• Meta's Astryx: Is This the Rust-Powered Successor to React Native? — Meta open-sourced Astryx — a Rust-based mobile runtime that could replace React Native's JS bridge. I dug through the repo, built a hello-world, and here's what it means for cross-platform in 2026.

• OSINT with Sploitas: What I Found About My Own Digital Footprint — I ran OSINT tools on myself \— emails, accounts, data brokers, the works. Here\’s what surfaced and the exact cleanup steps I took.
• Why Every Builder Needs an MCP Server (My Top 5 for Claude Code) — Claude Code without MCP servers is a calculator. With the right 5 servers — GitHub, Playwright, codebase-memory-mcp, filesystem, and Context7 — it becomes a full development team. Configs included.
• AI Testing That Actually Works: TestSprite Setup (After Trying Everything Else) — After Cypress selectors breaking, Playwright scripts rotting, and AI testing tools overpromising — TestSprite is the first AI QA tool that caught real bugs in my vibe-coded apps. Full setup walkthrough.
• I Gave My AI Agent a Design System (Refero Styles + DESIGN.md) — I fed Claude Code a Refero Styles design system and built the same mini app twice — once with raw prompts, once with DESIGN.md. Here's the actual before/after output and whether it matters.
