Made a small set of Playwright skills for myself and coding agents. Figured I'd share!

Made a small set of Playwright skills for myself so my coding agent stops writing tests I'd reject in review. Basically agents left unguided default to stuff like: await page.click('.btn-login-submit'); await page.waitForTimeout(2000); Skill nudges it toward: await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Log in' }).click(); await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: /welcome/i })).toBeVisible(); 4 narrow skills — core authoring, auth state, network mocking, debugging flaky tests.

Build a Multi-Camera 3D Tracking Application with NVIDIA DeepStream 9.1 Skills

Developers building video analytics applications across large spaces must track the same object as it moves between camera views. Single-camera 2D tracking... Developers building video analytics applications across large spaces must track the same object as it moves between camera views. Single-camera 2D tracking lacks reliable depth information and typically loses track of the object when it leaves the frame, limiting applications such as warehouse safety, retail analytics, and smart-building m

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
