ClickHouse ran five LLMs through an autonomous root cause gauntlet using OpenTelemetry data. None nailed it solo. OpenAI’s o3 and Claude Sonnet 4 came closest. GPT-4.1 was the cheapest brain on the block. Things got weird under the hood. Token usage spiked unpredictably. Queries slammed observabili.. read more  

Git worktrees have been around since 2015, but few devs use them like they could. They let you work on multiple branches at once—each in its own directory—without the usual stash-switch-stash-repeat dance. The real power move? Pair them with abare repo. That gives you a clean, central base where ea.. read more
