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...

Kubernetes Taught Me About Relationships

December 05, 2025

I didn’t expect my infrastructure choices to teach me anything about human relationships. Then I started living in Kubernetes-land long enough to notice a weird truth: Good systems and good relationships fail for the same reasons—and succeed for the same ones. This is not a rigorous scientific claim. This is a developer’s field notes from the strange little overlap between love and distributed systems. 1. Clear boundaries prevent chaos Kubernetes is obsessed with boundaries. Namespaces, RBAC, network policies—everything is designed around the idea that you shouldn’t casually wander into places you don’t belong. Relationships work that way too. Healthy connections don’t happen because there are no boundaries. They happen because boundaries are clear, respected, and negotiated with care. Ambiguity is where systems and hearts both start throwing exceptions. 2. Least privilege is kindness In software, least privilege is a safety measure. In relationships, it’s also kindness...
