The Jekyll Run VS Code extension crashes with 'TypeError: Cannot read properties of null' in multi-root workspaces on macOS. The error is misleading — the real problem is macOS GUI apps don't inherit your shell PATH, so the plugin runs system Ruby 2.6. The fix is rbenv with Ruby 3.3, launching VS Code from a terminal, and understanding why every other approach fails.

My blog serves from the webroot and my resume lives at /resume/ — both Jekyll sites on the same domain in production. Replicating that URL structure locally without a heavy web server required a lightweight reverse proxy and some Jekyll livereload lore.

Kiro's ~/.kiro directory stores powers, hooks, agents, and MCP server configs globally — but there's no built-in way to switch between profiles. If you need a Senior Director persona loaded with Atlassian, GitLab, and observability MCPs running alongside a stripped-down developer persona focused on code, you have to get creative. Here's how the path resolution actually works and three approaches to running both simultaneously on macOS and Windows.

The macOS Dock has a habit of jumping to whichever monitor you accidentally nudge the cursor toward. Here's how to pin it to one display and keep it there.
