SpecKit: When Process Theater Meets Reality

Me: "Would analyzing my actual repo help evaluate if SpecKit is genuinely useful or just a security blanket?"

Claude: "Yes, let me look at the evidence."

Some context: I've been using GitHub's SpecKit for spec-driven development - the idea that you write elaborate specifications, plans, and task breakdowns before coding, and the AI follows them to prevent mistakes. Sounds great, right?

But I had a nagging feeling it was just making me feel productive without actually preventing problems. So I asked Claude to evaluate it using concrete evidence from a real project we built together: a SpecKit updater tool for Claude Code.

Adding a custom CA Certificate to a Container Running Java

If you’re working with containers running Java applications and need to add a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate for secure communication, you can follow these steps. This guide assumes you are familiar with containers and have basic knowledge of working with YAML files.

Problem Space

GROKKING NOTES

I liked the way Grokking the coding interview organized problems into learnable patterns. However, the course is expensive and the majority of the time the problems are copy-pasted from leetcode. As the explanations on leetcode are usually just as good, the course really boils down to being a glorified curated list of leetcode problems.

So below I made a list of leetcode problems that are as close to grokking problems as possible.

.gitkeep

A .gitkeep file tells github to do the opposite of its default behaviour, which is to ignore empty folders.

If you want to track an empty folder, or a folder with untracked files, create a 0kb file with the .gitkeep file extension in that folder.

touch FOLDER_NAME/.gitkeep

	Recording Rule Example 1
	================================
	# Aggregating up requests per second that has a path label:
	- record: instance_path:requests:rate5m
	expr: rate(requests_total{job="myjob"}[5m])

	- record: path:requests:rate5m
	expr: sum without (instance)(instance_path:requests:rate5m{job="myjob"})

	Recording Rule Example 2

	Open file below, tested with the version 4.17 and 4.18:

	/Applications/pgAdmin\ 4.app/Contents/Resources/web/config.py

	and then find the line contains: "MASTER_PASSWORD_REQUIRED" and change the parameter into "False"
