What VoidZero shipped in Vite+ 1.0, a unified vp command for Vite, Vitest, Oxlint, Oxfmt, tsdown and caching tasks, and the pros and cons we're weighing for Foambyte.

The guard rails behind AI-assisted development at Foambyte: CLAUDE.md as a contract, pinned skills, permission denies, diff review, audits and deploy gates.

How Foambyte runs 330+ Vitest integration tests against an in-process Postgres 18 with PGlite in about 10 seconds, including multi-tenant isolation tests.

Why Foambyte moved from SQLite to PlanetScale Postgres 18 with TimescaleDB through Cloudflare Hyperdrive, and the playbook for a short, verifiable cutover.

Why I moved Foambyte's API from Docker Swarm to Hono on Cloudflare Workers, and the middleware chain for rate limiting, CAPTCHA, sessions and plan gating.

How Foambyte's React frontend and Hono API share one type-checked contract in a Turborepo monorepo: Drizzle, drizzle-zod, zod-openapi and shared route paths.

Why I built Foambyte as a React 19 SPA packaged with Capacitor instead of React Native or Next.js, and the TanStack Query pattern that keeps it maintainable.

Designing Foambyte's brewing recipe engine: an ordered chain from volumes to OG, IBU, attenuation, FG, ABV and SRM, built as pure TypeScript functions.

How Foambyte's React SPA and Hono API ran on a VPS: multi-stage Docker builds for a Turborepo monorepo, a Bun runtime, nginx, Traefik and Docker Swarm.

How Foambyte's React app and Hono API share code in a pnpm + Turborepo monorepo, why path aliases broke Docker builds, and the setup that works.

How Foambyte kept recipe edits working offline: a persisted TanStack Query cache, a last-write-wins patch queue, and one merge function shared with the server.

How I test Foambyte's brewing calculators with Vitest and Zod: reference values, round trips, behavior checks and 330+ tests for IBU, SRM and CO2.

I started Foambyte with ArkType and switched to Zod. The deciding factor wasn't speed or syntax but integrations: drizzle-zod, zod-openapi and TanStack Form.

Why Foambyte uses better-auth with Hono and Drizzle instead of Clerk, Auth0 or Supabase Auth, and how cookie sessions work across the web and Capacitor apps.

Why I turned on the React Compiler (RC) in Foambyte's React 19 + Vite app, how to set it up with Babel and ESLint, and the rules I follow so it can do its job.

Building a real-time Vigenère cipher web app in Rust with Sycamore, Trunk and WebAssembly, without writing a single line of JavaScript.

How to implement the Display trait on a generic array in Rust, working around the orphan rule with the newtype pattern and const generics.

Refactoring Ruxel's vector and point types with generics, supertraits, subtraits and trait bounds to make the code more idiomatic and extensible.

Part 1 of building Ruxel, a ray tracer in Rust: high-level architecture, project scaffolding, and the vector and point types.

A detailed walkthrough of how I set up my Rust development environment in Neovim, with rust-analyzer, rust-tools, Tree-sitter and Vimspector debugging.

Introducing Ruxel, a ray tracer and 3D renderer I'm building from scratch in Rust, why I chose it as a project, and my goals for version 0.1.0.

How Rust lets you overload arithmetic operators on your own user-defined types by implementing traits, using vector addition as the running example.
