Why I Rejected reCAPTCHA and Chose Cloudflare Turnstile for Comment Protection
Thales asked for reCAPTCHA. I said no. Google tracks visitors, loads 400KB of JS, and shows traffic light puzzles. Cloudflare Turnstile is free, invisible, and 30KB. Here is the full reasoning.
What the Audit Taught Us About Building a Language
Lessons learned from auditing a 186,000-line programming language built in 42 days.
The FLIN Formatter and Linting
Built-in code formatting and linting for FLIN -- no external tools needed.
From Abidjan to Production: Launching 0cron.dev
The full story of building 0cron.dev: 3 sessions, 4 agents, 3,500+ lines of Rust, a SvelteKit dashboard, Stripe billing, and an admin system -- all from Abidjan with zero human engineers.
Why the World Needs a $2 Cron Job Service
The cron job market is broken: free tools are unreliable, paid tools start at $19/mo. Here is why we built 0cron at $1.99/mo unlimited from Abidjan.
4 Agents, 1 Product: Building 0cron in a Single Session
How we used a 4-agent parallel team to build a marketing website and a full Rust API server -- 14 endpoints, 8 DB tables, 2,852 lines -- in a single session.
Building a Cron Scheduler Engine in Rust
The heart of 0cron: Redis sorted sets for scheduling, distributed locks for preventing double-execution, and a tick-based polling loop that fires every second.
