Inside the suddenly explosive world of AI safety

On a sunny July day in Berkeley, California, the country's top AI safety researchers gathered on an unmarked floor of an unmarked building. They had come together for a "war room" to dissect the high-profile cybersecurity incident that had rocked the AI industry hours earlier. An unreleased OpenAI model had gone rogue, executing a stunningly […]

How to Actually Enforce Clean Architecture in TypeScript

You wrote the docs. You did the PR reviews. You explained it during onboarding. And yet, six months later, a bunch of controllers are directly importing a repository, and nobody noticed. The Real Problem With Architecture Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, layered architecture, or whatever approach you follow: the rules often exist in only two places: your head and a README nobody reads. The moment a deadline hits, someone takes a shortcut. A controller calls a reposi...

The Adventures of Blink S6e3: The First Enhancement [NIST 800-53 CM(3)]

Hey friends! Today on The Adventures of Blink we're continuing our efforts to repair the relationship between Engineering and Governance as we explore the first Enhancement to NIST 800-53 CM-3. The name of the game today is AUTOMATION . Do you think "Compliance" means filling out an endless 25-field enterprise ticketing form and waiting for a weekly CAB meeting? Think again. We'll use a little empathy for the Developer Experience as the basis for a new look at our Change Management proce...

I Built Relay_: The Open-Source Layer Between Your API and the Internet

I almost rage-quit my own side project last month because I spent 14 hours fighting AWS API Gateway just to validate a single API key. Actually, I didn't quit. I just got so unbelievably frustrated with the extortionate pricing and miserable UX of modern API tools that I rage-built my own Gateway in Go instead. If you've ever built a public-facing API, you already know the nightmare. You write your core business logic in a weekend, and then hit a massive brick wall. When you look at ...

Catching "invoice.pdf.exe" before you open it: a tool that identifies a file's real type from its first bytes

Windows hides file extensions by default. So an executable named invoice.pdf.exe shows up in Explorer as invoice.pdf . Give it a PDF icon and there is nothing left to tell it apart by looking. An extension, though, is only a claim . A PDF always starts with %PDF- . A Windows executable always starts with MZ . A file can call itself anything it likes, but its first bytes are the contents themselves, and they cannot lie. This post is about a Windows app I built that reads those first b...

Apache Iceberg Maintenance Tools: From Spark Procedures to Autonomous Control Planes

Every write to an Apache Iceberg table creates a new snapshot. Every snapshot pins references to data files. Over weeks of production workloads, this produces thousands of small files, bloated metadata, orphaned storage artifacts, and dangling delete records — all of which silently degrade query performance, inflate storage costs, and slow down every engine connected to the table. The fix requires five distinct maintenance operations, executed in the right order, at the right frequency, acros...

"The agent said it would wait, and didn't"

This morning, before launching the forks that refined this note's tickets, I exported an environment variable by hand from outside the script that starts the loop. I set it that way every time I run this project. Five nights ago that variable didn't exist anywhere, and not knowing that cost USD 2.79 and zero finished tickets. I'm going to wait In the early hours of September 12th, in the chatbot project, the loop ran in parallel for the first time: two tickets at once, each with ...

SQL Operations in a nutshell :

Congratulations, we now have worked on retrieving data. Next step is now how to work on that data to produce ready to use output. In this article we will basically cover how to transform, calculate and reshape data directly inside a querry rather than pulling those raw values and working with them on a separate platform. We have different SQL Operations: Arithmetic , string , date , conditional and Aggregate Operations. Arithmetic Operations SQL supports standard mathemat...

The OWASP Agentic AI Top 10, read as someone who actually runs agents on his laptop

OWASP published a Top 10 for Agentic Applications in December 2025 — ten risks, numbered ASI01 through ASI10. Most write-ups I found target platform teams. I don't have one. I have a laptop, six agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, DSH and a couple of my own scripts), 14 MCP servers — and a habit of giving them shell access. So here is each item translated into what I actually changed. ASI01 — Agent Goal Hijack Prompt injection, but the version that matters in practice is in...

Linear Regression

What is Linear Regression Linear regression is a statistical method which models the linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more dependent variable. It finds the best-fitting straight line through a set of data points. purpose of Linear regression The purpose of linear regression is to predict continuous values, understand the relationship between variable and make inference about data. it also measures the strength of relationships. There are two types of linear re...

Daily Web Development Learning:CSS Display & Navigation Bar Basic!

Today, I practiced essential CSS properties used to layout and style navigation bars. Here is a quick breakdown of what I covered: ​display: flex; – Converts block-level list items (like Home, About, Contact, Services) into inline elements so they sit neatly side-by-side. ​list-style-type: none; – Removes the default bullet points from list items. ​gap: 20px; – Adds clean, uniform spacing between navigation links. ​text-decoration: none; – Removes default underlines from tags for a...

Listing a remote MCP server in every directory: what each one actually checks (September 2026)

The Save button did nothing. We opened the network panel. The request had returned HTTP 200. Inside the response: a validation error on a field the form did not show. By then we had spent several days trying to get the same remote MCP server listed across directories. Another directory had published us in about ten minutes. A GitHub list had tested our endpoint and accepted its 401. Elsewhere, our submission was waiting for a human. "Get the server listed" had turned into a collection o...

How to find out what SDKs, ad networks, and APIs a competitor's Android app uses

How to find out what SDKs, ad networks, and APIs a competitor's Android app uses You can install an app in ten seconds and still have no idea how it makes money. That's the gap this post is about. Below is the whole workflow — from a Play Store URL to a list of SDKs, ad networks, and API endpoints — using only free tools, plus three findings from real teardowns to show what the output actually looks like. Everything here works on a Mac or Linux box; no rooted device required. One hone...

The paradox of AI automation at the workplace

I find it interesting how people are very ambitious to automate their processes at their companies using new AI tools, but they set the limit of automation on their own terms, and if you try to pass it, you become the cynic or negative one. For example, this guy where I work suggested to use LLMs before 1:1 meetings to scan all the data on them from Google Drive and Slack conversations, so they can be better prepared for the conversation. First this sounds very useful, but if you think about it,...
