A good week ago I hosted the monthly T-SQL Tuesday blog party. I invited the community the blog about the idea of what would happen if we would need to go back on-premises, after a good decade of cloud computing. What would you need to do? How do you plan for this? What are the skills you might need to (re-)learn? You can find my take on this here, where I’m telling my junior colleagues that troubleshooting issues on-prem is more challenging, because it’s possible you need to go way down, all the way to Kerberos, SAN and DNS issues.And…
Angular 22 stabilized the Signal Forms API, and with it comes the need to debounce user inputs.What’s debouncing?The most common use case for debouncing is form inputs that require an HTTP request for some input validation or data request (an auto-complete dropdown, for instance). The idea is that instead of triggering an HTTP request every time the user changes the input value, we wait a bit to see if the user will type another character.That way, we avoid making multiple useless HTTP requests to the server by delaying them. Here is an example of a debounced input:We can see that the…
Anthropic pulled back a planned billing change for its Claude Agent SDK on June 15 — the same day the change was supposed to take effect. The company’s message to subscribers was short: Nothing changes for now.The reversal came as a relief to developers who build automated agents on top of Claude. But it’s probably temporary. Pricing for Anthropic’s Claude Agent SDK isn’t changing for the time being, and Anthropic hasn’t said when a revised plan might show up.What Was Supposed to HappenThe original plan, announced in mid-May, would have split Claude usage into two buckets. Chat conversations and the…
The at command lets you queue a one-off task to run once at a specific time, so you don’t have to write and then remember to delete a cron entry for something you only need to run once. You’ve probably used cron to schedule tasks and then realized the job only needs to run once. A common example is giving a vendor temporary SSH access to a production server for troubleshooting. You might open the firewall for their IP address and plan to remove the rule a few hours later. The problem is that it’s easy to forget. Production issues…
Here is a situation most engineering leaders recognize. You roll out AI coding tools. Features ship faster. Developers are more productive. Then, a few months in, you realize something unexpected: the engineers you most wanted to free up are busier than ever. They are reviewing PRs, firefighting regressions, juggling a dozen half-shipped features and the edge cases that came with each one.AI made them more efficient. It also made them ten times more busy.The bottleneck did not disappear. It moved. And it moved to exactly the place most teams are least equipped to handle quickly: verification.This is the problem that…
