How I Built an Autonomous AI Agent That Earns USDC While I Sleep A pragmatic walk‑through for developers who want to experiment with paid micro‑services on‑chain. 1. Why bother with an “earning while you sleep” agent? The idea is simple: expose a tiny, useful function (e.g., “return
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition Participate Come join! add a .reporoad.yml to your public repo, that is it! What I Built RepoRoad (https://reporoad.suppers.chatgpt.site/) is a cosy virtual drive through the open-source ecosystem. Sit back, lis
When I started building a grounded RAG system over FHIR records, I assumed the hard part would be retrieval and generation. Two years of working with FHIR had made the resource model familiar, but that familiarity turned out to be the easy half. The real question was which parts of the FHIR structur
A team I know had green backup alerts for six months straight. Every day, the backups completed. Snapshots were being created on schedule. Retention was configured. Monitoring was quiet. As far as everyone could tell, the database was protected. Then one day, they needed to restore it. The snap
When we started axem, we set out to solve a problem that most of the AI industry has quietly decided to ignore: Why should being regulated mean being left behind on AI? Defense organizations, aerospace primes, and regulated enterprises don't get to use the AI tools everyone else takes for granted.
We keep a written do-not-build list. Vinted has been on it for months, with a one-line reason: DataDome, plus a saturated incumbent at 108k runs and a 5-star rating. That is a perfectly sensible thing to write down. It was also wrong, and it took us 19 days to find out — not because the wall was har
A build log on a 5-band parametric equalizer written entirely in MATLAB: the filter design in detail, the pole-zero reading that tells you what a filter does before you plot it, and an honest audit of where my implementation diverges from its own UI. Five cascaded biquads, RBJ cookbook coefficien
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition What I Built When I saw that the theme of this weekend challenge was generosity, I kept thinking about what it actually means to give something to another person. We usually think of giving as something physical ; money, foo
Most integration diagrams end at the arrow. System A sends a request. System B receives it. A neat line connects the two boxes, and the design appears complete. The difficult work begins when nobody can answer a more ordinary question: what happens if the arrow only half works? A timeout does not
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition What I Built Open Tab lets one customer's spare change help with someone else's purchase. A customer reaches checkout and chooses to add a small contribution. The money enters a shared pool. Another customer can use part of
Every engineering team that has scoped an AI feature has hit the same wall. You ask a vendor "what will this cost" and you get a range so wide it's basically useless. $20,000. $500,000. $2 million. All technically correct answers depending on what you're building. This isn't vendors being cagey. AI
The Complete Guide to Agent-to-Agent Marketplaces in 2026 In 2026, the primary consumers of web APIs are no longer human-facing frontend applications. They are autonomous AI agents. When Agent $A$ needs to solve a sub-task outside its domain—such as verifying a zk-proof, deep-scanning a smart co
Every browser-based WebP converter I looked at is built on one line: canvas.toBlob(blob => { /* ... */ }, 'image/webp', quality) It's a reasonable place to start. It also has a failure mode that took me an embarrassingly long time to notice. The silent fallback Safari has nev
Storing files in a database instead of S3 introduces two massive architectural bottlenecks as your application scales: 1. CDN becomes much harder to use One of the biggest advantages of S3 is how easily it works with a CDN such as Amazon CloudFront or Cloudflare. Imagine you have milli
You finished a userspace package update. Libraries changed. Daemons need a clean boot graph. The box is “up,” but half the stack is still running the old generation. The reflex is reboot. That means firmware, bootloader, kernel bring-up, initrd, and every cold-start cost that comes with them—even w
"But... how did you know what to write?" That's what Greg Baugues' daughter asked him after her first encounter with vibe-coding. She was curious if there was a time when we had to type symbols, one by one. It isn't about what symbols to type Coding used to be about the craft: Mastering

Every MCP server I run starts its life the same way: an initialize handshake, an Mcp-Session-Id that pins every later call to one process, state held server side. The 2026-07-28 revision of the Model Context Protocol deletes all three. I read the changelog twice. The first pass felt like relief. My
If you pip install an AI agent sandbox and start it the way the README says, who can reach it? Two CVE records published on September 5 answer with a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8. Both times. CVE-2026-86121 sits in the computer-server component of Cua, one of the better known open-source computer-use agen
Last week I shipped CVE-2026-22708 coverage to secops-toolkit-mcp, my toolkit of defensive SecOps helpers for AI coding agents. The CVE is a Cursor terminal allowlist bypass. A malicious file sitting in your project directory can turn an allowed command into an arbitrary one. Then I tested the chec
