Skipped monorepo deployments no longer count against limits

Deployments that Vercel in a monorepo no longer count against your deployment rate limits. Teams with monorepos now get more deployments from the same limits.automatically skips Vercel skips a project's deployment when its source code and internal dependencies haven't changed, using 's package graph and lockfile analysis to determine which projects a commit affects. Turborepo Skipping is enabled by default for new monorepo projects. You can turn it on for existing projects under in the .Build

I don't trust ON DELETE CASCADE

Postgres ON DELETE CASCADE is very tempting to use at first. Fully integrity checked, atomic deletion of your data. You don't need to write any application code to clean up related rows, you simply set up your foreign keys, then issue a single DELETE statement, Postgres takes care of the rest. What could be simpler? CREATE TABLE customer_organizations ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name text NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE customer_users ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name text NOT NULL, organ

Claude Code with Ollama: Run an AI Coding Agent on Local and Cloud LLMs

The need What we will build Claude Code installed in the terminal. Ollama installed on Windows. Claude Code linked to a local LLM through Ollama. An alternative with Ollama cloud models (limited usage). Prerequisites Windows with PowerShell. Node.js and npm. Enough disk space for the local model you choose. Install Claude Code Claude Code needs Node.js. Install it globally with npm and verify the version. (The PowerShell script from the docs failed on my machine, npm worked.) On first launch, C

MCP configs are the new .env files — I found live database keys committed on GitHub

MCP configs are the new .env files. I scanned GitHub and found live database keys committed in public repos. If you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Windsurf with external tools, you have an .mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json file on your machine. It tells your editor which MCP servers to start, and each server entry can carry an env block. That env block is a secret store. And developers are pasting real keys into it — then committing the file. I ran GitHub code search for filena

QuietQueue: batch the little chores with on-device, open-weight AI

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest 2026 Week 3: Slow and Steady challenge. QuietQueue turns a scattered to-do list into a small session of related tasks. Paste one task per line, choose a time budget and an energy setting, and get a plan with the rest safely parked for later. The goal is simple: spend less effort deciding what to do next and switching between unrelated chores. It does not send messages, book anything, or perform your tasks. It helps organize them. The optional AI runs in
