Juan TorchiaThe Month Anthropic Didn't Respond: Billing, Trust, and the Hidden Cost of AI API Dependency
A 365-point HN thread gave me permission to say what I'd been avoiding: building on AI APIs carries support and continuity risks nobody discusses honestly. I lived it firsthand on a Friday at 11pm.
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.
Juan TorchiaI Reallocated $100/mo From Claude Code to Zed + OpenRouter: What Nobody Tells You About Switching AI Tools
This isn't just about money. When you switch AI tools, you switch your workflow. When you switch your workflow, you change which projects you dare to start. Here's what I lost, what I gained, and the weird OpenRouter models nobody mentions.
Juan TorchiaClaude Code Routines: Weeks Ignoring It and I Finally Get Why It Matters
I used Claude Code for weeks without setting up a single routine. Assumed it was overhead for people with too much free time. Then a post hit 611 points on HN and I couldn't look away anymore. Here's what changed — and why the resistance was entirely mine.
Juan TorchiaYour Digital Signing Cryptography Has an Expiration Date: What NIST Published and How to Migrate Your HSM
NIST finalized post-quantum standards in August 2024. RSA and ECDSA have a 2035 deadline. If you're signing documents, JWTs, or certificates with an HSM, this affects you right now — here's ML-DSA, what it means for your hardware, and what to do this week.
Juan Torchia9 patrones de TypeScript que eliminan bugs antes de ejecutar el código
Discriminated unions, branded types, satisfies, infer, Result<T,E>, type predicates y mapped types: los patrones del sistema de tipos que hacen que categorías enteras de bugs sean imposibles de escribir.
Juan TorchiaWhat They Learned Building a Rust Runtime for TypeScript — and What I Can't See Objectively
I've burned myself with Rust and spent posts deep in TypeScript patterns. I'm the worst possible person to be objective here. I read every line anyway — and found three design decisions I think are wrong, and one that's genuinely brilliant.

Juan TorchiaLocal MCP Server in 15 Minutes (And What to Do With It After)
I had a local MCP server running in 12 minutes. Minute 13 I just stared at the screen with no idea what to do next. This post is about that moment — and why MCP is the protocol everyone talks about but almost nobody actually understands.
Juan Torchia9 TypeScript Patterns That Kill Bugs Before You Run the Code
Discriminated unions, branded types, satisfies, infer, Result<T,E>, type predicates, and mapped types — the type system patterns that make entire categories of bugs impossible to write.
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 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.
