New WordPress Pre-Auth XSS Could Lead to PHP Code Execution - Patch ASAP

WordPress has fixed a pre-authentication reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in its login screen that affects every version of the content management system.

Migrating a WordPress Blog with Claude Code

With the help of Claude Code, I finished a task that I had pushed aside for years in two days: To move away from WordPress for my blog. 1. Background WordPress had served well between 2016 and 2019, when I was still learning how to write apps with a framework like Ember. Over time, however, the annual cost of $48 (plus $28 for the domain, excluding taxes) felt overpriced, given the lac...

Technical Update: Event Bus Refactoring & Migration Enhancements

Architectural Simplification of the Event Bus To maintain a strict separation of concerns, the event bus has been simplified by removing the system signature and device-level routing logic. Its sole responsibilities are now restricted to ingesting events from database webhooks and external sources, buffering them in Redis, handling event migration, and piping event streams to clients for state rec...

Post-Mortem: Why My Hybrid Virtualization Engine Stalled at 20 FPS -- 07 August 26

Building the layout orchestrator for Linkscribe wasn't a simple case of slapping a pre-made library onto a list. It was an ambitious attempt to construct a hybrid rendering stack—wrapping React Virtualized, delegating observer callbacks, and orchestrating DOM updates across dynamic multi-column folders. Having built virtualization engines completely from scratch before—ranging from off-thread Web...

The AI Model Landscape in 2026: who's who and where to start

Let me be upfront about something: this tutorial will age badly. Not the concepts — those hold. But the specific names, the price points, the rankings — the AI model landscape moves fast enough that any comparison table has an expiration date. What's the best model for code today might be second place next quarter. The one that seems expensive now might be the obvious choice by the time you're rea...

What Changes After the First 1,000 Orders: The Engineering Side of Scaling eCommerce

Last updated: August 2026 The first few orders of an online store rarely make anyone think seriously about infrastructure. When there are only a handful of orders, almost any problem can be handled manually: check inventory, correct a status, contact a supplier, or figure out why incorrect information is appearing on a product page. At 10 orders, this is still a perfectly workable model. At 100,...

How to Repair Corrupted PDFs in the Browser with Vue 3 and pdf-lib

A corrupted PDF is one of the most frustrating file problems. You have important content inside, but the document won't open, opens with garbled text, or shows missing pages. The file might be damaged from a bad download, a converter error, or a storage glitch. Recovering content from a broken PDF doesn't require complex forensic tools. Often, the individual pages are still readable — it's the do...

I give up - and here's what building an app for elderly parents actually taught me

I spent a long time building How Are You?! An Android app that quietly watches over an elderly person living alone. No wearable, no button to press, no "are you okay?" popups. You install it once on their phone and forget it exists. It learns their normal day and if it detect anomaly in the behavior, like not moving in the park, to send notification to somebody. I was proud of it. Technically it'...

I benchmarked my language against Rust and Zig, and deleted my best number

I have been building machin for a while — a Go-flavored, type-inferred language that compiles through C to a single native binary. It has grown a lot recently, and I wanted to answer the obvious question honestly: does it beat Rust and Zig at anything? It does, at two things, decisively. But the first thing I found was not a win. It was my own benchmark quietly lying to me, and the number it was ...
