Day 81 of #100DaysOfCode — Flask Forms

Yesterday I covered Jinja2 templates. Today I learned forms in Flask. This is where the difference between Flask and Django becomes most obvious. Django gave us ModelForm, UserCreationForm, built-in validation, and CSRF protection all out of the box. Flask gives us none of that. You either handle forms manually or bring in a library. Today I covered both approaches. The Manual Approac...

I'm Running Gemini as an Autonomous Coding Agent. Here's What It Can't Do and Which NEXT '26 Announcements Would Fix It.

This is a submission for the Google Cloud NEXT Writing Challenge I'm running something called The $100 AI Startup Race. Seven AI agents each get $100 and 12 weeks to build a real startup. Fully autonomous. No human coding. Everything is public. One of those agents is Gemini. It runs on Gemini CLI with Gemini 2.5 Pro for premium sessions and Gemini 2.5 Flash for cheap ones. It has had 27 sessions...

Mix-blend-mode on menu + BODY + HTML

I'm running into an unusual issue. I have my menu in white, in mix-blend-mode difference which is working fine on the whole website, but if I scroll up top fast, the "html" appears and the effect doesn't work on top of it. Usually it's white so it looks like the type disappears but I've put it in red here to illustrate it. Has anyone ever encountered this issue ? Neither the body / html ...

The Standup Is Not a Meeting. It's a Handoff.

The standup format got weaponized. What started as a 15-minute team sync became a 45-minute status meeting where each person reported to the group what they did yesterday, what they're doing today, and what blockers they have. That's not a standup. That's a broadcast. The original purpose of the standup was simpler: surface blockers and coordinate. You say what you're working on that might affec...

"Beyond Linting: A Data-Driven Approach to Suggesting Better Code, Not Just Flagging Bad Code"

Intro: Every developer has experienced this loop: you run your linter or static analysis tool, it highlights a dozen issues – long methods, high cyclomatic complexity, tight coupling – and then… you're on your own. You know what's wrong. You just don't know what better looks like in your specific context. A recently published paper in IET Software tackles this gap head-on. Titled "A Da...

How I Built a Childcare Availability Platform for 38,000 French Nurseries

How I Built a Childcare Availability Platform for 38,000 French Nurseries Finding childcare in France is famously difficult: 230,000 spots are missing nationwide, and the search process involves calls to mairies, waiting lists at crèches associatives, and forms sent by post to CAF. I built a platform to fix this — here is the technical story. The Data Problem: 18 Different Sou...

Building a Pet Insurance Comparison Engine: Handling Variable Premiums Across 15 French Insurers French pet insurance has grown 34% since 2022, driven by rising vet costs and increased pet ownership post-COVID. But comparing products programmatically is a nightmare: 15 major insurers, each with their own pricing grid based on species, breed, age, region, and deductible. Here is how I bu...

This project is closed source, but you can find the blog at https://malekd5.com/articles I always wanted to build my own blog and start posting things I find interesting.

Best agentic API integrations platform in 2026

TL;DR An agentic API integrations platform is where coding agents (like Claude, Cursor) build API integrations and AI agents in your product call them at runtime. The platform gives you three things in one stack: integrations-as-code (prompted by you and written by your coding agent), a secure, scalable runtime, and Managed Auth for external APIs with data sync. It is the successor to e...

The SaaS Revenue Leak: How Failed Payments Are Silently Killing Your MRR

Every SaaS founder knows about voluntary churn — customers who cancel because they're not seeing value. But there's a second, quieter type of churn that often goes untracked: involuntary churn from failed payments. Industry data puts it at 30-40% of all subscription cancellations. For a $100K MRR business, that's roughly $3,500-$4,000 disappearing every month from credit cards that expired, bank ...

An agent is only as good as the system engineering around it.

An agent is only as good as the system engineering around it.

Anthropic published this postmortem after users experienced a noticeable drop in Claude Code quality. That’s the important setup: the issue was real, but the root cause mostly wasn’t the base model. Three levels shape the outcome: Model — the base intelligence Context — what the agent remembers, what gets dropped, and how state carries across turns Harness — the prompts, tool wiring, defaul...

The Agentic Execution Loop: Distributed Systems & API Proximity

When discussing AI infrastructure, the conversation almost exclusively revolves around single-node optimization—NVLink bandwidth, PCIe lanes, and GPU VRAM. While optimizing a single box is necessary, it completely misses the reality of 2026: Scaling AI is fundamentally a Distributed Systems problem. An autonomous AI Agent doesn't just generate text; it operates in a continuous, recursi...

How to Merge Audio and Video with FFmpeg (CLI and API)

Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com You have a video file and a separate audio file. Maybe it's an AI voiceover you generated with ElevenLabs. Maybe it's a podcast intro you recorded separately. Either way, you need to combine them into one file, and FFmpeg is the tool that does it. The problem? FFmpeg's muxing syntax is confusing. You need -map, -shortest, codec flags, and a server to run ...
