Box of Secrets: Discreetly modding an apartment intercom with Matter
My friend Frank (not his real name) hosts a lot of guests at his apartment, and his complex’s intercom is what ushers them inside. You’ve probably seen them before, they look like this: The Doorking 1834-080 intercom at Frank’s apartment. Up until recently, guests could find Frank’s number in the system and give it a […]

I Created My First AI-Assisted Pull Request and I Feel Like a Fraud
I created my first AI pull request for Chroma, which is the default syntax highlighter used in Hugo. I used Claude Code for that PR. I didn’t learn anything. I felt like I was flinging slop over the wall to an open-source maintainer. I felt like a fraud and my impostor syndrome got worse. But […]

Cloudflare’s Gen 13 servers: trading cache for cores for 2x performance
Two years ago, Cloudflare deployed our 12th Generation server fleet, based on AMD EPYC™ Genoa-X processors with their massive 3D V-Cache. That cache-heavy architecture was a perfect match for our request handling layer, FL1 at the time. But as we evaluated next-generation hardware, we faced a dilemma — the CPUs offering the biggest throughput gains […]
The Resolv hack: How one compromised key printed $23M
On March 22, 2026, the Resolv DeFi protocol became the latest example of how quickly things can unravel in DeFi when security assumptions fail. In a matter of minutes, an attacker was able to mint tens of millions of Resolv’s unbacked stablecoins (USR) and extract roughly $23 million in value, triggering a sharp de-peg and […]
Hacker Mints $80M USD Worth of USR Stablecoins
A hacker has exploited Resolv Labs’ smart contract, where it was able to mint at least $80 million worth of USR stablecoins. As a result of the hack, USR crashed to $0.025, i.e., 2.5 cents, within hours. The stablecoin is unlikely to emerge after an 80% de-peg similar to Terra Luna’s UST. However, the hacker […]

Whistler: Live eBPF Programming from the Common Lisp REPL
A string of recent experiments around observability and security for agentic AI systems led me down the eBPF rabbit-hole. When I emerged, I came back with a full optimizing compiler for a Common Lisp-based DSL for eBPF called Whistler. Whistler lets you write shorter code, with less ceremony than eBPF C code, and still produce […]
