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
Originally published at Perl Weekly 771 Hi there, I put the 'Testing in Perl' course on hold for now. Instead of that we are going to explore the use of some of the mocking libraries we saw during the course. In the next session we'll pick one of the Perl modules used for mocking and we'll look for modules that use it. We'll try to understand how it is being used and we'll try to contribute someth
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
Disclosure: I'm a senior backend tech lead and I run HostingGuru, where Telegram alerts ship as a built-in feature. This tutorial works on any platform — it's the manual version of what HostingGuru does for you. Useful even if you never become a customer. There's a hierarchy of where production alerts go, ranked by how likely you are to actually see them. Email → 14% open rate within an hour, less

What do you need for UCP? There are two levels of UCP readiness. The first is the minimum viable manifest — the bare requirements to pass validation and appear in the UCP directory. The second is the agent-ready setup — what it actually takes for an AI agent to browse, cart, and check out at your store without friction. Think of this as your UCP checklist — the minimum requirements plus the recomm
Si usas Claude Code para programar ya sabes lo que pasa: abres una nueva sesión y el agente vuelve a improvisar. El contexto de la sesión anterior desapareció. Le describes la feature de nuevo, asume cosas distintas, y acabas corrigiendo código que nadie pidió. OpenSpec resuelve exactamente eso. Es un CLI open-source que inserta una capa de especificación versionada dentro de tu proyecto. Claude C
Manual content discovery is a core skill in application security testing. Instead of relying only on automated scanners, you can use simple HTTP requests and browser tools to find exposed files, hidden paths, and technology fingerprints. This covers techniques like checking robots.txt, fingerprinting favicons, reading sitemap.xml, inspecting HTTP headers, and spotting framework markers in HTML sou
