How I hardened a 730K-pull public Docker image from Scout grade D to OpenSSF Scorecard 7.8. Multi-stage build, cosign signing, SLSA provenance, non-root default, and the incident that changed how I ship attestations.

How removing Google Analytics 4 from an Astro site unlocked Lighthouse 100, why Cloudflare Web Analytics replaced it, and what the tradeoffs actually cost.

Over half of AI-enabled apps on major backends carry severe misconfigurations. A hands-on analysis of the 300M-message Firebase breach, the insecure default that caused it, and the 3-layer Operational Discipline Protocol — with specific tooling — to shut down Agent Sprawl before regulators do it for you.
