Engineers at Microsoft typically enjoy a quieter summer to take vacations and spend time with family, as is common at many companies. But this year, the season has been unusually busy for Windows and security engineers, thanks to new AI models that are discovering software vulnerabilities at a rapid pace. Sources tell me that Microsoft […]

SteelSeries is a household name for many gamers, but not when it comes to controllers. Instead of easing into the conversation with reasonably-priced console and PC controllers to build trust, it's kicking down the door with the $259.99 Aeon Pro wireless controller for Xbox and PC, which is now available. What does one of the […]

Oh, this thing? It's just a crossbody strap. It's a fun and youthful way to carry your phone. It's all the rage with Europeans and young people. I love it, and I definitely don't feel weird and self-conscious using it. Plus, it's great to have a $700 investment dangling near your waist while you walk […]

Promises in JavaScript When JavaScript performs an operation that takes some time, such as fetching data from a server, it does not want to wait and block the rest of the program. Instead, JavaScript can handle the operation asynchronously. A Promise is an object that represents the eventual result of an asynchronous operation. In simple words, a Promise means "I don't have the result right now, but I will give you the result later." Creating a Promise We can create a ...

TrustGraph 2.8 is available now, with a major upgrade to the platform foundation for enterprise knowledge and AI systems. This release focuses on a practical problem: AI applications must remain reliable when they grow beyond a single demo, a single document library, or a small number of workspaces. That means scalable messaging, dependable retrieval, typed model outputs, observable services, auditable decisions, and an interface that can adapt to different domains. Async pub/sub:...

One thing I’ve been thinking about something that sounds simple but is actually a little tricky: what do we do after AI fixes a failed test and it passes again? There are already some interesting approaches to this. mabl looks at adaptive healing, Testim focuses on smarter locators and maintenance, and Applitools approaches changes from the visual validation side. I don’t think there’s one perfect way to handle test maintenance, it really depends on why the test failed in the first place. ...

The code is being produced faster than I can confidently review, validate, and ship it. Old workflow vs. new workflow The biggest change in my workflow is not simply that AI writes code faster. It is that my role is gradually moving away from manually implementing every detail and toward designing, orchestrating, reviewing, and validating the overall result . That sounds like a small shift, but it changes where I spend most of my engineering effort. Codi...

OpenSparrow v3.6 adds an External API module that lets admins expose table data to external services through read-only, encrypted API keys. Each key is bound to a single table with a fixed column set, server-side filters and a row limit, and is served by a sessionless JSON endpoint that accepts nothing from the client except the key itself. Below is a breakdown of what changed and why it matters. External API module A new Admin → System → API tab lets admins define read-only A...

Introduction In this project, I set out to analyze a dataset of products listed on Jumia, one of Africa's leading e-commerce platforms, with the goal of understanding how pricing strategies, discounts, and customer reviews influence overall product performance. Using Microsoft Excel, I cleaned and prepared the raw dataset, engineered new features to categorize products, ran correlation and trend analyses to uncover relationships in the data, and ultimately built an interactive dashboard to p...

Before you read this I want to express that this is my first blog ever and I have no previous experience of writing blogs How it was decided I wanted to make something truly fascinating as a gift for my sister. She inspired me to start coding, and so I decided that I will build an Operating System for her. This was going to be hard so I decided that it was also going to be something I would work on after gifting it. And then began Project Leviathan What I chose ...

I Used Every AI Coding Assistant I Could Find for a Month. Here's What I Actually Pay For Now Note: this is the fourth post in an ongoing series where our small editorial team tests AI tools in real workflows and writes down what we find. No affiliate links. No "sponsored by" disclaimers to hide. We pay for the tools we review, including this month's experiment, which cost us about $190 in subscriptions and a fair amount of patience. The setup I spent most of August and Sep...

Your Budget Alert Won't Save You: Building a Real Cloud Spend Circuit Breaker You set up budget alerts. You get the email. You nod wisely. And then... you keep spending. The money is already gone by the time the alert arrives. Budget alerts are reactive by design. They tell you after the fact. A circuit breaker is different — it proactively interrupts the flow before spend spirals out of control. In this article, I'll show you how to build a real cloud spend circuit breaker using AWS...
