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

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

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 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

Request Tracker 4.4 reached end of life in November 2025. I’d been running RT 4.4.4 in a container on one of my Linode servers since 2020, and the upgrade to RT 6.0.2 had been sitting in my backlog for months. It’s the kind of task that’s never urgent until it is. You and I both

I recently wrote this to highlight real world use cases where I believe LLMs/Generative can actually help. Instead of fluff, I tried to break down real challenges for sysadmins. https://www.infoworld.com/article/3482087/what-generative-ai-can-do-for-sysadmins.html
I wrote an article that explains why community-driven open source is especially important with AI: https://www.infoworld.com/article/2337481/kubernetes-shows-the-way-forward-for-ai.html
