I spent 5 months building almanacindia.com — an editorial platform documenting India's genuinely hidden destinations. Not "offbeat" places that show up on every listicle. Places like Bara Bhangal (a permanently inhabited village with no road, reachable only by a 5-day trek over a 4,700m Himalayan pass) and Hunderman (a village that was Pakistani territory until 1971, 8km from Kargil). Here's everything I built and how. The Stack Framework: Next.js 15 App Router with TypeScript, deployed...

Quando comecei a estudar programação, sabia que seria uma jornada longa. Ainda estou no início dela e tenho muito a aprender, mas, quando olho para trás, consigo perceber que já evoluí bastante. Hoje sou estudante de Ciência da Computação e venho construindo meus conhecimentos em áreas como Python, Java, Banco de Dados e Desenvolvimento de Software. Minha jornada até aqui foi construída com muito estudo, dúvidas, erros, tentativas e projetos. E acredito que registrar essa evolução também é...

Three weeks ago I had an empty folder. Today useeverykit.com has 14 kits and around 79 small tools, and the one rule behind all of them is that your files never leave your browser. This is the honest build log: what I made, how the client-side privacy actually works, and what it was like to have AI agents write most of it under strict test gates. Why I built it Every "free PDF merger" or "passport photo maker" uploads your file to someone's server. For a passport scan or a ...

Developers love the idea of LLMs that can call your code, but most examples drown in boilerplate or require heavyweight orchestration. In just a few lines you can let Claude on Bedrock trigger a Lambda, update a DynamoDB table, and respond instantly to an API call. This post shows exactly how. What is Bedrock Function Calling? Bedrock is Amazon’s managed service that hosts large language models (LLMs) like Claude. Function calling (sometimes called tool use) is a feature wher...

A Python application can appear healthy while problems are quietly growing underneath it. Features are being released. Customers can log in. The API responds. Nothing seems urgent. Then traffic increases, a dependency is updated, or a new developer joins the project. Suddenly, simple changes take days, errors become difficult to reproduce, and nobody wants to touch certain parts of the code. These problems do not necessarily mean Python was the wrong choice. They usually mean the app...

Interactive charts and a perfect Lighthouse run often feel incompatible. The usual path is a 50–150 KB chart library, hydration, and a blank box until JavaScript finishes. You can still offer real visuals and light interaction without paying that tax on every page load. This article is about a paint-first pipeline: compile data to HTML/CSS, let the browser draw on first paint, then add interaction as progressive enhancement. The real performance problem Core Web Vitals ...

The Pan-African venture firm has raised $83 million and plans to invest in startups beyond its home market of Nigeria.

A coding agent asks for permission to modify packages/web/generated/client.ts . The path looks harmless, the proposed diff sounds reasonable, and the user clicks Approve. That approval means very little if the system has not resolved where the write will land. A symlink or another layer of indirection can make the effective destination different from the path in the dialog. The human reviewed one operation while the machine executed another. A confirm button becomes a security boundary on...

If you've ever tried to run a Dungeons & Dragons session using just a standard LLM window, you know exactly where it falls apart. You ask for a roll. The model simulates it. It feels okay until you realize the probabilistic math isn't quite hitting the mark, or worse, it forgets the nuances of advantage/disadvantage rules. Then comes the heavy lifting—calculating damage while factoring in resistances, vulnerabilities, and proficiency bonuses. This is where 'hallucinated randomness' become...

When using multiple GitHub accounts, the process of selecting the correct Personal Access Token (PAT) for git push or git pull over HTTPS can be a bit cumbersome. Specifically, when dealing with repositories from multiple owners, such as: https://github.com/aont/foo.git https://github.com/another-user/bar.git Git Credential Manager or gh auth git-credential might default to the currently active account, leading to errors like: remote: Permission to owner/repo.g...

Data sniffing, or packet sniffing, is the covert interception and analysis of data as it moves across a network. While some sniffers serve legitimate purposes (for example, network troubleshooting by administrators), attackers use sniffers to capture sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, financial data, and confidential communications. The stealthy nature of sniffing makes it a prevalent security risk in both corporate and public networks. Defending against sniffing requires a laye...

49% of organizations running Kubernetes in production report rising infrastructure costs since adoption — 17% say the increase has been significant. If you've felt that creep on your own cluster's bill and immediately started reading about spot instances, Karpenter, and multi-year commitment discounts, you're not wrong to look there eventually. But you're skipping a step. Before any of that, there's a "Phase 1" cleanup that most teams never do properly — and on its own, it typically recovers ...

A brilliant investigation and a perfunctory one converge on the same three weak fixes. The analysis explains the last failure. Only the tracker, and the engineering it forces, gets a vote on the next one. In 2017, a team of patient-safety researchers led by Kathryn Kellogg published a study in BMJ Quality & Safety with a title that asks the question this essay is about: “Our current approach to root cause analysis: is it contributing to our failure to improve patient safety?” They h...

The AI That Plays Fair: Navigating the Maze of Ethical AI and Bias Detection Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts and curious minds! Ever feel like AI is this magical, all-knowing entity that's going to solve all our problems? Well, it kinda is, but like any powerful tool, it comes with its own set of thorny issues. Today, we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of Ethical AI and the crucial art of Bias Detection . Think of it as teaching our digital overlords to be good citizens, not ...

Built this with my teammate for DataHub's "Build with DataHub: The Agent Hackathon." The hackathon has wrapped up, but we're continuing to develop it. The problem If you're using DataHub, you already have lineage, freshness SLAs, PII tags, and glossary terms sitting there. But turning that into an actual Airflow DAG still means doing it by hand. What it does Give it a table name, and it: Walks the lineage graph backwards to find every upstream dependency Reads tags (pii, dail...

A practical framework for evaluating trajectories, tool use, and process, not just the final answer. Originally published on Medium . 1. Introduction I am sure almost everyone reading this has tried to build an AI agent by now. For the POC, after some trial and error, it works, and you can demo it, everyone is impressed. You have tested it manually and it works, mostly. But thinking in terms of software engineering, you know that conventionally the code had integration te...
