Craig Walls’ Spring AI in Action is out: 5-book giveaway + Spring AI discussion

Spring AI is the Spring project's response to the gap in solutions for integrating enterprise Java with generative artificial intelligence models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, and others. As I decide to invest time in learning and contributing to the project, I missed something that helped me grow in the past as a Java developer: an online community where people could ask questions, participate in discussions, and promote their content. To fill that gap, I created a dedicated subreddit for the Sprin

Biome v1, Go 1.26, and the Quiet Modernization of Developer Tooling

This week's releases aren't chasing AI headlines — they're fixing the friction that slows down every serious codebase. Biome landed formatter options that kill entire categories of config debates, Go 1.26 automated the idiom modernization work nobody wants to do manually, and Astral shipped a type checker that makes Pyright feel like it's running on a dial-up connection. Here's what actually matters. Biome 1.0 adds JSX quote style control, arrow function parentheses configuration, and a dedicate

I built an autonomous SRE that lets an LLM diagnose incidents — but never touch a shell unsupervised

I built an autonomous SRE system where a local LLM diagnoses production incidents, proposes a fix, and a deterministic engine decides whether that fix is ever allowed to run. The whole thing works inside your own network — zero data egress. It's called Sentinel. It's a prototype and a learning project: I started from scratch on a Mac and used it to go deep on distributed systems, gRPC, local LLM inference, and safe automation. This post walks through why it's built the way it is — the design dec

The Ultimate Guide to Distrohopping: How to Hop Safely Without Breaking Your System

A complete step-by-step developer's guide to distrohopping. Learn how to manage backups, automate package installs, use Ventoy, handle partitions, and leverage NixOS reproducibility.

It is exciting to try new package managers, desktop environments, and kernel updates. However, it often comes with a painful cost: lost files, broken configurations (dotfiles), and hours of manual post-

What We Learned Hiring 33 Engineers in Two Weeks

Earlier this year, we needed to hire a cohort of engineers in Seattle, fast. We had a product launching at our marquee conference, Deploy, a hard deadline, and a clear picture of what the work would actually require. What we didn’t want was an interview process designed for a world that no longer exists. So we rebuilt it from scratch and opened a brand-new office in Bellevue for everyone we hired. Here’s what we did, why we did it, and what we heard from the engineers who went through it. The pr
