AI coding assistants are everywhere now, from chat windows to CLI Agents. After using a bunch of them, my biggest takeaway is: no single Agent is the best at everything.

I mainly use Claude Code, Google Gemini CLI, and Moonshot Kimi Code day-to-day. At first I treated them as standalone tools, but soon realized that was a waste — each has distinct strengths, and if you let them collaborate and delegate tasks based on those strengths, the results are much better. I call this approach Agent Mesh.

Here are my observations and thoughts.

In containerized deployments, sometimes you need all outbound traffic from a container to go through a specific network exit. Tailscale’s sidecar pattern makes this possible: a Tailscale container acts as a sidecar, other containers share its network namespace, and traffic flows through a WireGuard tunnel via a remote exit node.

This setup is well-documented for Docker Compose, but migrating to nerdctl (containerd) introduced a series of pitfalls. Here’s what I ran into so others can avoid the same traps.

My long‑serving Raspberry Pi 4B has finally met its “successor” — the compact Intel NUC. From ARM to x86, from a TF card to an SSD, this seemingly simple hardware upgrade has brought a qualitative leap to my tinkering experience.

git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files in a git repository.

Here is a demo of how to use git-crypt to encrypt files in a git repository.
