Why this list is different The "best" email API depends entirely on what you're building. A side project optimizing for the free tier needs different things than a Series B SaaS sending two million transactional emails a month. This post grades eight providers against the criteria that actually move the needle in production, and tells you which one to pick for which use case. Most roundups in th
If you want to Automate GitHub PRs, the real goal is not just adding another bot comment to a pull request. The goal is to give reviewers the context they usually have to gather manually: who owns the service, whether it is deployed, whether basic repository standards are in place, and whether the change looks safe to merge. A useful AI pull request workflow can do exactly that. When a PR opens, i
The task at hand is drawing the circuit schematics for a robot I'm working on. I had already written down the components and the connections, all that's left is to draw it in KiCad. I had already started doing that, but then... I got sidetracked forcing Gemini to create the circuit using KiCad. I would have made progress if I had continued doing it by hand. I spent yesterday trying to generate an

This is part three of a series on display consistency in embedded systems. The first two parts were technical. This one is about why the technical parts worked. The picture: ATtiny85 thermometer. Neural network inference. QUAD7SHIFT display. Built from datasheets. He had datasheets. No Stack Overflow. No libraries to install. No AI to generate boilerplate. No tutorials that abstracted away the in
If you've ever used a bottleneck calculator, you've probably seen a simple percentage telling you whether your CPU or GPU is holding your system back. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize: Bottlenecks are not fixed numbers — they are dynamic, workload-dependent behaviors. In this post, we’ll go beyond basic tools and break down how CPU and GPU bottlenecks actually work in real-world scen
Well, I have been on GitHub since 2019, even before the lockdown. Back then, I did not properly use GitHub. I used to just make projects, upload the code, and share it with friends. But I never really understood the point of GitHub. I think I missed my tutorials on GitHub. But now, I’ll share some key ways to actually make the best out of it. Your GitHub profile is not just a bio page. It is your
