Build Log: While setting up my project, I noticed repeated npm package fetch requests during installation. Instead of assuming something was broken, I checked the logs and confirmed the packages were being downloaded from the npm registry with a successful 200 OK response. Every debugging session is a chance to understand the tools better. :

🔧 I spent about 6 months in an electronics repair shop while I was at school.

So when I built a website for a repair shop (a concept project), I asked: what do customers actually want to know?

👉 “What’s wrong with my device?” 👉 “Is it ready yet?”

I turned those into a symptom checker and a repair status page.Live demo: https://me.aleex.workers.dev/work/bench-and-byte/

I just found out how hard it is to build canvases with nodes. I have to pay respect to those who work on these tools consistently

One operation. A typed client, a REST API, and an AI tool.

That is the idea behind Dendra, TechFoundry’s open source TypeScript framework.

We built it around shared procedure definitions so validation, middleware and business logic follow the same execution path across application APIs and explicitly enabled AI tools.

Our new case study explores typed clients, REST, OpenAPI, streaming and MCP integration primitives, including why AI tool exposure is opt in and authentication stays under application control.

Dendra is released under the MIT license and is still pre 1.0.
