For the last few years, I’ve been deeply invested in tech. I started with C++ and Java, eventually moved into web development, built full-stack projects using Next.js, React, Node.js, and Tailwind, and even explored blockchain development through Ethereum-based projects during college. From the outside, it looked like I was already building a solid technical path. But recently, I felt something sh

This post covers how to use the File Search tool end-to-end: creating a store, uploading documents and images, querying with gro

Unlike traditional chat apps, conversations in Zulip stay readable even as teams scale. Recreating this experience can be a bit difficult. Real-time messaging, user presence, inline comments, and notifications usually require
I've built a lot of projects in Python, Go, and Rust.Because of that, I keep reusing the same kinds of code over and over: chunked pandas CSV processing health check endpoints retry wrappers validation helpers rate limiting small bits of glue code that are easy to forget and annoying to rewrite The problem is not that I don't have this code. The problem is that it is spread across a bunch of repos
