Been using Cursor and Claude a lot recently and noticed one major problem:

Once the codebase grows, they start losing context badly.

Random edits.

Duplicate logic.

Missing abstractions.

Pulling unrelated files into context.

So I built an open source codebase intelligence layer for AI coding agents.

It indexes the repo into:

dependency graphs

git intelligence

auto-generated docs

architectural decisions

And exposes everything through MCP tools so agents can actually understand the codebase before generating code.

Also has a local dashboard to explore large repos visually.

Would genuinely love feedback from devs here.

Spent a few days recently setting up Wazuh for a client firewall rules, certs, detection tuning, indexer issues, random breakages

None of it is particularly “hard”, but getting it to a point where alerts are actually meaningful (and not just noise) takes way longer than expected.

- Initial deployment can be sped up with tools, but the real time sink seems to be:

- tuning rules

- reducing false positives

- figuring out what actually matters for that environment

It made me realize the install itself is maybe 20% of the work ,the rest is just iteration.

Curious how people here approach this: Do you rely on prebuilt rules and refine over time, or build things more from scratch? Btw I used this it helped get things up quickly, but honestly didn’t change the tuning grind much after that

spent ~3 days last month trying to get Wazuh fully running for a client firewall rules, certs, tuning detection rules, fixing random breakages, configuring the indexer… none of it is “hard” but it’s insanely time-consuming and of course the client just expects it to be live asap ended up trying deployer type tools out of frustration and it basically spun up a working Wazuh instance on Hetzner in a few minutes pre-tuned rules, hardened setup, everything just there honestly felt weird not fighting configs for hours i know “just use managed/cloud” isn’t a popular take here, but when you’re not getting paid for 3 days of setup, paying ~€20-30 to skip the headache starts making sense curious how others handle this are you all still doing full manual setups every time or using something to speed it up? For those who are asking or will ask i used this tool .Feels like there has to be a better middle ground between doing everything manually and just throwing money at it what are you guys doing in practice?
