Kubernetes Secrets Management — SOPS + age (GitOps‑friendly)

August 24, 2025

Owner: Platform Engineering Audience: Devs & Ops Status: Adopted This document captures the exact process we use to manage Kubernetes secrets with Mozilla SOPS and the age encryption tool. It includes why we chose this approach, how to work with secrets day‑to‑day, and trade‑offs versus other methods. Executive Summary We store Kubernetes Secret manifests in Git encrypted at rest using SOPS with an age public key. SOPS encrypts your secret values with AES‑256‑GCM , which is industry gold standard. In SOPS you can not swap AES‑256‑GCM out. The age private key lives only in protected CI variables. CI decrypts the manifests at deploy time and applies them with kubectl. No in‑cluster controllers, CRDs, or webhooks are required. Why this approach Top benefits: • Zero in‑cluster installs (no CRDs/controllers to run or break). • GitOps‑native: encrypted YAML sits in the repo; diffs remain readable (metadata & keys stay visible). • Cloud‑agnostic: age works anywhere; no ...

I’m Addicted to Vibe Coding — and Happy Just Made It Even Better

December 05, 2025

I’ve officially crossed a line: I’m addicted to vibe coding. Not the lazy kind. Not the “let the AI do everything while I dissolve into the couch like a forgotten penny.” I mean the kind where you’re building faster, thinking sharper, and finishing side projects that used to sit in the graveyard of half-started repos. And the tool that kicked this into overdrive for me? Happy — a mobile + web client that lets you run and control Claude Code or Codex from anywhere , with end-to-end encryption and a clean “just works” setup. GitHub This is the piece I didn’t know I was missing: plan anywhere. Why this changes the side-project equation Side projects don’t fail because we’re not smart. They fail because life eats the schedule. You get your best idea: while walking the dog in bed after a long day out on the town when your brain suddenly decides to be brilliant And then the idea evaporates because your laptop isn’t open, your environment isn’t ready, or your energy win...

Learning to Automate My Side Projects with SWE-agent + GitLab

September 28, 2025

I wanted to share something I built. I managed to connect SWE-agent with my self-hosted GitLab so that Issues can drive automation—and I think it’s kind of cool. (Currently, it isn’t directly supported in SWE-Agent, but there is an issue ( https://github.com/SWE-agent/SWE-agent/issues/760 ) on GitHub to add support. Why wait? ^_^) I’ve been tinkering with SWE-agent in the homelab while between roles. SWE-agent doesn’t natively support GitLab, but that wasn’t going to stop me—I wired it into my self-hosted GitLab instance so Issues drive the automation end-to-end. The Flow I Built 1. Start with an Issue. When I create an Issue, I describe the task in plain language. For example: “create `/taylor-swift` route that responds with JSON key lucky=13.” 2. Label the intent. Add the label `run:swe` and tag the model (in my case: `model:qwen3-coder-30b-a3b-instruct` from LM Studio). There is also a label swe:in-progress so that the pipeline does not pick up in-progress issues. If the pipeline ne...
