My thoughts on work, daily life, and whatever I'm building at the moment.
How Zethic Standardised Server Deployments with CoolifyHow we moved from Ploi to Coolify to standardise Docker deployments, remove direct server access and manage roughly 200 services across 8 servers.
How Zethic Connected Claude to Its Task Tracker with a Plane MCP ServerHow we built an open-source Plane MCP server that lets Claude fetch tasks and update their status in our self-hosted Plane, with setup steps.
Five flights of stairs that restarted my Atomic HabitsI bought Atomic Habits during lockdown in 2021 and didn't finish it until after I'd started going to the gym. Two ideas from it are a big reason why I'm still training more than four years later.
Why I stopped waiting on the tech lead for deploymentsEvery dev deploy at our company went through one person checking servers by hand for free capacity. I found Coolify on a Reddit thread, standardized us on Docker Compose, and cut setup from a day and a half to about two hours. That was the first piece of taking over devops and deployment for the whole company. It now runs 200+ containers across 8+ servers, including my own.
