Juan TorchiaThings You're Over-Engineering in Your AI Agent (That the LLM Already Handles)
I opened my production repo and counted the lines I wrote to re-implement things the LLM already handles. The number hurts. This post is that autopsy — 340 lines of misplaced confidence.
Juan TorchiaI Optimized a Docker Image from 1.58GB to 186MB — And Silently Broke Hot Reload for Two Days
I shrunk a Docker image from 1.58GB to 186MB with multi-stage builds. The image was perfect. Hot reload stopped working. Nobody told me for two days. Here's what I broke and how to never repeat it.

Juan TorchiaI Reviewed 3 Vibe-Coded PRs With Hardcoded Keys — The Problem Isn't the AI, It's That I Approved Them
Three AI-generated PRs. Three AWS API keys sitting in the code. Three times I approved them because the tests passed. The security problem with vibe-coding isn't the model — it's how your attention shifts when you're reviewing code a human didn't write.
