weekly-notes

Agents read traces where humans read dashboards. Dynatrace bought Arize for $915M, Nini says my posts are too generic and I moved to a self-hosted SearXNG.

I read the EU AI Act as an observability spec, admitted my research agent picks better stocks than I do, lost two subagent reports and switched to Orca.

I consolidated my tools, published my AI-interview-cheating research, studied the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, and lost skills to a silent backup failure.

A trick to reset Claude Code’s 5-hour session window for longer focused runs, why I now write my weekly notes letter by letter, a tour of the emerging cults that worship AI as god, readers in China translating my posts, and a fasting-tracker PWA I built.

Cutting AI noise down to a few trusted signals, Charity Majors on vendor engineering as high-leverage work, Matt Pocock’s guide to Claude skills, Kimi K3’s frontier release, resuming my book-reading habit, a Proxmox disk-boot fix, and a world map of where this site’s readers live.

Why an old song can hit the body after a gap (aesthetic chills and the dopamine reward system), what a Forward Deployed Engineer really does, a visit to Mahabodhi Buddha Vihar, basic life support training, an automated weekly-note pipeline, and a VPS disk-growth fix.

Why proxies sell cheap Claude tokens in China, how AI assistants reshape my interviews, comparing Vedanta, Buddhism and Navayana, and a Proxmox disk-hang fix.

I found verbose prompts are a reliability problem not just a cost one, marked 14 years in IT, cleaned up my site SEO, and made peace with paying income tax.
