Not only is Nerine a beautiful flower, it's a powerful static web application testing tool that allows you to send a pre-defined web request and verify the response matches your expectations. If you need a simple, reliable, affordable, non-AI enabled alternative to Postman that let's you keep your API keys and other secrets local, you should checkout Nerine, https://lcisec.dev/products.

This is what I've been working towards for two years: a high-fire wild clay mixture without any store-bought or studio-supplied ingredients.

This mini bottle, minus the glaze, is made entirely from clays that i dug out of the ground, and it survived a cone 10 firing without melting or even slumping.

Now that I know it works, I can try actually making something big with it.

At this point we need something like a fork of Firefox called Kitfox or something. Small, lightweight, no integrated AI, no integrated VPN, just a web browser please.

If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

This is incredible! 1000% worth reading to the end

When a coworker asks me to explain Unix commands...
there's this article about knuth and literate programming and word count with early unix shell tools which is echoing very much my sentiment or the article about "hello here's my awk script and it's 135 times faster than your hadoop cluster" and instead of really taking a deep look "what do you REALLY need" people are always "that never works in a PROFESSIONAL environment" and then you look at established companies and it's all dusty perl (or equivalent) in a dark corner running the business

I'm looking for beta testers for Nerine, a static web application testing tool. I built Nerine for testing web applications in CI/CD pipelines but recognize it has other uses such as web application monitoring and acting as a guardrail for vibe coding web applications. If you would be interested in beta testing Nerine, providing feedback, and discussing Nerine publicly, whether good or bad, please reach out to me.

You can download the user manual at https://lcisec.dev/manuals/nerine-ent if you want to learn more about the product.

It's been a little over a year since I blogged, but it's for good reason. I've been heads down writing a lot of code and it's been quite the journey from Web Application Starter Pack nine months ago, to Nerine today.
