AI's 70% Problem

Google’s Addy Osmani dropped a stat: AI now writesover 30% of the codeat Google. Impressive. But the hard part - the last 30% - still needs a human brain. That’s where the bugs live:security, edge cases, production wiring. No shortcut. And while AI adoption keeps climbing in greenfield work,trust is.. read more

The Green Tea Garbage Collector

Go 1.25 drops an experimental GC calledGreen Tea. It flips the script on object traversal - scanning memory pages instead of hopping from object to object. The payoff? Up to40% less GC CPU overheadon real workloads. Bonus: it taps intoAVX-512on newer x86 chips forvectorized scanning. Turns out strea.. read more

How Airbnb Runs Distributed Databases on Kubernetes at Scale

Airbnb runs distributed databases across multiple Kubernetes clusters - each tied to its own AWS Availability Zone. That setup isolates failures down to individual pods and keeps the whole system highly available. They built a custom Kubernetes operator and leaned on EBS volumes with PVCs to smooth .. read more

You Should Write An Agent

Building LLM agents - essentially looping stateless models through tools - looks simple. Until it isn't. Peel back the layers, and you hit real architectural puzzles:context engineering, agent loops, sub-agent choreography, execution constraints... read more  

You Should Write An Agent
TruffleHog is a high-accuracy secret-detection tool designed to uncover exposed credentials such as API keys, tokens, private keys, and cloud secrets across large codebases. Originally created to scan Git commit history, it has evolved into a multi-source scanning engine capable of analyzing GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Docker images, file systems, Terraform states, and cloud environments.

The scanner combines entropy detection, an extensive library of regular expression detectors, and live credential validation to minimize false positives. TruffleHog is widely used in security research, supply chain security, DevSecOps workflows, and bug bounty programs. Its speed, accuracy, and broad ecosystem coverage make it a core tool for identifying and preventing credential leakage in modern software development.
