A founder came to me with a simple requirement: 100+ products Customers need to browse products Customers need to place orders through WhatsApp No online payments No monthly Shopify subscription The interesting part? He didn't need a traditional ecommerce platform. He needed a simple way to display products and receive orders. The Problem The original idea could easily turn into a large ecommerce application: User accounts Authentication Shopping ...

I had eight models sitting on my laptop and no idea which one I should actually be using. I could get tokens per second out of llama-bench . That told me llama3.2 was fast. It told me nothing about whether llama3.2 was good — whether the quantization I'd pulled had quietly broken something, whether the 8B model I'd been avoiding because it felt sluggish was worth the wait. So I built the thing that measures both. It's called homebench, and most of the month I spent on it went not in...

The Problem When malformed or abnormal HTTP requests are interpreted by one or more entities in the data flow between the user and the web server, such as a proxy or firewall, they can be interpreted inconsistently, allowing the attacker to "smuggle" a request to one device without the other device being aware of it. HTTP Request Smuggling HTTP Request Smuggling exploits discrepancies in how front-end (proxy/load balancer/WAF) and back-end servers parse HTTP requests, speci...

Provider spending limits don't stop anything. They're alerts wearing a brake's clothing. The documented cases from this year are ugly. A developer set a $250 cap and received a $10,138 bill overnight. An AWS customer with anomaly detection enabled was charged $30,141 for a single Bedrock inference run — no alert fired. FinOps teams reported burning an entire annual token budget four months into the year. None of that is because models are expensive. It's structural: provider caps run off b...

Passwordless login looks simple from the UI, but the audit trail behind it can get risky fast. I have seen teams protect their token table carefully, then leak the same access path into logs, traces, and support dashboards because the full magic link felt "temporary enough." It is not. If a magic link can still sign a user in, it should be treated like a credential. That means your observability stack, help desk exports, and debug tooling should never become an easier place to find it than th...

Hi, Today is day 150. On this 150th day of my web developing journey, I announce the deployment of a completely new website. Say hello to "Clear To Fly" , a complete travel guide for a person. The website displays almost all necessary information and guidelines for a person travelling internationally. Please visit the site at: https://clear-to-fly.firebaseapp.com/ I hope i get some support on this website, Thank you! Show support: use the link: https://clear-to-fly.firebaseapp.com/ ...

I run automated checks over terms of service and publisher agreements before we use a platform. Fetch the page, strip the tags, grep for the clauses that matter. It is not sophisticated and it has worked for months. This week it lied to me three times. The numbers Same script, same extraction, three legal pages: peerlist.io/terms returned 60 characters of text. daily.dev/terms returned 70. substack.com/pa, which is a full publisher agreement, returned 1,345. For comparis...

Distributed storage isn't magic — it's a set of trade-offs. Here's how it actually works under the hood. Key Stats Metric Figure Orgs running distributed storage (mid-size+) ~68% Primary driver: HA/failure tolerance 74% Single-node disk failure recovery time 2–8 hours Teams that regretted distributing too early ~23% What Makes Storage "Distributed" Single-node: One process, one machine. If it dies → outage. Distrib...

Note: This post is not completed yet. Introduction ESP32s have a peripheral module called LEDC , which stands for "LED Control" or "LED PWM Controller". It is used to dim external LEDs using a technique called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which works by switching the LED on and off too rapidly for human eyes to notice. Virtually all ESP32s only have one LEDC. Inside the LEDC of the original ESP32, there are 4 timers and 16 channels. Controlling the LEDC The...

SCHD (Schwab's U.S. Dividend Equity ETF) shows up on every "best dividend ETF" list, but rarely for the reason that actually matters: its dividend grows . The starting yield is modest — somewhere in the 3–4% neighborhood — yet SCHD has raised its dividend on the order of ~10–12% per year over its life. That's the whole game. A flat 6% yield pinned to a share count that never moves eventually gets lapped by a 3.5% yield that grows and compounds. I wanted to make that math tangible, so I built...

The Quest Begins (The "Why") Picture this: I’m sipping coffee, staring at a screen full of latency spikes, and the product manager keeps asking, “Why does our API choke whenever traffic spikes?” We’d just shipped a shiny new feature, and the monolith was groaning under the load. Honestly, it felt like we were trying to fill a bathtub with a teaspoon while the faucet was wide open. I remembered a similar scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail — King Arthur’s knights shouting, “It’s j...

I Don't Want to Be Known for Knowing Technologies I've been thinking about something recently. As an IT student, it's easy to look at what other developers are doing and feel like you need to know everything. React. Next.js. Flutter. Kotlin. AI. IoT. Cloud. Databases. And then another framework appears. So I started asking myself a different question: What do I actually want people to remember me for? I don't have a perfect answer yet. But I think ...
