Open source quietly powers everything from your terminal to your favorite frameworks, yet maintainers are often underfunded.

In 2025, CodeRabbit distributed over $600,000 directly to OSS maintainers, and we’re just getting started!

Is blogging dead in 2026? Not even close, but the game has changed.

AI bots are eating traffic, "AI slop" is everywhere, but your authenticity? That's your only moat.

I stopped fighting the AI wave and started surfing it. Here's how I'm blogging in this AI era.

Oops, I just f* up my phone completely. Who every thought it was a good idea to have a glass back and front?!?!

Thought to replace the back myself, but instead of one piece, it became >1000 pieces and broke. 🤷‍♂️

At least, the phone is a couple of grams lighter.
