GitHub Repo Stats

Tool: GitHub Repo Stats One of the things I always look for when evaluating a new GitHub repository is the number of commits it has... but that number isn't visible on GitHub's mobile site layout. I built this tool to fix that, using this prompt: Given a GitHub repo URL or foo/bar repo ID show information about that repo absorbed via wither REST or graphql CORS fetch() including the number of commits in the repo and other useful stats Example output for simonw/datasette and simonw/llm.

5 Malicious NuGet Packages Impersonate Chinese UI Libraries to Distribute Crypto Wallet and Credential Stealer

Socket's Threat Research Team discovered five malicious NuGet packages published under the account bmrxntfj that typosquat widely used Chinese .NET UI and infrastructure libraries. Each package grafts a .NET Reactor protected infostealer payload onto a decompiled copy of a legitimate open source library. The stealer targets saved credentials across 12 browsers, 8 desktop cryptocurrency wallets, 5 browser wallet extensions and exfiltrates to a newly-registered C2 domain. Across all versions, the…

Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like

I recently talked with Joseph Ruscio about AI coding tools for Heavybit's High Leverage podcast: Ep. #9, The AI Coding Paradigm Shift with Simon Willison. Here are some of my highlights, including my disturbing realization that vibe coding and agentic engineering have started to converge in my own work. One thing I really enjoy about podcasts is that they sometimes push me to think out loud in a way that exposes an idea I've not previously been able to put into words. Vibe coding and agentic…

Eating My Own Dog Food: How I Used the Framework to Write the Post About the Framework

In “Don’t Automate Your Moat,” I argue that engineering organizations should match AI autonomy to two independent dimensions: business risk and competitive differentiation. I used AI Gateway cost controls as a worked example throughout the piece because a single feature touches all four quadrants depending on which piece you’re building.
