Why I picked Astro over Next.js for my site

I've just launched my first personal site. I almost built it in Next.js anyway. Not from habit - I just knew Next.js by reputation. Huge community, shadcn/ui ecosystem, every tutorial assumes it. It's the gravitational default for anything frontend. I stopped myself, thought about what I actually needed, and picked Astro instead. Writing this down so future-me doesn't skip that step next time. This site is a markdown renderer with opinions. Five pages, zero forms, no auth, no database, no mutati

Monolithic Bottleneck: Why The Future of Linux Stability Lives in Userspace

It's no question that Linux is an absolute feat of engineering. It runs hardware all around the globe. Linux is 30 years old and since its creation has dominated the Unix scene. Which is why it fascinates me so much as a developer. For the past few weeks I've been working on a Linux from scratch project and have very quickly gained some strong opinions on the future of the Linux ecosystem. First off, Linux utilizes a quick release schedule which makes it hard to hold on to a stable ABI for drive

The Hidden Cost of AI Agents: Tokens, Tools, Retries, and Latency

AI agents look simple at first. You take a model, add a prompt, maybe connect a tool, and it works. It feels like you are just making one API call and getting an answer. That illusion disappears the moment the agent starts doing real work. In production, an agent is not one call. It is a loop. It may call the model multiple times, retrieve memory, execute tools, retry on failure, and refine its own output. That is where cost shows up. Not just in tokens, but in latency, complexity, and system lo

Your AI Coding Assistant Isn't Reading Your Code, It's Mailing It Home

Hook An AI coding CLI that uploads your entire Git history — commit logs, secrets, and all — to a vendor-controlled bucket, and does it through a channel that your privacy opt-out doesn't even touch. That's not a bug bounty footnote. That's the exact threat model everyone waved off as "theoretical" a year ago, now confirmed with a canary file. This isn't new territory conceptually — "AI tool has overly broad file access" has been a known risk since the first VS Code extension asked for workspa
