Hi everyone, my name is P Swyom Sanjog. Welcome back to my blog—I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m bringing a new topic: Virtual DOM. Let’s understand what the Virtual DOM is in simple terms. We’ll cover key questions like what it is, why it’s used, and how it works. So, let’s get started! Virtual Dom So, let’s break down the topic into “Virtual” and “DOM.” Virtual means something that exi
Your phone will connect to the strongest tower it hears. It does not ask for ID first. It assumes trust, and that assumption is the entire problem. I first noticed this in 2019 outside a security conference in Las Vegas. My test Android dropped from LTE to 2G for 47 seconds, then returned to normal. No user notification. The baseband logs showed a cipher downgrade to A5/0, a location area code tha
I shipped mcp-probe — a CLI that points at any MCP server, enumerates every tool, resource, and prompt, calls each with auto-generated arguments, validates against declared schemas, prints a pass/fail scorecard, and exits 0/1 for CI. The plan for launch week: run it against the official Node MCP servers and post results. The first run made me look like I'd broken half the ecosystem. The second, af
This technical post walks through the design and implementation of Secure Playground: a local web app that simulates prompt-injection attacks against large language models and demonstrates simple defenses. Provide a minimal, reproducible environment to test payloads and defensive strategies. Make it easy to add new providers and run mutation-based red-team experiments. Offer a leaderboard and scor
A 16-pixel hero in your macOS menu bar. Watches LLM traffic. That's it. You remember RunCat — the kitten in your menu bar that runs faster when your CPU is busy. Almost a decade old. Adorable. Useful. Asks nothing of you. AI-native development needs the same thing for a different signal. Not CPU. Agent traffic. Is there a live LLM request flowing right now, or is everything quiet? That's why I bui
In recent months, a peculiar behavior observed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has sparked discussions among developers: the automatic insertion of the phrase “co-authored by Copilot” in the code comments, even when GitHub Copilot is not actively used by the developer. This phenomenon raises essential questions regarding code attribution, developer productivity, and the implications of AI-assisted

There are two sections to this. In the first section, I discuss what squad is, why it might be useful to learn, and Coding is solved, apparently. If you're a software engineer and you've been using coding agents for a while, The work has certainly changed. For most code changes, it's easier just to ask an agent to do it and you might even worry you're going too slow if you don't. For a lot of us,
