I’ve been running Claude Code on my RHEL 10 workstation for a few months now, and I have to admit, with some embarrassment, I often run it with the ominous –dangerously-skip-permissions option. It reads and writes files, executes shell commands, installs packages, modifies system configs, all without asking permission first. I’ve been letting an AI

I’ve been running RHEL 10 image mode on my laptop since a few days before Red Hat Summit in May 2025, and I recently deployed it on a Linode VPS on March 4th. The whole experience has taught me something about how people actually adopt this technology, because I think the journey looks a lot

The Problem Coding assistants like Claude, Cursor, Goose and autonomous agents like OpenClaw fetch web all day everyday, and it’s basically playing Russian roulette with prompt injection. I had a false sense of confidence with Claude because I sit in front of it, and sort of monitor what it’s doing… But, when I set up

I’ve been following the conversation around Jef Spaleta’s Fedora Sandbox proposal with a lot of interest, and I think it’s worth sharing some perspective from someone who lived through exactly the kind of situation this framework is designed for. When Podman was getting started, we didn’t have anything like a structured lifecycle process in Fedora,

My print screen key on my external keyboard stopped working. Not the one built into the laptop, that was working fine. The one on my external keyboard. It had worked fine, and then it randomly stopped working! Why? I have no idea. This kind of thing isn’t supposed to happen in computers, but we all
Cloudflare announced Markdown for Agents on February 12th, and it’s one of those features that makes you stop and think about how fundamentally the web is changing. The idea is simple: when an AI agent requests your content, Cloudflare converts the HTML to clean Markdown at the edge before serving it. The result is an

There’s a conversation happening in every Slack channel, at every meetup, and honestly in every bar near a tech conference right now. The “old guard” of software engineering, and I count myself among them, is worried about the next generation of developers. The concern goes something like this: if young developers are just using AI

I’ve been building MCP servers for the last couple of months, and at this point I have over 25 of them wired into Claude Code. If you’re not familiar with MCP, it’s a protocol that lets AI assistants connect directly to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying and pasting information between applications, you

I recently wrote about giving Claude Code persistent memory using the MCP Memory Service. Go read that if you want the why. This post is about something else entirely. This post is about speed. I needed a feature in an open source project. I used an agent to write the code. A different agent reviewed
Claude Code doesn’t remember anything between sessions. Every time you start a new session, it’s a blank slate. You can stuff context into CLAUDE.md files, but that’s static text, not searchable memory. It doesn’t learn your preferences, remember your decisions, or recall the research you did yesterday. The fix is an MCP memory server. I’ve
