    Two Months into Maintaining a MinIO Fork

    Two months after forking MinIO, pgsty/minio ships patches for four CVEs and related security issues. No new features, just working builds, a restored console, and timely security fixes.

    When Coding Becomes Cheap, What Still Matters?

    Codex 5.3 xHigh pushed my workflow past a tipping point: writing code is no longer the scarce resource. The real leverage is design quality and engineering acceptance. This is the practical loop I use to ship reliable software with AI agents.

    AI Ripped the Skin Off Software

    Software stocks are melting down. Who survives? Who rises? AI stripped away software's skin, exposing the database skeleton underneath. The market isn't panic-selling — it's repricing.

    Agent OS: We're Building DOS Again

    LLM = CPU. Context = RAM. Database = Disk. Agent = App. The mapping is surprisingly clean. And if OS history is any guide, we may know what comes next — and what's still missing.
