Last month I launched Site2PDF — converts any website to PDF, PNG, JPG or ZIP. Here's the entire tech stack, because the choices might be useful if you're building something similar. Paste a URL → get a PDF of the whole page (or the whole site). Free plan gives 5 archives/month, all formats, cookie banner removal. Paid starts at $9/mo for 15 archives and 200 pages per site.

Technical Beauty — Episode 34 Open the sudo CHANGELOG and search for the word "security". Make a cup of tea first. The list is rather long for a tool whose entire job is to ask three questions: who are you, what would you like to run, and may you. In July 2015, Ted Unangst grew tired of negotiating with the sudo configuration on OpenBSD and wrote his own. He called it doas: dedicated OpenBSD appli
Building a Translation Pipeline for International Contract Bidding If your company bids on international contracts, you've probably dealt with the translation bottleneck. Technical proposals need precise translation, certified documents have strict formatting requirements, and procurement deadlines don't wait for anyone. After seeing how UK public procurement translation requirements can make or

From a beginner’s perspective, this means Go catches many errors during compilation, giving you cleaner, faster, and more predictable performance at runtime. Go is widely used for: API development CLI tools Microservices architecture Backend server. DEVOPS activity So it fits perfectly with the kind of
If you've tried building an AI agent in the last six months, you've hit the same wall: there are half a dozen frameworks, each with a different philosophy, a different API surface, and a different definition of what an "agent" even is. I spent a weekend writing the same simple agent — "read a GitHub issue, classify it as bug/feature/question, and post a comment" — in six different frameworks. This

A deep, opinionated, practical guide for the engineer who has crossed the mid-level threshold — or is about to. The mental models, technical habits, ownership patterns, communication skills, and career mechanics that separate "solid senior" from "engineer the whole team builds around." Grounded in 2026 reality — AI-augmented coding, distributed async teams, post-ZIRP efficiency pressure, and a mar
One thread. Multiple AIs. Deliberation, not polling. Most people use AI like this: 🤦 Ask one model → get one answer Ask multiple models → compare results That’s not thinking. That’s polling. Not side by side. Not isolated. But in sequence — where each one reads what the previous one said before responding. Manual Council is the simplest form of that idea. No backend. No orchestration. No
