Agentic Coding Is Not a Trap: I Answered the Viral HN Post With My Own Production Logs I made the exact mistake that viral post criticizes: I gave an agent an ambiguous task and went to make coffee. Came back 40 minutes later to 23 modified files, three broken tests, and a refactor nobody asked for. I'm not telling this to complain — I'm telling it because that day I started keeping logs of my a
PostgreSQL Query Rewriting Techniques The previous articles in this series covered performance problems you fix by adding indexes, restructuring joins, or tuning memory. This one is about the queries where the plan is "fine" — every node is doing something reasonable — but the query itself is asking the wrong question, producing unnecessarily large intermediate results or forcing the planner dow
JS Trace Table As JavaScript continues to dominate the global software landscape, a new specialized tool, JS to Trace Table, has launched to redefine how developers and students master logical execution. Developed by Md. Anisur Rahman, this interactive platform automates the traditionally manual process of "desk checking," offering a high-fidelity visual environment for real-time code analysis.

The five stages introduced in the 1.1 chapter overview (parse, analyze/rewrite, plan, portal, execute) are traced here through the actual code: which functions implement each stage, and in what order they get called. The mechanics of each of the five stages are unpacked in later chapters. Here, only the skeleton matters: how a backend starts up, ho
PostgreSQL Internals · Chapter 1 Query Processing Suppose a client sends SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1. The path that single line travels before coming back as a result row is longer than you might expect. Inside the PostgreSQL backend, that SQL goes through a five-stage pipeline. Backend entry and dispatch. The backend receives the message from the client and decides which processing path it s
I didn’t go into the MeDo hackathon with some big, polished idea. I just wanted to build something I’d actually use. So I made Exam AI. The problem is simple: studying for exams is chaotic. You read notes, search things, forget half of it, and then try to cram everything at the end. I wanted something that helps you actively think, not just passively read. You give Exam AI a topic — anything you’r

Introduction While studying for CompTIA Network+, I couldn't grasp what a Loopback Plug actually does. I understood that it was used for testing, but had no idea how it worked in practice. As a result, I kept getting questions about it wrong. Once I understood the structure behind it, everything clicked. So I decided to write it down. NIC stands for Network Interface Card. a component inside a c
