eza --hyperlink eats the next positional argument
eza v0.23.5 made --hyperlink a clap optional-value flag, so a bare --hyperlink swallows the next argument; attach the value with =.
What Changed in pnpm Since 11.7 Until 11.13.1
Seven pnpm releases shipped between 11.7 and 11.13.1, and the one that maps to my config is a peak-memory fix for the minimumReleaseAge and trustPolicy resolution path.
AWS auth in a Gondolin VM: why SigV4 breaks the secrets bridge
The Gondolin bridge substitutes placeholders in request headers, but the AWS SDK signs the request over the placeholder value. The substitution happens too late and every call returns SignatureDoesNotMatch. The fix is to mount the host's ~/.aws/ read-only instead.
Why Lychee checked 336 links in CI and 6,633 locally
An unquoted recursive glob made Lychee scan seven shallow HTML files in GitHub Actions while the quoted local command reached the full generated Astro site.
Dependency caching belongs at the registry layer, not the package store
Caching the package manager store treats a symptom. A pull-through proxy registry is the layer where cross-runner dependency caching actually compounds.
_EXPERIMENTAL_DAGGER_CACHE_CONFIG is inert in Dagger 0.21
A source trace explains why Dagger's BuildKit cache bridge works on 0.20.1, disappears in 0.21, and leaves type=gha with no effect.
Practical cache strategies for ephemeral Dagger CI
A decision guide to persistent engines, host-side cache bridges, registry proxies, and cold execution after Dagger 0.21 removed BuildKit remote export.
Hardcoded tool versions in a GitHub Actions step drift from mise.lock under Renovate
Renovate bumps mise.lock but a version pinned inside a workflow run step stays stale, and MISE_LOCKED=1 then aborts. Install tools by name and let the lockfile decide.
TypeScript 7 is fast, but the Compiler API is gone. Here is what that breaks.
The Go rewrite delivers 10x faster type-checking. It also removes the programmatic API that eslint, Dagger, and every framework template type-checker depends on.
Shipping visual regression on React Native: Maestro baselines, an RNTL v14 migration, and killing Storybook
How I closed two testing gaps on a React Native/Expo app, visual regression and CI integration, by adding Maestro baselines, migrating RNTL to v14, and deleting Storybook RN entirely.
Reducing Renovate's blast radius: split groups, custom managers, and the temporal-polyfill lesson
A single broken dependency blocked 20 updates in one Renovate PR. Three config changes prevent it from happening again.
Immutable release bundles and SSM deploys on EC2 without a container orchestrator
Running a production backend on EC2 without Kubernetes: the immutable-release and coherent-backup model I put in to make deploys reversible and restores internally consistent.
GitLab CI auto_cancel can silently drop pipelines after MR rebase
When auto_cancel: on_new_commit is configured, rebasing a merge request from the GitLab web UI can prevent the new pipeline from spawning entirely.
ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE requires the type owner
Adding a value to a PostgreSQL enum requires owning the type itself, and a pg_class ownership-transfer loop won't reassign enums because standalone types live in pg_type.
