The Hard Part of AI PR Review Is Not Reading the Diff
A practical look at Alibaba OpenCodeReview, why diff-only AI review is not enough, and how to use AI reviewers without trusting them too much.
I Let an AI Agent Write Code for a Week. Here's What Actually Worked.
A week of testing OpenHands, the autonomous AI coding agent, on real projects: what worked, what failed, and the setup that made it reliable.
Signed React Native Android APKs from GitHub Actions
A GitHub Actions pipeline that decodes a base64 keystore from repository secrets and produces a signed React Native Android APK on every push.
Optimizing Android Builds in GitHub Actions
Android builds in GitHub Actions run 10-30 minutes unoptimized; layered Gradle and Yarn caching plus scoped environment secrets get that down to a few minutes.
Build and Push Docker Images to Quay.io with GitHub Actions
A working GitHub Actions workflow that builds a Docker image and pushes it to Quay.io using a scoped robot account and repository secrets.
Retry mechanisms for flaky CI and Docker builds
Wrapping curl, bundle install, and Docker builds in retry logic turns transient network failures in CI into automatic retries instead of full pipeline restarts.
Building and Deploying pgpool Images with GitHub Actions
A GitHub Actions workflow that builds multi-architecture pgpool images for several versions in parallel and pushes them to GitHub Container Registry.
GitHub Actions Variables: env, Contexts, Secrets, and Matrix
How GitHub Actions variables work in practice: env blocks, context variables, secrets, matrix strategies, and passing step outputs between steps.
