My Dev.to CLI Got Its First Community PR. Image Uploads From Terminal.

Three weeks after launching devpub, I got a notification I wasn't expecting: a pull request from someone I'd never talked to. Harish / @harishteens had forked the repo, read the issues, picked one that I'd been putting off for weeks, and built a complete solution. Tests included. Design decisions documented. Edge cases handled. The feature? devpub upload . The one command that should have existed from day one but couldn't, because the Forem API literally doesn't support it. pi...

5 Places a Real-Time Camera Filter Drops Frames

A real-time camera filter has about 33 milliseconds per frame at 30 FPS. When a filter that looked fine in a demo stutters on a real handset, the loss is almost always in one of five places: format conversion, frame backpressure, where inference actually executes, synchronous readback, or sustained thermal load. Here is how I find which one. TL;DR The budget is arithmetic you can do in your head: 1000 / 30 = 33.3 ms per frame, and 1000 / 60 = 16.7 ms. Converting a camera fram...

Nomad vs Kubernetes: When You Don't Need the Cluster

Somewhere along the way, "we need to run some containers" quietly became "so we need Kubernetes," and the second half stopped getting questioned. You stand up a cluster, or pay for a managed one, and now you own a distributed control plane: etcd, an API server, a scheduler, a controller manager, plus a kubelet and kube-proxy on every node, and that's before the CNI plugin, the ingress controller, and the operators. For a fleet at Spotify scale, that machine earns its keep. For a team running twe...

Why Your React useEffect Cleanup Function Isn't Running (The Dependency Array Gotcha)

Why Your React useEffect Cleanup Function Isn't Running (The Dependency Array Gotcha) You add a cleanup function to your useEffect . You expect it to run when the component unmounts, or when a dependency changes before the effect re-runs. You test it. Nothing happens. No console log, no unsubscribe, no cleared interval — just silence, and a bug report from a user seeing duplicate event listeners or a memory leak that grows worse the longer they use your app. If you've hit this, you're no...
