What I Built For this Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition, I wanted to create something beyond a traditional restaurant landing page. I built Madurai Soul Trail , an immersive frontend experience inspired by Madurai , widely known as the Food Capital of Tamil Nadu . Instead of simply showcasing dishes, the website tells the story of a city where every street has a flavor and every meal carries a legacy. The experience takes visitors on a cinematic food journey—from fluffy Jasmi...

The architecture diagram was the easy part. In Your SPIFFE workload can authenticate as an Entra Agent ID, but mind the trust gap , I argued that SPIFFE and Microsoft Entra Agent ID belong on opposite sides of a narrow trust contract. SPIRE proves which workload is running. Entra decides which governed agent identity that workload may use. A federated identity credential connects those statements through an exact issuer, subject, and audience match, which is how Microsoft Entra workload ide...

Over three days of building and publishing things through APIs I collected a set of error messages that have almost nothing written about them. For several of these, searching the exact string returns the vendor's own docs page that does not mention the error, and nothing else. So here they are, each with what actually causes it and what fixes it. Every one was reproduced and fixed on a real machine, not inferred. Assertion failed: !(handle->flags & UV_HANDLE_CLOSING), ...

As a Shopify developer, I've learned that a beautiful store isn't enough. If your pages are slow, visitors leave before they even see your products. While working on a jewelry store project, I focused on improving Core Web Vitals without sacrificing design. Here are the biggest improvements that made a noticeable difference. Compress Images Before Uploading Large product images are usually the biggest performance issue. Instead of uploading 5–10 MB files, optimize them first a...

When I started building Akhouri Systems, I didn't have funding. I didn't have a team. I didn't have investors. I didn't even have a code-signing certificate. What I did have was an old idea: Build software that solves real problems. Today, 511 people have downloaded software from Akhouri Systems. That number may not sound huge in a world where apps reach millions of downloads. But to me... 511 means 511 people trusted an unknown independent developer. Some of you pr...

A few weeks ago I gave an LLM-driven coding agent the ability to run shell commands on a scratch server, and within ten minutes of unconstrained experimentation it tried to curl a metadata endpoint, write outside its working directory, and read my shell history file. None of that was malicious — the model was just being helpful in the broadest possible sense of "helpful." But it made something click for me: we keep debating prompt injection as a text problem while handing agents filesystem an...

Python is known for its simple and readable syntax. But some Python one-liners make things even easier. Tasks that usually take several lines of code can sometimes be done in just one line. In this post, I’ll share 20 useful Python one-liners that show just how simple and powerful Python can be. Let’s jump right into it! 🚀 1. Swap Two Variables You can swap the values of two variables in just one line. There’s no need to create a temporary variable. a , b =...

My last two posts here were about scoring free coding models before committing to them — build a small harness, run it, compare. But after a few rounds of that, a different question started bothering me more than raw code quality: what does the agent do when it decides my instructions aren't enough? There's been good discussion on DEV this week about giving AI agents more tools and what happens when the boundaries fail. That conversation is usually abstract. This post makes it concrete: a...

I recently wrote about the halo effect associated with AI: the idea that a model that is good at one thing must be good at everything. I presented a simple example in which even the smartest available model could not write a basic letter in German. This time, I will discuss a different problem: the pleasing effect. AI tends to tell you what works, and that can be dangerous if the information it omits is important. Imagine you are job hunting and have your CV in front of you. What does e...

Chat is the norm now. When you build a marketplace, a healthcare app or a SaaS dashboard, people expect to message someone without leaving the app and when that feature is missing, they know it. The shift has now put product teams into an old dilemma and raised a question of which is better: “Building a chat app infrastructure from scratch or buying an existing chat API”. This post describes what it takes to build an in-house chat, the time and money it involves, what security work gets sk...

Originally published at ictcrm.com Short answer: the CRM software was not broken. In the biggest CRM breaches of 2026, attackers turned up holding a valid credential or an OAuth token nobody had revoked, then used ordinary product features to pull data out in bulk. No patch would have stopped any of it. Knowing what still holds a key to your system would have. Beacon CRM is the one in the news this week. The London company runs a cloud CRM used by more than 1,000 charities for donatio...
