post every day in February. Some were good, some were filler, and I learned more about my own writing habits than I expected.

Most codebases rot over time. Compound engineering is the idea that every unit of work should make the next one easier, not harder.
