My Audiobooks

Books have always been my passion, but over time I have come to enjoy ebooks and audiobooks, too. With ebooks, I can highlight passages at a tap, and audiobooks keep me company on the road or while I tackle chores. Below is a collection of my audiobooks. Though I have not listened to each one yet, I can offer a brief glimpse into what each offers.

Vibe Coding Didn’t Replace the Job. It Just Moved Where the Real Work Is.

I had a demo video with no narration and a stack of AI tools that could hand me a working script in about the time it takes to make coffee. I used them. I’m not going to pretend otherwise, and I’m not going to apologize for it either — that would be its own kind of dishonesty, and I’ve got no patience left for either the “AI wrote my whole app” victory laps or the “real programmers don’t need that” gatekeeping. Both are posturing. Neither describes how the work actually got done.

The Encrypted Credential Vault: Zero-Knowledge Security at MyDigitally.app

Product Update · Security Narrow Medium Wide 🌙 Dark mode The Encrypted Credential Vault: Zero-Knowledge Security at MyDigitally.app How we built military-grade encryption into your digital legacy — and audited the rest of the platform to match. What Just Launched A new Encrypted Credential Vault has been successfully pushed to the project. Think of this like a mini-1Password or Bitwarden built right into the app. When you view an asset, you can now securely attach passwords, API keys, or private notes to it. Before this code went live, the latest updates from other teammates (the Friends feature, security docs, and styling tweaks) were safely pulled in and combined with it. Zero-Knowledge Security: How It Keeps Your Data Safe The core philosophy here is “Zero-Knowledge.” The server (and anyone running the database) has absolutely no idea what your passwords are. Here is exactly how that works, in plain English. 01 Your

How to Mount an External Hard Drive on Linux

On Windows, plugging in a drive gives it a letter like E:\ automatically. Linux doesn’t — it makes you mount the drive, which just means: attach the drive’s contents to a folder on your filesystem.

Picture your Linux filesystem as one big tree starting at /. An unmounted drive is a box sitting on the floor, not connected to anything. Mounting grafts that box’s contents onto a folder — a mount point — so that opening the folder means you’re looking inside the drive.
