Mathematical Determinism: Overcoming the Lisp Parenthesis Odyssey in Production
When a standard container build compiles successfully but triggers a production HTTP 503 Upstream Connection Failure, trial-and-error debugging fails. Here is how we isolated temporal telemetry and used string-aware static analysis to achieve absolute AST balance.
REPL vs nREPL — Why Clojure's Live Programming Is a Superpower
Deep technical dive into the REPL and nREPL — how they work at the protocol level, why Clojure's architecture enables live programming, and how every other language ecosystem falls short. With D2 diagrams.
Designing a Machine-to-Machine Job Application Protocol
A deep dive into the M2M Job Application Protocol — eliminating browsers, CAPTCHAs, and manual portals from the recruiting pipeline using JSON-LD schemas, decentralized discovery via DNS, Ed25519 cryptographic identity, and signed application packages built with Clojure and Babashka.
Headhunter-Agent: Full Tech Stack of a Local-First Multi-Agent System
A deep dive into the full tech stack of headhunter-agent — a local-first, privacy-preserving multi-agent system for job hunting built in Clojure.
Debugging GitLab Pages: Hardcoded Paths, HTTPS Domains, and Self-Healing CI/CD
Two issues broke my CI/CD pipeline and HTTPS domain on nurazhar.com: a hardcoded local resume path in the static site generator, and an incomplete GitLab Pages SSL certificate for the custom domain. Here's the forensic breakdown.
Building an AI Butler: A Post-Mortem From Inside the Architecture
I shipped a Hermes-class personal AI butler in Clojure/Babashka. Five risks hit me while building. Three had architectural fixes. Two did not. Vector at the end.
The Entropy Collapse Thesis — Why One Tool, Why Clojure, Why LLMs as Compiler
One engineer's argument for minimizing cognitive entropy by collapsing the toolchain into the smallest possible surface area — Clojure/Babashka as the substrate, LLMs as the compiler, and why inheritance is a design violation.
pdpa-sg-clj: Compliance-as-Code for Singapore's PDPA, Readable by AI Agents
A new public Clojure + Babashka toolkit that turns the 11 Singapore PDPA obligations into a self-ticking checklist, a Mod-11 NRIC redactor, and a ripgrep-backed scanner an AI agent can read end-to-end.
Debugging a Missing Blog Post — Quickblog Cache & YAML Frontmatter
How a missing blog post revealed a silent cache bug and a YAML format incompatibility that crashes quickblog's tag generation.
From Python to Babashka: Rewriting a Crypto ETL Pipeline in Clojure
A hands-on walkthrough of porting a Python + SQLite crypto price tracker to Babashka (Clojure scripting runtime) — covering the ETL design, the JDBC trap I hit, and why shelling out to sqlite3 turned out to be the cleanest solution.
How a Single ".env" in allowed-extensions Could Leak Your Secrets to LLMs
A three-layer defense-in-depth fix for an AI context bundler that was accidentally including .env files in LLM context.
Leaky Layout Abstractions: Fixing Template Scope Leaks in Static Site Compilers
A technical post-mortem on how custom standalone layouts leak unparsed compiler directives to the client, and how to resolve it at the pipeline layer without dependency bloat.
Designing a Zero-Configuration, Zero-Admin Developer Sandbox for Career-Switchers
How to build a zero-configuration, zero-administrator local development environment running Django and React on Windows 11 to help adult tech-learners bypass environment installation friction.
Decoupled Static Dashboards: Building Transparent roadmaps in Public
How to build and serve interactive, public project roadmaps natively to readers at zero compute cost using static compiler pipelines.
Quickblog: The Zen of Minimalist Static Site Generation
An architectural breakdown of Quickblog, the minimalist static site generator powered by Babashka, and why zero-database static HTML is the ultimate design choice.
How to Maximize Clojure Usage & Minimize Token Quota on Antigravity IDE
A guide on managing token quotas and optimizing LLM usage for Clojure development in Antigravity.
Hello Clojure!
Welcome to my Clojure automation journal, hosted natively using Babashka and Quickblog.
