Back in 2020, I proposed a #[sensitive] attribute for functions which handle transient secrets. I'm also the author of the zeroize crate. I'd like to revisit that proposal, particularly as we continue to struggle with…
I love Claude Code, but I use it so much that I regularly exhaust my weekly quota before the week ends. When that happens, I usually switch to other free-tier CLIs, e.g., Google Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, and, just…

Every RAG tutorial ends at the same place: chunk the documents, embed the chunks, insert the vectors, ask a question. That is day one. On day two someone edits a document, and nothing in the tutorial tells you what to…
Documentation and package metadata only; no code changes. The security fixes are in 3.8.2: if you're on 3.8.1 or earlier, upgrade for them (see the v3.8.2 release). npm install @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@^3.8.3 What…
