I split Amar Khata into five clean repos like a responsible adult. Then I read my own git history and realized I'd been hand-carrying context between them for a month. Here's how I merged them into one monorepo without losing a single commit—and why the agent's context window is the new module boundary.

Flutter is moving plugins off CocoaPods to SPM. Here's the exact layout it demands, how to keep both toolchains working at once, and the one-word class-name typo that was silently breaking flutter build web for everyone using my package.

Every YouTube quiz failed on staging. Every pasted-text quiz passed. The bug was a marker our own pipeline inserted, a validator that couldn't see through it, and Go's \s quietly refusing to match a non-breaking space.

claude-gate blackholes claude.ai in /etc/hosts, drops the traffic at the packet filter, and makes my shell refuse to run the CLI. Not to block a company. To block me. Default state is off — and turning it on has to be a decision.

A trial balance that doesn't balance isn't a report — it's a lie with a total at the bottom. So I made an unbalanced journal entry physically impossible to commit, with a DEFERRABLE constraint trigger.

I published pusher_reverb_flutter because the official Pusher SDK didn't fit Laravel Reverb. Then real servers taught me five reconnect bugs, two kinds of ping, and one protocol that lies in its own documentation.

A shop owner on a 3G connection taps "record sale" twice. Idempotency keys are supposed to make that harmless. Mine did — right up until both requests arrived at the same time.

Every multi-tenant app is one forgotten WHERE clause away from showing Shop A the customer list of Shop B. So I stopped trusting myself to remember, and made the database refuse.

Grep is the most expensive habit your coding agent has. Here's what actually moved the needle for me — a code graph instead of file scans, a contract file instead of re-explaining, and a skill that makes the model talk like a caveman.

A quick guide to using isolates in Flutter to keep your UI responsive during heavy computations.
