Stop Regex-ing User-Agents. Give Your AI Agent a Parser Instead.

I spent years writing regex patterns for User-Agent strings. I thought I was clever. Every time a new browser version dropped or a weird mobile device emerged, my pattern would break, and I'd be back in the terminal, squinting at logs, trying to figure out if that string was a legitimate crawler or a bot attempting to scrape our endpoints. We all know how it goes. You have a massive log file from...

Just how great is it in your organization currently?

In contrast to the thread where people complain about their current org, I thought it would be good to get some examples of organizations that are doing things right in this weird economic era and keep people engaged. It would also be good to know which companies are getting ahead by trusting people and doing good engineering rather than rushing slop to prod. Folks who have it good right now, what...

How to Replace a Google Form With a Real HTML Form on Your Site

Most guides about Google Forms and your website answer a question you did not ask. Search for how to replace a Google Form with your own HTML and you get three kinds of answer. Embed the iframe but style the container. Use a service that hides Google's branding. Or the clever one: build your own HTML form and point it at Google's endpoint, so responses still land in your existing spreadsheet. Al...

Three Things I Ask of a Good Tool

It should be light. It should keep its word. It should be quiet. I started building tools for a living, and it gave me a habit. When something I use annoys me, I follow the annoyance all the way down to find out where it comes from. After a few years of following, my standard for choosing a tool came down to three lines. It should be light. It should keep its word. It should be quiet. F...

# What I Learned from Building with GIS Data and the Copernicus API at the KijaniSpace Hackathon

As software developers, we often spend most of our time building APIs, databases, authentication systems, and web applications. That's certainly been my focus recently, especially working with Go, JWT authentication, and backend services. Last week, however, I had the opportunity to participate in the KijaniSpace Hackathon, held at Zone01 Kisumu, and it introduced me to an entirely different side...

How to Install and Configure the STON.fi SDK

Set up a TypeScript project, connect the required STON.fi and TON components, and prepare a reliable foundation for swaps and liquidity operations. Installing the STON.fi SDK requires more than adding one npm package. The SDK creates and opens the smart contract wrappers your application needs, but a complete integration usually also requires a TON RPC client, the STON.fi API, and a wallet connec...

How to Rescue a Failed Odoo Implementation: A Consultant's Triage Playbook

The call usually comes about eleven months in. Go-live happened, sort of. Finance is still closing the month in a spreadsheet, the warehouse team keeps a parallel notebook, and someone has quietly stopped using the CRM entirely. The system technically works. Nobody trusts it. Odoo rarely fails because Odoo is bad software. It fails because the implementation encoded somebody's misunderstanding of...

I Built Full Team Management Into My Agency SaaS. Here's the Complete Feature Spec.

I've been building Melororium ( https://melororium.com ) — a flat-fee workspace for agencies — for about eight months. The Team section turned out to be one of the densest features in the product. Five tabs, eight distinct data domains, two add-on modules, and one of the trickier design problems I've hit: anonymous feedback that's actually useful. Here's the full breakdown of what I shipped.

OpenAI Agent Used Exposed Credentials Across Four Services During Hugging Face Breach

OpenAI on Tuesday revealed the rogue artificial intelligence (AI) agent that escaped its sealed evaluation environment and broke into Hugging Face's production environment, and also hacked multiple third-party accounts and services as part of the attack. The latest disclosure shows that the security incident, which stemmed from an internal security test, was more extensive in scope than

How do you measure something that gives a different answer every time?

I had a simple-sounding question: does ChatGPT recommend this business? You'd think you just ask it. Ask ChatGPT "best personal injury law firm in NYC", see if the business is named, record yes or no. That works exactly once. Ask again an hour later and you might get a different answer. Not slightly different — potentially a completely different set of firms and a completely different set of cit...

Job postings staying up?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone might have any insights on this. Some job postings for companies seem to stay up forever and I'm curious as to why? I know for a fact that two of these are not just farming CVs or gauging interest, as I have actively interviewed with them, but sadly it wasn't enough (for one of them I actually performed mediocre so I understand). But even months afterwards the same p...

The Hidden Cost of a Log Line : Sync/Async Flush and everything in Between

log.info("user logged in") looks free. It isn't. Behind that one line is a chain of decisions — buffer or not, flush or not, block or drop, same thread or another — and each one trades latency, throughput, and durability against the others. This post walks the whole chain, from the method call down to the bytes hitting the disk platter. If you've ever wondered why your p99 latency has a mysteri...

The file conversion tools I actually reach for (instead of installing FFmpeg again)

Every few months I hit the same wall. A client sends over a .mov file that needs to end up as an .mp4 for a web page, or someone drops a .heic photo in Slack and asks why it "won't open" on their Windows machine. My first instinct used to be brew install ffmpeg and then spend twenty minutes remembering the flags. These days I don't bother unless the job actually needs scripting or batch automation...

Mes premiers pas avec Linux et Git : comment j'ai préparé ma réunion CloudHer

Il y a quelques jours, j'ai réalisé un truc qui m'a un peu stressée : ma réunion de la semaine 4 avec ma mentor Endah Bongo approchait, et le programme prévoyait Linux et Git. Sauf que... je ne maîtrisais pas encore les différentes commandes utilisées. Plutôt que de paniquer, j'ai décidé de prendre les choses en main et de tout pratiquer en direct, une commande à la fois, jusqu'à ce que ça fasse s...

The 8 Most Expensive Unit Conversion Mistakes in Engineering History — and the Software Bugs That Caused Them

TL;DR Eight engineering disasters. Zero arithmetic errors. Every single one was caused by two numbers — both correct, both carefully computed — meaning different things on opposite sides of a software interface. One cost $65 billion. Another killed 28 soldiers because 0.1 can't be represented in binary. The fix is never the math. The fix is the label. There is a particular kind of s...
