По сути, этот блог — просто коллекция всякой разной информации обо мне, моей работе и просто какие-то мысли
A scheduled deployment pipeline can do all the right work and still stop at the last step: waiting for someone to approve its environment access. The obvious fix is to automate the approval. The dangerous version is to make the gate disappear. I wanted the boring scheduled run to proceed on its own, while keeping human approval for everything that did not match that exact case.

After a day of Claude Code sessions on my Windows 11 laptop I find dozens of bash.exe, sed, cat, tail, sleep, find, kubectl and git processes still alive. Nobody is waiting for their output any more. The laptop gets slow and memory fills up.
I did not want to wait for an upstream fix, so I wrote a PowerShell script that finds the leftovers and kills only those. It runs every ten minutes from Task Scheduler and again whenever a session ends. This post covers how it decides what to kill, the one surprise that broke my first design, and what it caught in its first days.

We recently spent the better part of two weeks chasing a bug that, at every step, looked like it simply could not be ours. Same binaries. Same configuration. Same request. One server returned data, the other returned a 500. In the end, the fix was deleting one attribute from one class — and the journey there taught us more about the ASP.NET Web API + Newtonsoft.Json + Sitecore role plumbing than we ever wanted to know.
This is the write-up we wish we could have googled on day one.

I was also experiencing some wrist pain, which prompted me to explore alternatives. That’s when I discovered the fascinating world of split keyboards. My goal was to improve comfort during long typing sessions, benefit from a more ergonomic sitting position, and enhance my posture. I’m happy to report that I’ve achieved these goals! Here’s the story of how I made the switch.
First, I searched the internet for solutions to my problems: reducing hand movement, being able to control the mouse without moving my hand to a separate device, and using a split keyboard for a more relaxed posture.

It exposes several APIs to service you - for example, MsDeploy, zip, zipdeploy. In this post I wish to cover some differences between zip and zipdeploy and how I used zip API to deploy Sitecore Unicorn data.

But, you could not analyze PR's with it by default and have to pay for at least Developer edition. Further you could find my attempt to overcome this limitation (it fulfills MY goals and seems to be worth sharing with broader audience).

The target of this post is to share how to configure Sitecore JSS headless with a Node.js proxy on CentOS and to demonstrate a staging approach for the hosting of the CD role. Since the front-end is rendered on a stand-alone Node proxy, we can easily configure as much backend CD servers as needed, which allows us to deploy CD code on a staging server, and then switch the target server on the Node instance.

While working with Sitecore deployments based on ARM and PowerShell scripts, developed by Rob Habraken (Rob has covered them in a series of blog posts on his own blog) and slightly optimized by me, I noticed that we are having a problem: these scripts are used on a per-project basis and once implemented, they start aging. Since manually updating scripts for each project is a dull and cumbersome task, it usually is never executed. So I decided to build a VSTS release task, which could be reused in each of our projects and makes it easier to always have the latest version of the ARM and PowerShell scripts for a certain Sitecore version.
