The Hidden Challenge of Physical AI: Turning Industrial Data Into Reliable Decisions

Industry companies have been logging hardware, assets, people, and buildings onto digital infrastructure for many years: sensors take readings, RFID technologies track assets, cameras monitor their surroundings, and enterprise software recording both. But more data isn't necessarily leading to better decisions. Harder still is tying that data to context, decisions, and ultimately physical action. That's where the evolution from Industrial IoT to AIoT and Physical AI really comes into pl...

Scanned receipts to a spreadsheet: making OCR actually work in 2026

For anyone managing finances, whether personal, freelance, or small business, the task of turning physical receipts into structured data for accounting software or spreadsheets is a perennial chore. Historically, this has been a painful process, riddled with manual data entry, errors, and frustration. But as we look towards 2026, the landscape of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Vision AI has matured significantly, making this once-daunting task genuinely achievable and reliable. This ...

Connecting AI to Existing Applications: A Practical Integration Approach

Adding an AI model to an application can look simple from the outside. Send a prompt, receive a response, and display the result. In a real application, however, the model is only one part of the system. Developers also need to think about authentication, APIs, data access, error handling, latency, monitoring, and what happens when the model produces an unexpected response. The interesting engineering problem is not simply how to call an AI model . It is how to connect that model to an...

A Developer's System for Finding Framer & Webflow Clients"

If you can ship a clean Framer or Webflow site, you're already ahead of most people on the "can build" side. The part that trips developers up is getting found by the right clients. Here's a system that treats client acquisition like an engineering problem: define inputs, run experiments, measure. Define your spec (positioning) Write one sentence: who you help, what outcome you deliver, how fast, and proof. "I build editable Framer marketing sites for seed-stage SaaS teams, typically live i...

Jalali Dates in Modern PHP: Building ParsiDate — Immutable, Zero-Dependency, with Holidays Built In

If you build software for 85+ million Persian speakers, you need Jalali (Solar Hijri) dates. And if you do it in PHP, you've probably met the usual suspects: libraries built a decade ago, strftime() calls that PHP 8.1 deprecated, mutable date objects that cause spooky action-at-a-distance in queue workers, and holiday lists you have to maintain by hand. I built ParsiDate to fix that for my own projects. It's now at v1.1.0, MIT licensed, with 136 passing tests: composer require mah...

The Future of Web Development Isn’t No-Code, It’s AI-Augmented Code

For years, the web development industry has been framed as a choice between two extremes: write code from scratch or avoid code altogether with no-code tools. But that distinction is becoming less useful. AI is creating a third approach where developers still write, review, test, and own the code, while AI handles much of the repetitive work around it. A developer can describe a feature in plain language, generate a first implementation, inspect the logic, ask AI to refactor it, run tests, f...

How to Build a Network-Aware Stablecoin Payment Integration

The first version of a stablecoin checkout often looks perfectly reasonable. You support USDT, so you define the networks your application accepts: const supportedNetworks = { USDT : [ " Ethereum " , " Tron " , " BSC " ] }; The frontend uses that list to populate a selector, the backend uses the selected value to create a payment, and everything works. Until the assumptions behind that array stop being true. A network may be added or remo...

Build a members-only video library in Python: private media, RS256 playback tokens, and tokenized thumbnails

TL;DR We'll build the backend for a members-only video library: upload assets as private, create an RSA signing key, mint a short-lived JWT per viewer in a FastAPI endpoint, and hand the player a stream URL plus a thumbnail URL that both carry the token. Then we'll prove the thumbnail is locked too, because that's the one everybody forgets. The naive version of a paywalled video library is: check the session, render a player, done. The .m3u8 URL in that player is public. Anyone who co...

Email Self Hosters - what are you using?

At the moment I self host using maddy for a bunch of domains that need a mailbox or catch all. There are some minor issues with it - some are me, some are who knows. The biggest bug bear is that the native email client on iOS takes an age to connect and download messages which causes some issues with OTP emails. So for those out there that do host their own email - what are you running, what would you change?
