Ever had users sign up with [email protected] or [email protected]? Disposable email addresses are a headache for any app that relies on real user contact. I built burner-bouncer to solve this — a zero-dependency libra
I finished an English series on the way I think ordinary people can start using AI for real work. The point is not to become an AI expert first. The point is to have one place where you can say what you want, give the tool access to the right folder, and check the result. Anything important still needs a human pause: publishing, deleting, paying, or authorizing. My preferred starting point is simp
When you bind Ctrl+S to "save" in a web app, do you check event.key === "s" or event.code === "KeyS"? The honest answer is "I don't remember, I copy-paste from Stack Overflow." Until a Dvorak user reports the shortcut is broken — or a Japanese IME user reports it fires mid-composition. This is a live inspector for KeyboardEvent: press any key (or combination), see every field — key, code, keyCode,
In the previous post, I walked through the compensation logic in each service. The code looks clean on paper. But sagas have a lot of moving parts, and bugs tend to hide in the transitions between services, not inside a single service. This post covers how I test the saga system: unit tests for each service, orchestrator routing tests, and the edge cases that caught me off guard. The orchestrator'
I got tired of not knowing why users were dropping off in my app. Heatmaps show you where people click. Analytics show you when they leave. But nothing tells you how they felt while using it. So I built SessionMood API — a REST API that scores user mood in real time based on behavioral events. You send behavioral events from your frontend: fetch("https://session-mood-api-production.up.railway.app/
Posted on vicspot.com — All tools run 100% in your browser. Zero data sent to any server. As developers, we constantly switch between 10+ different tabs just to do basic tasks — format some JSON here, generate a password there, convert a hex color somewhere else. It's frustrating and slow. I built Vicspot.com to fix this — a single page with 12 free browser-based utilities that run entirely client
"Nobody tells freshers the real numbers. HR says 'competitive salary.' LinkedIn shows fake CTCs. College placement cells lie. This post doesn't." Let me ask you something uncomfortable. 👇 You're about to graduate. You're applying for jobs. You see a role that says "CTC: 6-12 LPA." What does that actually mean for your bank account every month? 🤔 What's the difference between a ₹6 LPA offer in Ba
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the default standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and APIs. Governed by the Linux Foundation since early 2025 and adopted by OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Vercel, MCP is the USB-C port of the AI ecosystem — one protocol that lets any LLM application talk to any tool server. But there's a gap between reading the spec and building somethi
