Turning Repo Maintenance into Markdown: Keeping a Rust Codebase Alive with Agentic Workflows
Long-lived repositories drift: deprecated components linger, layers bleed, and tests miss the functions that actually break. In my own study I turned three recurring chores into scheduled markdown workflows the repo runs on itself, then wrote up what I learned about capping blast radius, pairing LLM checks with deterministic scans, and letting agents draft shapes while I write the substance.
Catching a Retry Race with One Seed: Deterministic Simulation in Rust using turmoil
I had three flaky retry tests no one could reproduce on a laptop. I rewrote one in Rust on top of turmoil, Tokio's deterministic simulator, and a single 8-byte seed pinned the partition race byte-for-byte. These are my notes on what the seed actually controls, what leaks past it, and when deterministic simulation testing is worth the seam.
