Write utilization now available in ISR Observability

The now shows subscribers a write utilization metric, helping identify routes that regenerate often but receive few requests. Write utilization is the ratio of cached requests to ISR writes. For routes with low write utilization, consider increasing the revalidation interval or switching to on-demand revalidation to reduce costs.ISR Observability pageObservability Plus You can also compute write utilization using the Vercel CLI, or use agents with the skill to investigate.cdn-caching Learn mo

However, the Power Automate flow wasn't running, and we discovered the following. activitypointer Cannot Be Used as a Dataverse Trigger Due to a Dataverse platform constraint, it is not possible to register a trigger (callback re

Post-Mortem: Building a Local MCP Server for Codebase Memory using Ollama and ChromaDB

Developers are pushing back against cloud API billing and the privacy risks of sending proprietary codebases to third-party endpoints. A Hacker News thread from this year put it plainly: the problem isn't the price per token, it's the unpredictability of usage-based billing when AI agents are continuously polling APIs. On Reddit, the privacy concern is starker -- for enterprise and defense work, sending company IP to OpenAI or Anthropic is a hard no regardless of cost. zerikai_memory has a local

Three AI Agents That Actually Write Code for You (and How to Use Them)

I got tired of copy-pasting snippets from ChatGPT If you're still bouncing between your editor and a chat window, asking an LLM for code and then manually wiring it into your project, you're doing it the hard way.

They don't just autocomplete—they plan, edit, test, and iterate. I've been testing three agents that plug directly into real workflows: GitHub C

Off-Screen Hobbies Every Developer Should Explore

Because your brain needs a break from debugging life, not just code. If you're a web developer, you already know the drill: on-calls, stand-ups, testing, launch days, back-to-back meetings. You just want to vibe out and code, but the day has other plans. By the end of the day, you're craving no-screen time. Maybe you've felt it too: that specific kind of numb that comes from having your flow state interrupted over and over, whether by demands, deadlines, or meetings that could've been an email.
