“I’m 11, I don’t have a CS degree, Here’s how I built an extension with AI” I had a problem. Every time I had an idea, I’d think: “I should write that down.” By the time I opened Notion, my mind had already moved on. I’d lose the idea. This happened constantly. I’d be in a meeting, get an insight, and realize 5 minutes later I never captured it. So I started testing different apps: Notion: Too slo
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
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.

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
TL;DR — Superpowers and Compound Engineering aren't competitors. They're optimised for different worlds. Superpowers is gold for mature codebases with established methodology (TDD shops, large legacy systems, teams enforcing standards). Compound Engineering is gold for early-stage products where one person owns a feature end-to-end. Pick by what your codebase looks like, not by which README sounds
Multi-tenancy is the economic engine of SaaS. Sharing infrastructure across customers reduces cost and simplifies operations. But it introduces a risk that can end your business overnight: tenant data leakage. When one customer can see another customer's data — even accidentally — the consequences are severe. Regulatory fines, contract termination, public disclosure requirements, and irreparable t
TL;DR: I built ChessDada — a free multiplayer chess platform inspired by old Yahoo Chess. No signup, no download, just instant browser-based chess. Built with Node.js, Socket.IO, and chess.js. Modern chess sites are bloated. Chess.com forces you through signup. Lichess defaults to account creation. The "5-second click and play" experience that made Yahoo Chess legendary in the 2000s is essentially
