A professional footballer doesn't play until retirement. I never applied the same logic to myself. Maybe talking to machines was never the real superpower. shippingbytes.com/2026/06/17/i...

go.sum and package-lock.json aren't infrastructure. They're a liability you haven't priced. Gorilla got archived quietly. Dependabot opens PRs nobody reviews. When did you last actually look at your dependency graph? shippingbytes.com/2026/05/28/y...

Agent observability is not a dashboard problem. It is a design problem. Three things you actually need before your agents ship to production. shippingbytes.com/2026/06/03/a...

Agents don't just write code. They generate operational surface area. 30% of Vercel deploys are now agent-initiated. Up 1000% in 6 months. Your telemetry stack was not built for that velocity. shippingbytes.com/2026/05/21/a...

I wrote about the hidden cost of “vibe coding.” AI makes it easy to generate working software fast. But someone still has to: * maintain it * debug it * secure it * understand it months later A demo is not the same thing as a sustainable system. shippingbytes.com/2026/05/07/v...

Vibe coding builds the mess, you still have to live in it – shipping bytes
The codebase doesn’t care how it got written, but you will. Robby Russell wrote a piece that I keep thinking about. His argument: the pros dismissed Access and FileMaker, but founders built real busin...

Have you tried a knowledge base solution like Dosu? dosu.dev I think it is capable of injecting a lot of information, even historical one that can help with projects with good complexity
dosu.dev
Dosu | Knowledge infrastructure for agents and humans.
Dosu’s automatic knowledge capture gives your team shared context and improves agent performance without changing your workflow.

Most arguments about AI-generated code are talking past each other. Robby Russell asks "does it work?" often yes. Paul Stack asks "does it keep working?" that's where vibe coding breaks down. Both are right. They're just answering different questions. New post shippingbytes.com/2026/04/22/d...

There are thousands on new skills, plugins for agents trying to get our attentions. Agents on their own are trying to lock you in as well to be honest! Anyway recently I tried superpower, I like it so far! shippingbytes.com/2026/03/27/p...

Pragmatic early adopter meets coding agents
I like to think I have a couple of “superpowers”… but coding agents aren’t (yet) one of them. That said, I’ve been experimenting with obra/superpowers + Claude, and I have to admit the experience has ...

The easiest thing I can fully automate
That’s it! I think the title self explains what is my north start when it comes to DevOps, infrastructure and such.

Everyone has something to say about how LLMs works but this presentation from Yann Dubois at Stanford is something to listen to!

Stanford CS229 I Machine Learning I Building Large Language Models (LLMs)
I ended up working instead of finishing the university, not because I needed to drop off but it was not for me. I am glad I have the opportunity to access top quality contents like this from Stanford. LLMs are here to stay, even if the technology is a cancer for the environment it brings […]

It has been a while! I thought I didn't have anything good to share, but I think I am wrong! There is always something interesting or challenging. I am in ❤️ with #datafusion those days and I used one of their crate to parse and inspect a SQL query shippingbytes.com/2024/11/27/t...
