It is 11:40pm and a retry loop is quietly eating someone's free tier. Not with a crash. With a for loop that never checks what came back, a client that retries on any non-200, and a usage dashboard nobody has opened since Tuesday. By…

A few days ago I wrote up how to run OpenPilot with Ollama. I've also been testing it through LM Studio, so here's that version. It's shorter, because LM Studio does most of the work. Quick context if you haven't seen it: OpenPilot is a…
The goal is small. Let a free model tidy one config file. The risk is not small. A model that writes files is a program with your permissions. I have written enough of these checklists as prose. Nobody runs prose. So this time the…
The 30% Rule Is Dead. Here's What Housing Affordability Teaches Us About Building Health Tech That Actually Reaches People. A recent analysis on realtor.com confirmed what most renters already know: wages no longer support the old…
Soft deletion often begins innocently: add an IsDeleted flag, remember to exclude retained rows, and move on. That works until the application grows into several modules, several DbContext types, and configuration spread across assemblies.…
Last week I watched a designer approve an agent's refund draft in four seconds. The policy clause sat behind a quiet little link. She never opened it. Nothing in the log recorded the skip. Who owned that decision? She did. What was the…
Last week a teammate sent me a two-line message at the end of the day: "Stop works the first time. The second time, the chat just keeps typing and I can't make it stop." She had been testing the retry path after a 500 from our own gateway…

Thursday, 4:40pm. A platform lead drops a screenshot in our channel: free tokens, a free server option, and one line of text — "why are we paying for anything?" Fair question. Also the wrong unit. We were never paying for tokens. We were…
