⚠️ #PostgreSQL #CDC danger: Inactive replication slots can accumulate TBs of WAL, crashing your #database!

New post covers:
WAL retention pitfalls
Monitoring best practices
WAL-based CDC vs Outbox Pattern

Don't let silent #WAL growth take you down 🔥

Fixed a prod crash: Snowflake connector down because private key in Azure had no newlines 🤦

Lesson: use `az keyvault secret set --file` for keys. Never copy-paste!

Even whitespace matters in crypto. Full debugging story: www.lotharschulz.info/2025/10/13/w...

🧪 Tested Kiro IDE - spec-driven AI development vs traditional coding assistants

Key differentiator: EARS requirements + design blueprints before coding

Great security controls but preview limitations.

There’s a new kind of multi-agent development I call “Flow coding”, where you orchestrate a symphony of AI agents and just let them find their groove together. You set the high-level vision, define the boundaries, then step back and watch the magic happen.

Create a weird animals quiz.

I put Claude Sonnet 4 & Google Gemini 2.5 Flash to the test creating "weird animal quizzes."

🚀 Gemini (Canvas): Faster, great look.
⏱️ Claude: Comparable results, but slower.

Both excellent for fast AI prototyping! What are your experiences?

#GoogleGemini #ClaudeAI

Tested Google's new Gemini CLI 🦀

✅ Auto-code generation
⚠️ Sandbox limits external tools
🔧 Highly configurable

I enjoyed security-first vs seamless integration. Shows promise but needs polish.

Just had a lightbulb moment 💡

That complex Python script I built 6 months ago for AI-powered supplier due diligence? Modern AI can now do the same thing through simple prompts.

From Jupyter notebooks + API setup → just copy/paste a prompt into AI.

Spent the weekend hacking on a local AI setup for Linux — no cloud, just llm + Ollama.

Wrote a quick guide if you want to try it too 👇

📢 AI coding tools are creating silent vulnerabilities through "slopsquatting"—where attackers register package names hallucinated by AI.
This attack vector “exploits vibecoding" & targets less technical developers.

Just stumbled upon Google’s new AI tool, Whisk, but sadly it’s not yet available outside of US. Seeing innovation roll out and having to wait is always a little bittersweet. Hoping it becomes accessible soon so we can see what it brings to the table!
