vLLM gates suffix decoding behind arctic_inference in two places, in two different processes. Replacing the drafter with my own meant clearing both - and getting there took one Python import-binding mistake and one process-boundary mistake.

How I built slate - a free, open-source phone-as-Stream-Deck for Mac that runs over your LAN with no cloud. One semantic Command, a pluggable Transport, a Zod schema shared across three languages, and the trade-offs (including why not WSS) behind it.

How I gave a whole team SSH to a private Azure dev cluster with zero internet-facing ports - one outbound-dialed cloudflared bastion, Cloudflare WARP, and Google SSO - plus the split-tunnel routing trap I hit on the way.

How I pushed Qwen2.5-0.5B to 9,052 tok/s on a free Colab Tesla T4 in the H2Loop inference contest - from AWQ INT4 dead ends to FP16 plus model-free suffix speculative decoding.

How I built Logpipe - a small but real Vector + ClickHouse logging pipeline in Go. Why batching at an aggregator is the whole point, what 'Too many parts' actually means, and how disk buffers stop you from losing logs on a restart.

How I built TapTalk - a fully local, privacy-first speech-to-text app for macOS in Rust and SwiftUI. On-device Whisper, Core ML on the Neural Engine, chip-tuned inference, and a global push-to-talk hotkey. No cloud, no subscription.

How Swiggy, Airbnb, PhonePe, and Nubank ship UI changes without waiting for app store approval - and how I built a working BDUI + OTA system in React Native with Cloudflare Workers and EAS.

Dissecting the April 2026 Vercel breach - from infostealer malware to OAuth hijack to customer data exposure. Full kill chain, trust lessons, and survival guide.

How we built a production fair-value calculator on top of Dhan - Black-Scholes, cost of carry, live depth, and mispricing signals - for Saras and NSE F&O.

How we built an agentic pipeline at Saras to scrape public macro and trade intelligence, dedupe at scale, enrich with structured AI, and ship a trader-facing brief - plus why Scrapling's StealthyFetcher sits in the hot path.

Exploring how modern data systems separate storage and compute, with a hands-on implementation of a memory engine that works on object stores like S3.
