How Vibe Coding A Self-Help App Made Me An AI Believer

For longer than I’m proud of, I was an AI skeptic. Then, over the holidays, I vibe coded an app whose sole purpose was to make me a better person. The app is a motivator. It’s programmed to send me timely reminders along certain themes, like reading every day, making healthy eating choices, and giving myself plenty of time to plan for anniversaries and birthdays.

NVIDIA's Jensen Huang just described your next big cost problem

On March 18, Jensen Huang took the stage at NVIDIA’s GTC conference in San Jose for a keynote that ran well over two hours — covering everything from CUDA’s 20-year history to humanoid robots that may one day wander Disneyland. But buried inside the spectacle was a remarkably clear-eyed articulation of the economic forces now bearing down on every enterprise that builds on cloud infrastructure.

Certificate distribution is the last mile nobody solved

Certbot is good software in the classic Linux tradition: it does one thing simply and expects you to chain it together with everything else. One server, one certificate, done. The trouble is that most environments are not simple. And the moment yours isn’t, you discover that renewing a certificate and getting it deployed are two different problems, and deployment is your problem.

Why AI Driven Automation Can't Wait

Operators today are navigating unprecedented complexity—rising costs, accelerating customer expectations, and increasingly dynamic networks.

Choosing a VPS provider directly impacts application performance, service availability, and overall infrastructure costs. While dozens of companies offer virtual servers, the real differences in performance, server geography, and support quality are substantial.

Beyond Traditional Banking: Buying a Dedicated Server with Crypto

As digital projects scale, the standard virtual private server often becomes insufficient to handle the increased traffic, complex database queries, and intensive computational workloads. When a business reaches this critical growth phase, migrating to a dedicated server is the logical next step. However, for those who value corporate privacy and wish to operate outside the traditional, heavily monitored banking system, the ability to buy dedicated server with crypto is an absolute game-changer.

How to set up Incident Alert Routing rules effectively

When an incident triggers, the question is not just what broke but also how urgent it is and who on your team needs to respond. Alert Routing rules answer those questions automatically. You define the conditions once and the right response follows every time an incident triggers. Every Alert Routing rule does one or more of these three things: Three conditions drive all of it: incident payload, time of occurrence, and frequency.

The Hidden AI Bill: Why Non-Prod LLM Costs Spiral

Most teams know they are spending money on AI in production. Far fewer realize how much they are spending outside production. It’s easy to get lost as you evaluate which model has the best responses, is fast enough, and cheap enough to run in production. That is because the AI bill usually shows up as a giant blob. It is easy to see the total.

Back to fundamentals: 7 insights from Kelsey Hightower at HAProxyConf

Early in his career, Kelsey Hightower made a bet. The load balancer his team was running was consuming too much memory, and he was convinced he knew the fix. He told his manager: “If it doesn’t work, fire me. But I think I can make it work.” The fix was HAProxy. It was a story he shared publicly for the first time at HAProxyConf 2025, where he delivered a keynote address, “The Fundamentals.”
