simonw/browser-compat-db

simonw/browser-compat-db Inspired by Mozilla's new MDN MCP service - source code here - I decided to try converting their comprehensive mdn/browser-compat-data repository full of browser compatibility data into a SQLite database. This new GitHub repo includes a Claude Code for web (Opus 4.8) generated script for doing that using sqlite-utils. I wanted the resulting ~66MB SQLite database to be available via the GitHub CDN with open CORS headers. GitHub releases don't have those, but any file…

Quoting Tom MacWright

In the last few months, I've started to see [job applications] that were clearly cowritten by an LLM, link to an LLM-generated portfolio site, which then links to LLM-generated GitHub projects, with purely LLM-generated commit messages. [...] My other reaction is that I don't know anything about these people. They haven't put themselves out there. They haven't said anything true. [...] The perfected, generated, prompted resume is generic and impersonal. It tells me nothing about this person,…

Asterisk 22.10 Breaks Record App

I have been using Asterisk for many, many years. Today I release some new code, and upon code release we automatically update Asterisk to the latest version. All of a sudden, I started getting reports from customer service letting me know that recording voice mails was no longer working. I started looking into it and […] The post Asterisk 22.10 Breaks Record App appeared first on PHP Architect.

Stop Getting Good at Protocols. Get Good at Agent Experience.

In 2025, if you weren’t building with MCP, you weren’t serious about agents. The Model Context Protocol dominated the agent conversation for the better part of the year. Conference talks, roadmaps, hiring plans, all of it revolved around MCP. Then late 2025 into 2026, AI Skills arrived and the backlash was immediate. Engineers declared MCP […]

Frontier AI Is Now Critical Infrastructure Récent

Frontier AI Is Now Critical Infrastructure

Following its abrupt order on June 12th suspending global access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, the U.S. government's national security clampdown on Anthropic has escalated. The models, initially taken offline due to safety guardrail "jailbreaks," are now at the center of a total federal blackout that has completely re-defined the landscape of cloud-based AI vendor dependencies. The situation hit a boiling point when a front-page report from ⁠The New York Times revealed that even the National…

OPFS + Pyodide test harness

Tool: OPFS + Pyodide test harness I've been pondering if Datasette Lite - the Python Datasette application run entirely in the browser using Pyodide and WebAssembly - might be able to edit persistent SQLite files stored on the user's computer. That's what OFPS (Origin Private File System) is for, so I had Claude Code for web build me this playground UI to try it out in different browsers. Tags: browsers, pyodide, datasette-lite

Neovim PHP Development Setup

If you’ve ever watched a colleague fly through code in NeoVim and thought “that looks fast but I’d never figure out the config,” the barrier to entry has dropped significantly. LazyVim — a NeoVim distribution that ships with sensible defaults and a plugin manager — gives you a fully functional IDE experience within minutes, with […] The post Neovim PHP Development Setup appeared first on PHP Architect.

The Code You Didn't Write Is Still Yours to Defend Récent

The Code You Didn't Write Is Still Yours to Defend

Recently I asked an AI assistant to tidy a messy spreadsheet and chart the result. Nothing exotic. To do the work, it spun up a sandbox, pulled a handful of open source packages into that environment, and ran them. I didn't write any code. I didn't ask for any code. Packages I had never seen were fetched and executed on my behalf, and it was over in seconds. That was a software supply chain event. It happened in a workflow that no scanner, no registry proxy, and no review process was watching.…

Principal Drift Récent

Principal Drift

Over the past year I’ve reviewed enterprise agent architectures at roughly two dozen organizations, including banks, retailers, healthcare systems, and a couple of regulators. The architecture diagrams have been reliably impressive. There are boxes for the MCP gateway, the tool registry, the vector store, the orchestrator, the policy engine, and the observability stack. There are […]
