Java Snippet - Using SecureRandom
A better random number generator ```java
import java.security.SecureRandom; ... public static SecureRandom random = null; static { try { random = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG"); random.setSeed( random.generateSeed(256) ); } catch( Exception e ) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
From Solo Tool to Team Infrastructure: Scaling Gluon for Production
When I first built Gluon on my Mac mini, I was solving a personal problem: monitoring Claude agents without losing my mind to tmux logs. But when teams join the picture, everything changes—security, governance, observability, and the fundamental role of the developer. Here's what production infrastructure for autonomous agents looks like.
Ralph Loop: Teaching AI Agents to Work Autonomously (Without Burning Your Budget)
How Gluon's Ralph Loop enables autonomous Claude execution with built-in safety rails — circuit breakers, multi-signal completion detection, and cost controls that scale from simple tasks to complex workflows.
Scraper MCP: Context-Efficient Web Scraping for LLMs
I built an open-source MCP server that reduces LLM token usage by 70-90% through server-side HTML filtering, markdown conversion, and CSS selector targeting. Here's why context efficiency matters—and how Scraper MCP solves it.
