Today I started learning Python, and I explored some fundamental concepts that helped me understand how Python actually works behind the scenes. Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language. Being high-level means it is easy to read and write, as it is closer to human language and abstracts away hardware complexity. This makes it very different from low-level languages like assembly or
The cost incident that started this Three weeks after we put our chatbot into production, I opened the OpenAI billing dashboard on a Monday morning and stopped breathing for a second. One session — not one user, one session — had burned through roughly four times the daily budget for the entire app. Over a single afternoon. The session wasn't malicious. It was a test account someone forgot to lo
In this guide we’ll build a Decentralized, Autonomous Vacation Booking System in Python using the Protolink library. The original post can be found on medium (Level-up-coding). The landscape of AI agents is shifting. We are moving away from monolithic scripts driven by a single giant model, towards Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) where specialized, autonomous agents collaborate to solve complex problems
The Nightmare of Parsing Invoices If you’ve ever tried to extract structured data from an invoice or receipt, you know exactly how painful it is. You write a perfect regular expression to extract the total amount from one vendor. It works beautifully. Then, a new vendor comes along with a slightly different format, and your regex silently fails, breaks your pipeline, and leaves you cleaning up
Just wrapped up the core setup for my e-commerce API (Impextech): Auth, Products, and Users. Everything is running on Node.js, Express, and TypeScript. Instead of just getting it to work, I spent this week focusing on security, keeping the code clean, and fixing some annoyances in my dev environment. Here’s a breakdown of what I built and a few "gotchas" I learned along the way. I split everythin
SMS remains one of the most reliable communication channels available today, with open rates exceeding 90%. Whether you are building an OTP SMS API for authentication, setting up transactional alerts, or automating marketing workflows, a robust SMS API integration is a powerful addition to any stack. In this tutorial, we will explore how a REST SMS API works and walk through a practical implementa

A LinkedIn recruiter pitched me a remote "Software Engineer at a DEX" project this week. Reasonable comp range, tech stack squarely in my wheelhouse. After a couple of friendly exchanges, she asked me to "review the codebase before the technical interview" and sent me a GitHub repo link plus a Calendly invite for the call. The repo was malware. It didn't get me, but it's something developers shoul
