CampusLink: A Chat Server With No Internet Needed

This was the first project I've ever actually finished. Not a tutorial I followed along with, not a copy of something else — an actual thing I designed, broke, fixed, and shipped, in 72 hours, for the Hackathon Raptors Zero-Dependency Hackathon. The rule was simple to say and hard to live with: no external packages, no libraries, no shortcuts. Just the standard tools your programming language already gives you, and whatever you can build yourself on top of them. I built CampusLink — a chat ...

Building bayar.dev: Streaming AI Responses and Designing for Zero-Retention Boundaries

Hey DEV Community! I’m building bayar.dev , an early-stage software product company developing AI infrastructure, B2B workflow products, and multi-agent systems. The foundation starts with a simple goal: make AI applications feel immediate while keeping their data boundaries explicit. What’s live today The public chat endpoint at /api/chat is stateless and streams responses token by token using Server-Sent Events (SSE). The backend connects to Azure AI infrastructure thr...

Stop letting your AI design expensive, insecure AWS architectures

I've seen it happen dozens of times. A developer sits down with Claude or Cursor, asks for a scalable architecture to handle some new workload, and within ten minutes, the LLM has hallucinated a sprawling mess of EKS clusters, Kinesis streams, and Aurora Global Databases. On paper, it looks impressive. To a junior dev or even a mid-level engineer, it looks "cloud-native." But to anyone who has ever stared at a massive monthly AWS bill or sat through an incident response call caused by an IAM ...

Thin-Film Measurement Data: What to Check Before Building a Dashboard

Imagine a coating-line dashboard showing 1,200 nm for thirty seconds. The film might be consistent. Or the application might have stopped receiving measurements and kept the last value on screen. Looking at the number alone, you cannot tell. That is the software problem I want to focus on here: what needs to travel with a thin-film measurement so that an application can use it sensibly? I work on technical content for TDM Technology. Its thin-film thickness guide covers measurement co...

I Stopped Trusting the Headlines and Checked My Security App Against Real AI-Orchestrated Attacks

A Japanese, more code-heavy version of this is on Zenn . I build RoamSwitch , a solo-developed network security app for Mac and Linux. It locks down the firewall and shared services the instant you're on a network you haven't approved, and on Pro it adds things like emergency network isolation when it sees ransomware-like behavior, and DNS-layer blocking of phishing/C2 domains. For the last few releases I'd been building two fairly unglamorous features, a log auditor that flags frequenc...

Agentic Harness Engineering

Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly beyond simple prompt-based models. To truly leverage Al's potential for complex, real-time tasks, a new approach called Agentic Harnessing has emerged—enabling smarter, context-aware agents empowered by memory and external tools. In this post, we'll dive into what Agentic Harnessing is, why it matters, and the best open-source tools you can use right now to get started. Let's explore this transformative Al engineering approach together! ...

What Should an AI Agent Be Allowed to Do Without Asking You?

Your agent notices a failing deployment. It reads the logs, identifies the bad commit, drafts a rollback, and now wants to apply it. Should it just do it? If it asks for permission at every step, it becomes an expensive autocomplete. If it can do anything it can describe, it becomes a liability. The useful question is not “How smart is the agent?” It is: Which actions are safe to pre-authorize, which actions need explicit approval, and which actions should be impossible? That is ...

AI Video Just Became Programmable Television

The more interesting story is what developers started building once generation became faster than playback. They built television. The first demo got banned Fal engineer Rehan Sheikh connected H3 Max to a livestream inspired by the "interdimensional cable" idea from Rick and Morty. The important technical property ...

Node.js API Boundaries for Realtime Quota Protection in Live Auction Dashboards

Short answer: put a small, explicit quota boundary in front of every realtime connection, make reconnect and backfill consume a separate budget, and measure freshness rather than WebSocket count. For a live auction dashboard, this keeps a reconnect storm from starving the bids, typing indicators, and read receipts that operators actually need. The page that wakes the on-call engineer is usually not the page they needed. It says realtime_connections > 50,000 or reports a spike of HTTP 429...

Building a Browser-Local Moving Checklist Without User Accounts

Many planning tools begin with sign-up, cloud storage, and collaboration features. For a moving checklist, I wanted to test a narrower idea: can a useful planning tool work without requiring an account? MovePlaybook is a browser-based moving checklist. A user starts with a move date, reviews a generated task plan, adjusts tasks when circumstances change, and can print or save the plan as a PDF.

When Cleanup Resets the Retry Budget

When Cleanup Resets the Retry Budget A retry limiter can record an attempt correctly and still lose control before the next call.

🚀 Why Traditional GitHub Trending Falls Short for AI Engineers If you build with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity), you’ve probably noticed a major blind spot in developer tooling: discovery . GitHub's native trending feed is useful, but: It ignores velocity dynamics: A repo with 50 stars gaining 40/day is moving faster than a 100k repo gaining 5, but gets buried.

How to Assign Seller Login OTP Templates: SMS and Email Delivery Governance

Short answer: assign the authentication team ownership of the login OTP contract, keep the marketplace team responsible for new-order messages, and compare SMS and email using verified-code outcomes rather than send or open events. That boundary keeps a seller's two-factor login safe when the order-notification copy changes, and it gives US and EU rollout decisions a measurable trail. The operational constraint is template ownership. A seller can receive an order alert and a login code within...
