Turn an AI you can’t trust into one you can
You can’t unit-test an AI. Notes from a month of building evals instead.
Which 80% of Claude Code are you missing?
AI Mentor is a Claude Code plugin that finds the capabilities you don’t know exist and teaches them one at a time, grounded in your real repo.
Claude Code plugins and the trust nobody talks about
The official Claude Code docs describe SHA pinning as a feature but never explain why it matters. This post does, and walks through a release pipeline built...
Your Claude bill called. It wants to talk.
10 practices to cut your Claude bill, ranked by impact. Score yourself as you read.
Turn AI friction into better docs
An experiment using automated friction capture to continuously improve AI context docs, fixing both codebase drift and gaps in initially generated content.
The docs your AI agent is missing
A Claude Code skill that builds the context docs your AI agent needs, backed by research on how LLMs process context.
Teaching Claude Code skills to improve themselves
A simple instruction you can append to your Claude Code skills to make them suggest improvements to themselves and your project docs.

Learn how to propagate exceptions thrown from a loop without breaking that loop.
Overriding the configuration of a Quarkus app from its test code
Increase your test coverage by overriding the configuration of your Quarkus app from its test code.
Changing the Quarkus loggers level from Unleash
Updating an environment variable to change a logger level can sometimes be slow. What if you could change that level immediately with Unleash?
