248. AI is destroying Open Source, and it's not even good yet
Over the weekend Ars Technica retracted an article because the AI a writer used hallucinated quotes from an open source library maintainer. The irony here is the maintainer in question, Scott Shambaugh, was harassed by someone's AI agent over not merging its AI slop code. It's likely the bot was running through someone's local 'agentic AI' instance (likely using OpenClaw). The guy who built OpenClaw was just hired by OpenAI to "work on bringing agents to everyone." You'll have to forgive me if I'm not enthusastic about that.

258. One Server. Small Business
More than a decade ago, I built a small Rails app to run my curated newsletters. Today it serves over 100,000 subscribers, sends hundreds of thousands of emails each month, and still runs on a single $30 server. In this post, I walk through how I deploy, secure, back up, and monitor it — and why I still prefer owning the stack over using a managed platform.
