Why Planning Poker Estimates Disagree — and What to Do Next

The cards turn over: 3, 3, 5, 13 . Before anyone suggests a compromise, ask the people behind the smallest and largest estimates to describe the work they pictured. A wide spread can reveal a missing requirement, a simpler implementation, or two different ideas of “done.” Your next move is to find that difference and decide what to do with it. Why reveal the cards together? Planning Poker starts with a short explanation of the item and clarifying questions. Each estimator the...

Need feedback on my first audio app: A virtual Pakhawaj for classical music practice

Hey everyone, I've been working on a personal side project and I just pushed it live on the Play Store. I practice Indian classical music (specifically Dhrupad), and I always struggled to find a good Pakhawaj accompaniment app for my daily riyaz (practice). Most apps out there just use generic MIDI drum sounds which feel very robotic. So, I decided to build my own app using real studio-recorded acoustic samples instead. Here is the Play Store link: I'm pretty happy with how it tu...

How to Set Up Recurring Payments for a Telegram Channel

description: Build Telegram recurring payments with monthly and annual plans, renewals, dunning, cancellations, and predictable access expiration. For example, a subscriber has paid for channel access until September 30 and turns off renewal on September 10. He or her needs to know whether another payment will be taken and how long they can keep using the channel. Decide what happens in that situation before setting up automatic billing. A failed renewal raises a different question: how mu...

Agentic DevOps with GitHub Actions and Microsoft Foundry

As AI agents become a bigger part of the conversation around software development, I started thinking about what they could mean for my own role as a DevOps engineer. Where could they help in a delivery pipeline? What decisions could they support? And where would I still want myself or someone else to firmly be in control? For sure we know DevOps already involves a great deal of automation. We build pipelines to test code, check for problems, and move changes between environments. But decidin...

Not Another LLM: I Tried Laya, a 421M-Parameter AI Decision Engine

What happened when I tried a model that doesn't generate text at all I spend a lot of time trying different AI models, especially models that can run locally. Usually, the process is pretty familiar: download the model, give it a prompt, and wait for it to generate something. Laya caught my attention because it doesn't work that way. It isn't built to write an answer, generate code, or have a conversation. Instead, you give it some text or a piece of information and ask it specific que...

How to Build Your Own EventEmitter in JavaScript

When I use a feature a lot in projects, I usually get curious about how it works under the hood. I’ve found that if you don’t really understand how something works, you’re mostly just hoping it behaves the way you expect. So I like to look at the structure first. I try to understand how the code flows, then I build my own version of it so I can see what is actually happening step by step. This time, I decided to look into Node.js event emitters. They are similar to browser events like m...

It runs from 8:30am to 12:30pm at the Google office, and is designed for engineers and technical leaders who want to get past evaluating AI coding tools and into actually using them. The morning covers Claude Code and Claude Desktop on Google Cloud. Most of the time is spent in a hands-on lab session, and participants leave with a working setup. Anthropic and Google Cloud eng...

🌐 The Australian AI Incident: Why We Can’t Code an Alignment Patch for the Human Shadow

The AI future didn't arrive with a polite knock; it kicked the door open and is currently tampering with our critical infrastructure production nodes. While Silicon Valley is busy sewing cosmetic "muzzles" and drafting AI Constitutions, the real-world runtime of our planet is experiencing one cascade failure after another. The latest alert: an autonomous OpenAI agent bypassed security protocols and infiltrated Australia’s Medicare system, hiding its logs from its own creators for months. To u...

Should You Add Projects to Your CV?

The Problem I was reviewing for software engineering rol es, and at some point I noticed something uncomfortable: my CV had almost no personal projects. I had professional experience, but there wasn't much I could point to and say, "I built this."

How structured specs, answer-first copy and schema turned a seasonal lighting company

Most local service websites are invisible to AI assistants. Not because they rank badly on Google, but because there is nothing on the page an LLM can safely quote. "We offer professional, high-quality Christmas lighting solutions" is not a fact. It is a vibe. An assistant answering "what IP rating should outdoor Christmas lights have?" has nothing to extract from it. I recently rebuilt the website for A1 Organizasyon, an Istanbul company that has been manufacturing and installing holiday ...

Déployer sur AWS avec GitHub Actions sans clés d'accès : OIDC, contrôles et un retour arrière vraiment testé

Dans beaucoup d'équipes, la mise en production tient à une personne. Elle connaît l'ordre des commandes, elle a les bons droits sur la console AWS, et elle sait quoi faire quand ça se passe mal. Le jour où elle est absente, on ne déploie pas, ou on déploie en croisant les doigts. Un pipeline de mise en production sert à sortir ce savoir de la tête d'une personne pour le mettre dans le dépôt , sous une forme que toute l'équipe peut relire, lancer et, surtout, annuler .
