Been getting messages asking how I use Codex in my projects. Finally made a video about it! I break down my entire workflow and share the tips and tricks that make the biggest difference in my daily coding. Hope it helps 👍 🎥👇 youtu.be/mP-GiOihhM0

A smiling Clarkio wearing a backward black Snyk cap against a purple background with binary code. To the right, there’s a screenshot of the OpenAI Codex interface displaying the text 'What should we code next?' with a red arrow pointing to the input box. Above, bold text reads 'TIPS & TRICKS' in purple and pink gradient letters.

If you’re using Windsurf and not adding MCP servers you’re missing out on serious power. I’ll show you how to add them from the store and manually (including Snyk!) Full video 👇 youtu.be/exGudnPb9Bo

I asked Claude Sonnet 4.5 to build a secure Node.js note taking app from scratch. The results surprised me! Watch here 👇 youtu.be/YBl0BR3fgjA

Stop using .env files for your API keys. They’re not safe anymore. Here’s why and what to do instead 👇 youtu.be/pcbRwwaCPUg

Clarkio with a thoughtful face wearing a backwards Snyk cap, resting his chin on his hand. At the top is a code editor showing .env, package.json, and index.js tabs, with code that logs API_KEY from process.env. To the right is a tweet screenshot that says 'Cursor steals your dev creds,' with a red arrow pointing at it. At the bottom, bold red text reads '.ENV IS BAD' against a purple background.

Spec-driven development + AI = the future? 🤔 I explored Amazon’s new Kiro IDE paired with Claude Sonnet 4 to find out. Watch and tell me if you’d code like this 👇 🎥 youtu.be/YpB1QS58KZE

Bright thumbnail image featuring a surprised clarkio on the left side, with wide eyes and open mouth. The background is a vibrant mix of purple and pink hues with binary code pattern. Bold text at the top reads 'SPEC DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT' in blue and white. On the right, a UI screenshot shows two options: 'Vibe' and 'Spec,' with the 'Spec' option highlighted, which says 'Plan first, then build. Create requirements and design before coding starts.' A red arrow points to the highlighted option.

I put Replit to the test and was honestly shocked by the outcome. If you care about what AI coding tools can (and can’t) do, you’ll want to see this. 📹👉 youtu.be/gHGB3kptH_s

Is it just me or does this feel off when threads get super long? Makes it harder to read as posts are squished to the side

In response to the video on how AI coding tools make you vulnerable someone said GitHub Copilot Chat tends to provide better results. Spoiler alert: it does! However it still suggests vulnerable code at times too. See it in action [9min 32sec]: youtu.be/EIdsJsKAkvM?...

Maybe think twice about why you’re going to make that post before publishing it. What’s the true reason for sharing it?

A page from the book “The Daily Dad” on not using your kids. In particular it describes the example of exploiting your kids to get rewarded with likes, comments, followers, etc.

I just came across this tool that visualizes a package's dependency tree. It's called npmgraph: npmgraph.js.org Here's an example of it with the `rimraf` package:
