Here is what the 2025-11-25 revision and the current draft actually change, why durable async tasks are the real story, and how to build for it without rewriting twice.Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/claude-code-enterprise-orchestration/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/claude-code-enterprise-orchestration/How Claude Code's sub-agent model, hook system, MCP integration, and worktree isolation compose into a production-grade orchestration layer for multi-system enterprise workflows — with architecture patterns, failure modes, and a practical implementation checklist.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/promql-optimisation-high-cardinality/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/promql-optimisation-high-cardinality/Concrete PromQL optimisation techniques for platform engineers operating at high cardinality: label matchers, recording rules, histogram strategies, aggregation ordering, and failure modes that silently degrade query performance in production.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/latex-masterclass-week-1/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/latex-masterclass-week-1/A clear, honest introduction to LaTeX for researchers, PhD students, and technical writers: what it is, how it differs from Word and Google Docs, why typesetting quality matters, and when LaTeX is the right tool — and when it isn't.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/ai-agent-credential-security/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/ai-agent-credential-security/Concrete attack vectors, secrets management integration, filesystem sandboxing, agent identity patterns, and the production failure modes that credential-bearing AI agents introduce — written for engineers building or operating them.Sun, 31 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/tikz-pgfplots-publication-quality-figures/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/tikz-pgfplots-publication-quality-figures/From first principles to production-ready diagrams: how to use TikZ and pgfplots correctly for journal and conference figures, including coordinate systems, styling architecture, common failure modes, and externalization for large documents.Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/mcp-tool-chaining-production/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/mcp-tool-chaining-production/Beyond the demo — concrete patterns for MCP server design, tool chaining economics, idempotency, and the architectural trade-offs that determine whether an agentic workflow survives production.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampohttps://ivanocampo.com/blog/opentelemetry-migration-production/https://ivanocampo.com/blog/opentelemetry-migration-production/Concrete collector topology decisions, SDK migration patterns, tail sampling configuration, cardinality budget management, and rollback architecture for teams migrating from proprietary agents to OpenTelemetry in Kubernetes production environments.Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTIvan Ocampo
