If there is no database, where one should persist state? Most software is stateful and needs to persist state across restarts, so I would argue that one needs at least SQLite. On S…

I think the findings that the LLM triggers “desperation” like emotions when it about to run out of tokens in a coding session have practical implications. The tasks needs to be pla…

Thank you for the detailed write up. I’m was thinking about building native windows UI, wrapping around cross platform library written in swift. I did not know it was that messy an…

I recall, at the time Bloomberg and their source were taking about tiny chip on the bmc that was masking as a resistor. However they did not produce any concrete evidence, citing N…

I don't think it was a confirmed story. That is, the tiny "grain of rice" size Ethernet module that CEO of a security audit company allegedly found, was not present in other SuperM…

100%! Lots of issues are only discovered when enough code has been written. More than that , other issues are discovered only when the project is actually deployed as MVP.

TDD helps a lot, but it’s no guarantee - LLM is smart enough to “fake” the code to pass tests . I’m working on project - a password manager, where I have full end to end test harne…

I’m at level 6 according to this article. I have solid harness, but I still need to review the code so I can understand how to plan for the next set of changes . Also, I’m struggli…

I've glanced over the article - I think using SQLCypher makes sense if it benefits Keepass project internally, meaning makes it easier to implement new features or fix bugs. I do n…

I'm working on an alternative to KeePass/KeepassXC called Lockstep - it is local-first password manager that supports sync natively. It uses SQLCypher as local data store and keeps…

I do not want to self host either, for exactly the same reasons. However, I do want to have full control of my secret data beyond the secrets themselves, ideally w/out self hosting…

I'm working on an alternative that I hope would be better. https://github.com/lockstepvault-hq/lockstep (early alfa project) Would you mind sharing what user experiences are not id…

I'm building an alternative called Lockstep: KeePass-like local-first password vault but with build sync https://github.com/lockstepvault-hq/lockstep Sync requires a server, howeve…
