Recursion in C++ Explained Simply: Base Case, Call Stack, LIFO and Stack Overflow

When I first heard about recursion, I found it a little confusing. A function calling itself? How does that even work? The easiest way to understand recursion is to remember this simple definition: Recursion is a programming technique in which a function calls itself repeatedly until a specified condition is met. That specified condition is called the base case. Let's understand recursion step...

From Silent Reader to 25 Articles: What 3 Months on DEV Taught Me + AMA

📌 TL;DR Three months ago, I decided to start writing consistently on DEV. Twenty-five articles later, I've learned far more than how to write better. I've learned that writing is much more enjoyable when you stop chasing numbers, that some of the best conversations begin in the comments, and that finding your voice takes time. More than anything, I've learned that the topics you're most connect...

Sir Shortoken: Bullet Mode, Local Expansion, and What Actually Held Up

TL;DR: Tested whether representing Claude's responses as bullets instead of prose loses any information. Ran it across 14 technical topics — 24-78% token savings depending on compression level, fidelity held up on 12 of 14 runs, and 2 runs (same topic, three attempts) had the local expansion model fabricate a detail. Built a Chrome extension that expands bullets back into prose locally via Ollama,...

Kiro and the Future of AI-Assisted Development

I started using Kiro at work and am incredibly impressed by how it transforms our AI coding workflow. Instead of writing code first and refactoring later (the typical loop with Copilot and ChatGPT), Kiro uses a spec-driven approach. The Kiro methodology — moving from requirements to technical design to tasks — perfectly solves a challenge I had been trying to fix with GitHub Copilot. I wanted a w...

I Went Looking for Windows GDID. What I Found Was an Entire Identity Stack

I want to start with the moment I felt genuinely stupid. I had been reading Windows privacy threads for years. I assumed I understood the landscape. Advertising ID off, telemetry set to basic, local account instead of a Microsoft account, done. I honestly believed I had the situation handled on my own machines. Then GDID started showing up in my feeds, and I sat down to figure out what people we...

My JavaScript Learning Journey:Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in JavaScript

JavaScript supports Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) through objects, prototypes, and classes. ES6 introduced a cleaner class syntax, making OOP easier to understand and write. In this blog, I'll explain the four pillars of OOP and some useful class features in JavaScript. 1. Inheritance Inheritance allows one class to reuse the properties and methods of another class.

Your agent memory probably isn't portable. Here's the test that proves it.

There's a question every developer building with agent memory eventually asks, usually around month three, usually at an inconvenient hour: Where do my memories actually live, and what happens if I need them somewhere else? It never arrives as a design review. It arrives as an incident. A framework ships a breaking change. Your embedding model gets deprecated. A second agent needs the ninety day...
