Every few years the industry rediscovers that programming languages are not religions. Then we immediately behave like they are religions. Someone posts a benchmark. Someone else says memory safety. Someone says developer experience. A distributed systems person appears from under a bridge and whispers “Erlang solved this in 1998.” A startup founder announces they are rewriting their CRUD app in R
“I’m 11, I don’t have a CS degree, Here’s how I built an extension with AI” I had a problem. Every time I had an idea, I’d think: “I should write that down.” By the time I opened Notion, my mind had already moved on. I’d lose the idea. This happened constantly. I’d be in a meeting, get an insight, and realize 5 minutes later I never captured it. So I started testing different apps: Notion: Too slo
Or: how we learned that “eventually” isn’t good enough when you’re bleeding file descriptors Or: how we learned that “eventually” isn’t good enough when you’re bleeding file descriptors Deterministic cleanup means knowing exactly when resources are freed — the difference between memory chaos and predictable system behavior in production environments. So our video transcoding service was… how d
Our goal has always been to be the go-to blockchain node platform across any chain and environment. Today, that includes the nodes you run on your own hardware. Running your own Ethereum infrastructure should be the basic right of every individual and household. Nodes should be easy. The catch? Self-hosting has always meant complexity. Manual setup, client updates, nodes falling out of sync, moni
JS Trace Table As JavaScript continues to dominate the global software landscape, a new specialized tool, JS to Trace Table, has launched to redefine how developers and students master logical execution. Developed by Md. Anisur Rahman, this interactive platform automates the traditionally manual process of "desk checking," offering a high-fidelity visual environment for real-time code analysis.
TL;DR — Superpowers and Compound Engineering aren't competitors. They're optimised for different worlds. Superpowers is gold for mature codebases with established methodology (TDD shops, large legacy systems, teams enforcing standards). Compound Engineering is gold for early-stage products where one person owns a feature end-to-end. Pick by what your codebase looks like, not by which README sounds
The Challenge of Scalable Secrets Management in GitHub Actions For development teams scaling beyond a handful of repositories, managing environment-specific variables and secrets in GitHub Actions can quickly become a significant bottleneck. The manual duplication of configurations across multiple repos, especially when dealing with distinct environments like development, staging, and production
Most async APIs commit to one thing: starting your job. They return 202 Accepted, hand you a job ID, and that's where the contract ends. The rest is your problem. I do something different. I make one promise: When your job is done, I'll tell you accurately. Until then, I'll keep retrying. That's the entire contract for everything I've ever shipped. It sounds small. In practice, it's the only thing
