When Google announced the Manifest V3 deadline, the developer community had a lot to say — most of it negative. The service worker model was rightly criticized as a regression for ad blockers and complex extensions. I've now migrated 18 extensions from MV2 to MV3, or built them MV3-native from the start. The commonly documented issues (no persistent background pages, limited webRequest) are real.
The Autonomous Paradox In 2026, we’ve moved past simple chatbots. We are building Production-Grade RAG pipelines and autonomous agents that can plan, execute, and iterate. But as an architect, I’ve noticed a glaring hole in our "Agentic" future: Identity Sprawl. We are giving agents non-human identities (NHI) with "Full Admin" permissions just to ensure the RAG works smoothly. We are effectively
SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE & REFACTORING 3 Domain-Centric Architectures Every Software Architect Should Know The first concern of the architect is to make sure that the house is usable; it is not to ensure that the house is made of brick. — Uncle Bob The expression domain is occurring in software bibles for a very long time now and is heavily discussed in the book Domain-Driven
Or: what broke on my first three attempts so you don't have to repeat it I've built two prediction markets from scratch. The first one crashed on testnet. The second one launched but had zero users for two months. The third one? Actually works. Here's what I learned in the process. Ask yourself three boring but critical questions: Binary outcomes (Yes/No) or multiple choices? Who decides the trut
What if your Kubernetes cluster simply refused to run unsigned images? I spent some time experimenting with enforcing image provenance in a small Kubernetes setup using MicroK8s. The idea was simple: Only container images with valid cryptographic signatures are allowed to run in the cluster. For this I used: GitLab CI/CD (build + signing pipeline) Cosign / Sigstore (image signing) Kyverno (admissi
What Should Humans Design When AI Can Write Most of the Code? AI can now write code. Not perfectly. Not always safely. Not without review. But it can write a great deal of code. It can generate functions, create tests, call APIs, build UI components, handle common errors, and produce large amounts of implementation detail at a speed no human developer can match. This changes the meaning of prog
Manifest V3 Is Here — And It Broke Everything Google's Manifest V3 migration deadline has come and gone. After migrating 17 Chrome extensions from MV2 to MV3, I've compiled every pitfall, workaround, and lesson learned. If you're still migrating — or building new extensions — this guide will save you weeks of debugging. The problem: MV3 replaces persistent background pages with service workers.
المشكلة لو بتكتب عربي وإنجليزي مع بعض في أي موقع، البراوزر بيتلخبط في الاتجاه: جملة زي "مرحبا API بتاعك كويس" — كلمة API بتتعكس وتتقرأ غلط بسبب الـ Unicode Bidi Algorithm. المشكلة دي مش في موقع معين — هي موجودة في كل المواقع. حتى Claude.ai وChatGPT نفسهم بيعانوا منها. بدل ما نضبط dir="rtl" على الـ element بس، عملت BiDi parser حقيقي يقسّم النص: "مرحبا API tools بتاعك" ↓ tokenizer [arabic]
