## Posts

- [The hard part of a self-service agent platform isn't the agents](/blog/self-service-agent-platform-hard-part.md) (2026-06-06): Gartner expects 40% of enterprise apps to ship AI agents by end of 2026. After building AgentHive at JFrog, I think generating the agent is the easy part.
- [Boost compressed 212M tokens out of my agent sessions. Here are the receipts](/blog/boost-faster-agents-faster-ci.md) (2026-05-20): Boost wraps every CLI my agents touch. Across 964 sessions it compressed 212M tokens (63.4%) and saved $1,060. The three pillars and what they actually do.
- [Why every Ghostty tab said 'Claude Code' (and the 30-line zsh hook that fixed it)](/blog/ghostty-tab-titles-claude-code.md) (2026-05-07): Every Ghostty tab said 'Claude Code'. Two configs and a 30-line zsh hook turned the tab bar back into useful navigation across 4-pane workflows.
- [Claude Code hooks: the half of Claude Code nobody uses](/blog/claude-code-hooks-the-half-nobody-uses.md) (2026-04-16): Skills feel like capability. Hooks are enforcement. Inside: the full event reference, 10 real hooks (one cuts tokens 73%), and the enterprise patterns nobody writes.
- [ForgeCode vs Claude Code: which AI coding agent actually wins?](/blog/forgecode-vs-claude-code.md) (2026-04-07): Claude Code's speed was driving me and my team crazy. I tried ForgeCode. The speed was real. Now I'm running both.
- [Cursor 3 shipped parallel agents, but is any of it new?](/blog/cursor-3-parallel-agents.md) (2026-04-03): Cursor 3's parallel agents existed in v2 via worktree config. Users report $2,000 bills in two days. The real story is cost opacity and unsolved context sharing.
- [Undercover mode, decoy tools, and a 3,167-line function: inside Claude Code's leaked source](/blog/claude-code-source-leak.md) (2026-04-02): Anthropic shipped a source map in Claude Code v2.1.88, exposing 1,700+ files, undercover mode, decoy tools, and a 3,167-line function. Then they DMCA'd 8,100 repos.
- [I found my database password in a Claude Code session file](/blog/found-database-password-in-claude-code-session.md) (2026-03-30): How finding leaked credentials in a Claude Code session file led me to build Claudoscope, a macOS menu bar app for session analytics, cost tracking, and secret scanning.
