Wabi-Sabi and Whitespace: Eastern Philosophy for Web Design What I learned from studying traditional aesthetics that completely changed how I build interfaces Last year, I spent three weeks in Kyoto. Temples everywhere. One rainy afternoon, I ducked into a small museum dedicated to traditional craftwork. I wasn't expecting much. I'm a web developer, not an art historian. But something clicked. T
We Rewrote Our Angular 18 App in React 20 and Increased Developer Velocity by 40% Last quarter, our engineering team made the bold call to rewrite our 3-year-old Angular 18 production application in React 20. After 6 months of development, we cut over to the new stack with zero downtime, and the results have exceeded our expectations: we’ve measured a 40% increase in developer velocity, alongsid
Why Figma MCP Isn’t Enough Why Figma MCP Alone Can’t Guarantee Production-Ready UI — and What Product Teams Must Do Instead Extraordinary results require an extraordinary team. I’m surrounded by people who treat design and development like a mission. They are warriors in the tech trenches, and this win belongs to them. No fluff. No filler. Just the facts on how we shattered our veloci
White labeling is more common than you might think. When developing software, you often need to deploy the same application for multiple clients, each requiring their own customization: unique color palettes, logos, or specific variants for a link. Without a proper strategy, you might be tempted to simply clone the existing repository and implement client-specific changes on demand. However, this
Firefox Extension Icons: Sizes, Formats, and SVG vs PNG The icon is the first thing users see in AMO search results and the add-ons bar. Getting it right matters. For a complete Firefox extension, provide icons at these sizes: { "icons": { "16": "icons/icon-16.png", "32": "icons/icon-32.png", "48": "icons/icon-48.png", "96": "icons/icon-96.png", "128": "icons/icon-128.png"
Try this. Find a photo on your phone that you love. Now squint, or zoom out until it's the size of a stamp. It's still the same photo. You can still tell what's in it. But something about it has gone a little flat — the part that made you take it in the first place has quietly walked out of the room. Most of us would describe what just happened with a shrug: "it's just smaller." But the truth is m
When most developers want to scan their code for security vulnerabilities, they install Semgrep or Snyk and call it a day. I did the opposite. I built one from scratch. Not because the existing tools are bad — they're excellent. But because I'm transitioning from 13 years of software engineering into application security, and I wanted to understand what a SAST tool actually is underneath the hood.
