9. Who actually wrote that commit... you, or your AI agent?

The gap nobody's really tracking Your Git history can tell you that a workstation pushed a commit. What it can't tell you is who or whatactually produced the change. Was it you? An AI agent running inside your IDE? A CI job? Some vendor tool you forgot you'd wired in? For a long time that question was academic. It isn't anymore. The more code we write with AI in the loop, the shakier one quiet assumption gets: that there's a human author behind every commit. Audit trails, incident reviews, compl...

10. Your AI agent has sudo. I built a tool to take it away.

A few weeks ago I gave an AI agent access to my machine through MCP. It read files, opened PRs, queried a database. It was great β€” until I looked at what it could have done if a tool description had been poisoned, or a prompt injection had slipped through. The answer was: anything. ~/.ssh/id_rsa. DROP TABLE users. rm -rf /. The agent had sudo, and nobody had voted for that. So I built AgentPerms β€” a CLI that gives MCP agents least-privilege permissions the same way you'd lock down any other proc...

11. The 200-byte trap: why WordPress core updates break Arabic URLs

You update WordPress on a quiet afternoon β€” a routine release, the kind you've installed a hundred times. The dashboard says everything went fine. Then the 404s start: not a handful, but every long-headlined article in your archive, all at once, all in Arabic. Nothing in the update log mentions it. No plugin changed. And the cruel part: the data that made those URLs work is already gone β€” shaved off inside a database-upgrade routine that ran for a few milliseconds and reported success. This isn'...

14. Shopify App Store Ranking: What Day 14 of a New Compliance App Launch Actually Looks Like

15. Building Real-Time Dashboards in Angular with WebSockets β€” A Complete Guide

Most dashboards are built the same way: the user lands on the page, data loads, and then... it sits there. Stale. Until the user hits refresh or you set up an awkward polling interval that hammers your server every few seconds. There's a better way. WebSockets give you a persistent, two-way connection between your Angular app and your server β€” meaning your dashboard updates the moment new data exists, with zero wasted requests. In this article we'll build a complete real-time dashboard in Angula...

It's a 5-4 game in the bottom of the ninth inning in Pittsburgh, and it looks like the Pirates might drop one to the struggling Minnesota Twins.

And now it's time to go back to the future, with Fortnite OG preparing to kick off its awesome new sci-fi makeover. While Epic hasn't fully detailed what...
