Comparison of MonoLisa vs. JetBrains Mono

JetBrains Mono fits the same code into a narrower line, while MonoLisa gives its rounded letters more horizontal space. Below, we compare those proportions, operator shapes, italic letterforms, and terminal symbols. Reading texture JetBrains Mono combines tall lowercase letters with a narrower character width than MonoLisa in this sample. The first parseToken line ends earlier in its panel; the o in MonoLisa's offset also shows the rounder curves enlarged below. ...

Open-Source AI Agent Framework on GitHub Actions

I run an agent that writes me a morning brief before I'm out of bed. It tracks the repos I care about and stays quiet on slow days. It pays for the web searches it needs out of its own wallet. It does all of this on a schedule, in GitHub Actions, on my own copy of the aeon public repo. No server. No always-on laptop. No SaaS dashboard charging me by the seat. This post kicked off a series on why that's possible, and where aeon does things other AI agent frameworks can't - or won't. The ser...

I built 100+ free tools that run entirely in your browser β€” no sign-up, no uploads

Hey DEV πŸ‘‹ I've been building ToolVerse USA β€” a free tools site with 100+ pages, and I wanted to share it here because half of it is built for developers, and the other half taught me a lot about building for the web. What's on the site Money calculators (US-focused) β€” rent affordability (the 30% rule), salary needed for rent, roommate rent split, mortgage & down payment, debt payoff, car insurance cost, cost of living by state, medical coder salary, and more.

The four-line diff that charges your customers twice

Here's a change any of us could approve tomorrow. Checkout fails when the bank is slow, so you ask your agent to retry. It wraps the charge call in a retry: three attempts, on timeout. Tests pass. The diff is four lines. You approve it. Now one question. If the bank already took the money and only the response timed out, what does the retry do? It charges the customer again. Nothing in those four lines makes the second attempt the same charge as the first. The code was easy to read, ...

I Rebuilt My Developer Portfolio Around the Work, Not the Tech Stack

I recently gave my developer portfolio a major update. I’m still iterating on it and improving things as I go, but I thought I’d share it now and get some feedback from others. πŸ‘‰ Portfolio: https://keshavkjha.com After 7+ years of building software, I realized my old way of presenting myself had a problem. Like many developer portfolios, it was easy to focus on things like: React. Go. Python. Node.js. PostgreSQL. Kubernetes. AWS. Docker. Those things matter. But they do...

The Real Post-Mortem: Serving Open LLMs on AWS (SageMaker vLLM vs. Bedrock Custom Models)

Running an open-source LLM on AWS sounds straightforward at first. Pick a model, deploy it, send requests, and you're done. But once you start thinking about production, things become more complicated. Where should the model run? Who manages the GPUs? How much control do you actually need? What happens when traffic increases? Two approaches that caught my attention are Amazon SageMaker with vLLM and Amazon Bedrock with custom or supported models . Both can be useful, but they solve the pro...

Building a Production-Ready CRUD API in Laravel: Menu Categories for Django Developers

Building a Laravel CRUD API: Menu Categories for Django Developers As a Django developer learning Laravel, one of the first things I wanted to understand was how Laravel handles CRUD APIs. In Django REST Framework, I would normally use a model, serializer, ViewSet, and router. Laravel has similar concepts, but they are organized differently. In this article, I'll build a menu-categories API with: Create List Retrieve Update Delete Validation Standard JSON responses Pagination ...

How to Practise Java Daily: A Simple Routine for Students?

Most students who struggle with Java don’t lack ability. They lack a routine. They watch a long tutorial on Sunday, feel productive, and then can’t write a loop from memory on Wednesday. Java rewards the opposite pattern: short, repeated, hands-on sessions where you type code yourself, break it, and fix it. Here is a daily routine simple enough to survive a college timetable. Why Daily Practice Beats Weekend Marathons Programming skill builds cumulatively, and retention fades quickly without...

Your control arm is a probe too

A few days ago I wrote up a test that passed on Windows and failed on Linux, and one of its three lessons was: give every negative probe a control arm. A probe that asserts "nothing is listening on this port" cannot, on its own, tell "the listener is gone" from "I built the probe wrong" β€” so you stand up a second listener you know is running, and check the probe reports it . That advice is right. It is also not enough, and I know because my control arm lied to me. This is the follow-up: t...
