Introducing Celmis: self-hosted code intelligence over a symbol graph
Celmis is self-hosted code intelligence. It reads a set of repositories once and keeps a symbol graph of them; asking questions, reviewing pull requ…
Vercel CLI overhaul: DNS, domains, project management
This week's tooling news is largely a Vercel story—CLI expansions, observability upgrades, sandbox regionalization, and a free tier reshuffle landed…
vincent: a local-first control plane for AI coding agents
AI coding agents have become surprisingly capable. But once I started using them seriously, I ran into a different problem: Starting an agent is eas…
AI Is Transforming Software Development Workflows
The highest-value use of Claude Code is rarely the one in the demos, and it isn't writing code. It's answering a question like "where does the webho…

Just putting this here for feedback. 🌐 Quick Links 🚀 Website & Downloads: devsftp.com 🐙 GitHub Repository: github.com/DevsFTP/DevsFTP 🎨 1. Works…
Audit the Server, Not the Model: A Free-Tier Test for AI Coding Tools
The model decides what the tool says, but the server decides what the tool does, and most developers audit the first and ignore the second. When you…
A Fast Alternative to Pylint R0801
If you only need Pylint for duplicate-code detection, you don't necessarily need to run Pylint to get it. Python tooling has changed quite a bit ove…
290+ AI Developer Tools: A Practical Guide to Finding the Right Tool
AI developer tools are evolving extremely quickly. A year ago, it was relatively easy to keep track of the major coding assistants. Today, there are…
Run Ox Alpha in Claude Code without touching your Claude subscription
Ox Alpha showed up on OpenRouter on 20 August with no author attached to it. Nobody has confirmed which lab built it — community fingerprinting poin…
Green Tests Can Still Be Dead Tests: Auditing Agent-Generated Suites
A developer recently asked a coding agent to write a test suite for a function that parses ISO dates. The agent returned fourteen test cases, every…
We benchmarked a security detector against 500k lines of Go. It found a real bug.
We're building deslop — rule packs that stop coding agents from re-introducing bugs that were already fixed. One half of that is detection: if a rul…
How we run five coding agents side by side in one window
I build NestMux, a desktop app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot and OpenCode in a grid of real terminals, each with its own account…
wmic is gone and your Node process tree is silently wrong on Windows 11
The last post I wrote here ended on a line I had to go and check: killing a shell does not kill what the shell started. This is what I found underne…
Isolation, file ownership and cleanup: the boring half of running coding agents in parallel on Windows
Someone left a comment on my last post that was a better outline than the post was: Parallel agents are only practical when the workspace boundaries…
Making AI Coding Agents More Efficient: My Local Toolkit
Giving AI coding agents more tools doesn’t necessarily make them more efficient. After using OpenCode and Claude Code heavily, I started focusing le…
I Built Format-on-Save for Everything That Isn't an Editor
Editors have had format-on-save for years. The rest of the development environment has not. When a generator, shell command or coding agent writes a…
Arid 2.0: From Fast Python Duplicate Detection to CI-Ready Tooling
Arid started because Pylint R0801 was too slow. Version 2.0 keeps the fast detector and builds the workflows around it. A few months ago, I had a fa…
Real Token Cost of MCP: 91K Tokens of JSON
255 MCP tools. 91,000 tokens of JSON schemas. Before you ask a single question. Here's what I found and how I fixed it. The experiment I connected C…
How do you stop Claude Code from writing files?
I spent a week trying to keep a coding agent out of one directory, and I lost that argument at every layer that lives inside the agent. The markdown…
19 Chrome DevTools Tricks Every Developer Should Know
Most developers use Chrome DevTools every day. But most of us only use a small part of what it can actually do. Chrome DevTools has lots of hidden f…
Running three coding agents at once is easy. Noticing when they need you isn't.
Coding agents have genuinely changed how I work, and I don't think that is a controversial thing to say any more. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini…
DeepSeek Harness Puts Its Breaking-Changes Warning Before the Install Steps
The loudest sentence in the DeepSeek Harness README is set in all caps: "THERE WILL BE COMPATIBILITY-BREAKING CHANGES." That is not a footnote burie…
After 15 Years of Coding, AI Made Me Start More Projects in 6 Months Than My Entire Career Combined
TL;DR: I'm a full-stack developer with 15 years of experience, mostly building mobile apps, then web, backend, and desktop. After I started using Cu…
Claude Code session managers - what exists and what each one solves
Claude Code session managers: what exists and what each one solves I started out looking for a session manager. It took me a while to realise that l…
Running several coding agents in parallel on Windows, without WSL or tmux
I work on NestMux, so read this the way you would read anything written by someone with a stake in it. Everything I claim about other tools comes fr…
A 2-Token Prompt and a 39,966-Token Bill: Measuring What My Agent Actually Costs
There is a small cluster of posts going around right now about auditing your LLM invoice, and about how cost calculators get the numbers wrong. I we…
Your coding agent shouldn't die when your laptop sleeps
For about a month, I did the dumbest thing in my dev career: I carried an open laptop around my apartment like a newborn. I'd kick off a long Claude…
I audited six token usage trackers. They disagree with each other by 2x to 8x.
Over the past five months I took apart the folding logic in six token usage trackers and recomputed each one with an independent implementation. The…
Vector Search Lands in DynamoDB Natively — Issue #89
