How to Use ICS Export to Turn Task Lists into Blocked Calendar Slots

·2 views

Exporting tasks to a calendar via ICS files allows users to convert project plans into concrete, time-blocked schedules, helping counter the planning fallacy. The process involves assigning time estimates to each task in a task manager, then exporting them as a standards-compliant .ics file that most calendar apps can import natively. Users can import the file into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar by uploading it through each app's settings menu and verifying that events appear at the correct times. Automation options include forwarding daily email attachments to a calendar address or using tools like Zapier to trigger exports each morning without manual steps. Common pitfalls such as missing duration fields, time-zone mismatches, and duplicate event IDs can cause import failures and should be checked before bulk exporting.

Sekiban Framework Lets Developers Run C# Business Logic as WebAssembly via WasmRuntime

Sekiban, an event sourcing framework for C#, now supports running existing business logic as WebAssembly through its SekibanWasmRuntime component. In this setup, command handlers execute on the API side while state-building projectors and list queries run inside a Wasm environment on the server. Events are stored in PostgreSQL, with the Runtime managing execution and storage separately from the application's business code. Developers can reuse existing C# logic with minimal changes, primarily adding a Wasm entry point, type registration, and remote connection configuration. The current implementation supports C# and Rust natively, with experimental support for Go, TypeScript, MoonBit, and Swift.

SeenDisJob Chrome Extension Flags Duplicate Job Listings in Real Time

Developer Wisdom Ekwugha has built SeenDisJob, a Chrome extension designed to help job seekers identify duplicate or reposted job listings while browsing. The tool monitors open job listing tabs and alerts users when a current posting closely matches one they have already viewed, displaying when and where the earlier listing was seen. It targets high-volume job seekers who frequently work across multiple job boards and encounter reposted or mirrored roles. SeenDisJob extracts job title and company name from each listing page and compares them against a personal browsing history to detect near-identical matches. The project is open-source under the MIT license and is available via GitHub rather than the Chrome Web Store.

Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor: A Developer Breaks Down Which AI Tool Saves Time

A full-stack developer has compared three leading AI coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — evaluating them on real-world criteria beyond raw code generation speed. The analysis focuses on how each tool performs across the full development loop, including understanding codebases, catching edge cases, writing tests, and maintaining architectural consistency. Cursor is highlighted as best suited for fast, editor-integrated edits on frontend tasks, while Claude Code is favored for deeper reasoning, backend logic, and planning complex refactors. The developer cautions that tools generating the most code are not always the most time-saving, as poorly guided AI can introduce scattered edits and inconsistent patterns that create cleanup work later. The key takeaway is that the fastest tool is the one that reduces decision fatigue without obscuring the underlying engineering work.

How to Use SDLC Gates to Catch Bugs in AI-Generated Test Code

AI tools can generate test code rapidly, but without proper checks, these tests may include hallucinated assertions, irrelevant logic, and silent regressions that only appear in production. A proposed framework treats AI-generated tests as untrusted input and routes them through four mandatory quality gates before merging. The four gates cover execution validity, meaningful code coverage, behavioral accuracy via mutation testing, and drift detection using snapshot or approval testing. Each gate is enforced through CI pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, Jest, Stryker, and coverage utilities. The approach aims to let teams benefit from AI-assisted testing while preventing low-quality or misleading tests from reaching production.
