Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD)

The Fusion: VDD × TDD × SDD for AI-Native Engineering

Overview

Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD) is a unified software engineering methodology that fuses three proven paradigms into a single AI-orchestrated pipeline:

• Spec-Driven Development (SDD): Define the contract before writing a single line of implementation. Specs are the source of truth.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD): Tests are written before code. Red → Green → Refactor. No code exists without a failing test that demanded it.

Native Secure Enclave backed ssh keys on MacOS

It turns out that MacOS Tahoe can generate and use secure-enclave backed SSH keys! This replaces projects like https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive

There is a shared library /usr/lib/ssh-keychain.dylib that traditionally has been used to add smartcard support to ssh by implementing PKCS11Provider interface. However since recently it also implements SecurityKeyProivder which supports loading keys directly from the secure enclave! SecurityKeyProvider is what is normally used to talk to FIDO2 devices (e.g. libfido2 can be used to talk to your Yubikey). However you can now use it to talk to your Secure Enclave instead!

step 1: jailbreak your Kindle

mobileread.com is your best resource here, follow the instructions from the LanguageBreak thread

I didn't really follow the LanguageBreak instructions because I didn't care about most of the features + I was curious to do it myself, but the LanguageBreak github repo was invaluable for debugging

Webflow + Firebase user authentication

You can find a demo at https://webflow-authentication.webflow.io/sign-up.

1. Set up Firebase authentication

Log in to Firebase console. Create a new app and from the left side menu, under Develop, navigate to Authentication. Enable Email/Password sign-in provider. After this, create a Web application under the current Firebase project and copy the given firebaseConfig object.

2. Create Webflow pages

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C?
