About

What this site is

Dev-Ore is a technical blog aimed at engineers who ship software: concise write-ups on developer tools, AI coding agents, and the machinery around them—VMs and microVMs, containers and OCI, terminals and multiplexers, workflow engines, env/secrets workflows, and the security posture that comes with handing a model a shell.

Posts favor upstream sources (READMEs, specs, docs) over vapor. When something moves fast—CLI flags, release cadence—we say so and point you at the canonical tree rather than pretending the prose is evergreen.

What we care about

• Where workloads run. Linux VMs on the desktop (e.g. Lima), system containers (LXC), Firecracker-shaped isolation when trust is low—all on a ladder next to portable OCI bundles.
• How agents attach to your machine. Minimal terminal harnesses, GUI-forward terminals, YAML workflow engines, multiplexed macOS workspaces—different tradeoffs, same question: what gets a tty, disk, network, and secrets?
• Operational honesty. Telemetry, disclosure, versioning, drift between marketing and code—we note it when upstream documents it.

What we are not

We do not sell courses, churn hot takes for engagement, or replace your vendor support contract. Readers should still validate anything that touches production, secrets, compliance, or safety-critical systems against current docs and local policy.
