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
SQL is widely known for data querying and manipulation but systems do grow; data becomes larger; processes become repetitive and operations become sensitive. SQL has some features which enables it to be considered a fully fledged programming language. Some of the features which I discuss in this article are procedures, functions and transactions. Each of these concepts serve distinct purposes. Sto
Hi 👋, In this post we shall explore Bedrock's structured KB with this architecture: Upload CSVs to S3 > SNS Queue > Crawl data with Glue > Query with Redshift > Bedrock KB > Query with LLM. Let's do some of this with code. Let's get started. Clone the repo and switch to the project directory. git clone [email protected]:networkandcode/networkandcode.github.io.git cd structured-kb-demo/ Do a uv sync
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.
Subqueries vs. CTEs in SQL: A Practical Guide to Writing Cleaner, Smarter Queries Whether you're just getting comfortable with SQL or leveling up your data skills, two tools will come up again and again when working with complex queries: subqueries and Common Table Expressions (CTEs). They solve similar problems — breaking a complex query into manageable pieces — but they do it in different ways
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
