Azure Outage Triage, Browser MCP, Code Security, and Agent Tools

These five projects sit at different layers of the development stack, but they share a practical theme: giving developers better context before they change code. One is for distinguishing an application failure from a platform outage. Two help agents work with browsers and source code. The remaining projects explore running existing workloads on Azure and creating a self-hosted workspace for…

Five projects connect at various points in the development stack with a common goal: providing developers with enhanced context before they modify code. The first project, Microsoft 365 Status and Azure Service Health, separates Microsoft 365 incidents from Azure-specific alerts, aiding in distinguishing application failures from platform outages.

The second project, Open Orange, runs Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects on Azure and other platforms without requiring code changes. The third project equips coding agents with browser-level debugging capabilities, such as console output and network requests. The fourth project introduces an AI-assisted security validation gate for identifying and addressing code vulnerabilities.

The final project creates a self-hosted, Slack-style workspace for teams and AI agents to collaborate effectively.

Polling Video Status Before Download Into a Privately Controlled Bucket

Short answer: treat generation as a submitted job, not a completed video. Poll with exponential backoff and a hard deadline, obtain the download URL only after success, and copy the bytes into a…

  • Poll video status with exponential backoff and timeout
  • Store video bytes in privately controlled bucket after moderation
  • Keep moderation gate and never attach bearer token to download URL

Why Your 10 W Attenuator Failed at 5 W

A 10 W attenuator running at 5 W continuous should be the least interesting part on the bench. It still comes back. When it does, the report usually says "overpowered", and the test log says 5 W, and…

  • 10 W attenuator fails at 5 W due to real-world conditions
  • Operating temperature and VSWR affect power rating
  • Proper mounting and frequency considerations crucial
