Full-stack developer writing about .NET, Azure, React, and whatever else I had to spend too long debugging.
From 479 preemptions to serving 128k contexts out of a 64 GB disk cache — including the upstream bug I had to patch to get there.
The model felt slow, so I stopped guessing. Prometheus on my Unraid box scrapes vLLM, LiteLLM, and the GPU — and a 31-panel Grafana dashboard separates 'slow prefill' from 'KV cache exhaustion' from 'the engine is dead'.
Why I left Cursor for Paseo — a remote daemon that gives me cloud-class fire-and-forget agents while the model stays on my own box. How the setup works, how the native Android app beats Cursor's iOS-only mobile story, and why the local/cloud split is the whole point.
From 26 t/s to 33 t/s with a 2x context window — what actually moved the needle, and the tradeoffs that didn't show up in the benchmark.
A full tour of fringeplan.com — why the official Fringe app still isn't a planner, how Generate builds a clash-free week around travel and meals, and the features that turn a show list into a shareable, bookable schedule.
What the 15 digits in an IMEI actually mean, how the Luhn check digit works, and a client-side tool on spanners.dev for generating and validating IMEIs and IMEISVs for testing.
Eight brand-new developer tools just landed on spanners.dev — cron parser, regex tester, JWT debugger, diff viewer, and more. Plus a bunch of shared improvements across the whole site.
A practical walkthrough of setting up Hermes Agent as a lightweight orchestrator that drives GitHub Copilot through a fully automated issue → PR → merge pipeline. Not a polished CI/CD system — a crude but effective dev loop that actually works (mostly).
How I went from zero analytics to full Tinylytics tracking across 9 repos — almost entirely hands-off — using Hermes Agent as the orchestrator and GitHub Copilot to write the PRs.
Here’s how I added a valid RSS feed to hardcopy.dev with no backend, no database, and no CMS — just Markdown, React Router, and a build step.
