Last Tuesday I lost about three hours to a regression in our checkout service. The cart total was off by a cent on certain promo combinations, and the only signal was a Slack ping from finance with a screenshot. No stack trace. No exception. Just wrong numbers. I did what I always do first. I opened the diff for the last deploy, scrolled, squinted, and tried to feel my way to the bug. Forty minute
Il y a quelques années, au lycée (entre 2022 et 2025), un professeur m'a donné le déclic pour l'informatique. Je passais mes journées sur des forums à décortiquer le fonctionnement des réseaux et de la sécurité. Mais j'ai vite été frappé par une réalité : apprendre la tech aujourd'hui demande souvent de "donner un organe". Il faut une connexion fibre, un abonnement coûteux, et surtout, on laisse s
A correct JWT verifier does eight things. Most production verifiers I have read do four or five of them. The other three or four get skipped because the library defaults aren't loud about them, the docs gloss over them, or someone copied a "it works" snippet from Stack Overflow circa 2018. Here is the full eight-check list, what each one prevents, and what it looks like to implement them with stru
I Built a VS Code Extension to Bring IntelliJ’s “Show History for Selection” Experience If you come from IntelliJ, you probably miss one super useful feature in VS Code: Show history for selected lines. I built a new extension to solve exactly that. Show History for Selected Code This extension helps you inspect Git history for a specific code selection, not just the whole file. Shows commit h
Microsoft's 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' Tag: Unpacking the Strategic Play for AI Dominance in VS Code The persistent insertion of 'Co-Authored-by: Copilot' into commit messages within VS Code—often irrespective of GitHub Copilot's active contribution to specific changes—is far from a benign engineering detail. It represents a calculated, multi-faceted strategic maneuver by Microsoft, signaling a pr
I have a bad habit of jumping between projects. It's not a big deal. But it happens every single day. So I built rewind. rewind That's it. No setup, no IDE, no agent loop burning through tokens. Just one binary, one command, one LLM call. cargo install git-rewind GitHub: https://github.com/Chronos778/git-rewind Would love feedback — on the idea, the UX, anything. Still early days.
If you use GitHub's merge queue and had a rough week around April 23rd, 2026, you were not imagining things. Your code actually disappeared. Not because of a bad commit, not because of a rogue team member, but because GitHub itself quietly deleted it. This is the story of what happened, why it was way worse than the official numbers suggest, and what it means for the way we all trust the tools we
Introduction In Part 1, we successfully moved the resume from a local editor to a live URL. But an empty repository is like a house without a front door, functional, yet inaccessible to those looking in. In this second installment, we’re going back into the terminal to master the art of the README. I’ll show you how to turn a folder of code into a polished, technical portfolio that speaks for it
