Why I Built a B2B SaaS to Stop HR From Chasing Expired Certifications

Every growing business eventually runs into the same unglamorous operational nightmare: tracking certificates, professional licenses, and mandatory work compliance documents. If you look inside most companies today, the process looks like this: An admin or HR manager maintains a chaotic, multi-tab spreadsheet. Every week, they scan dates manually to see what's about to expire. They send 10-20 pinging emails: "Hey Alex, your safety cert expired last week. Can you email me the updat...

B2A: Business-to-Agent é o futuro inexorável das empresas digitais

O Paradoxo da Autonomia: Um Dossie Estratégico sobre a Economia Business-to-Agent (B2A) A transição para a economia digital de 2026 e 2027 é marcada por uma mudança fundamental no destinatário final das interações comerciais. O paradigma tradicional, centrado no Business-to-Consumer (B2C) e Business-to-Business (B2B), está sendo rapidamente expandido, e em alguns setores substituído, por uma nova camada de intermediação: o Business-to-Agent (B2A). Este modelo define a prática de desenhar se...

I refuse to open sloppy AI PRs. These eight blockers are the whole review.

Lint is green. The bot left forty comments about naming. Somebody typed LGTM. Then billing double-charged, or the migration locked the table, or the "internal" route was sitting on the public router. If you have been reviewing AI-authored diffs for more than a month, you already know this shape. The model is fluent. The linter is happy. The PR description is a file list. The thing that will page you is not in the comments. I stopped opening those PRs. Not because I am anti-agent — I use Cu...

Gateway Token Validation: JWKS Retrieval and Cache Rotation in Node.js 20

Short answer: validate gateway tokens with public JWKS keys, keep a bounded refresh path for rotation, and fail closed for signup traffic when key retrieval cannot be trusted. Treat CAPTCHA verification as a separate, auditable state transition rather than a reason to weaken token checks. In an e-commerce gateway, a bot can hit the registration endpoint long before a human sees the CAPTCHA widget. The gateway therefore has two jobs: prove who signed the token, then decide whether that request...

Google Says AEO and GEO Are SEO, Not Separate Silos for AI Search Strategy

Google has made its position on answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization clearer: AEO and GEO are not separate disciplines from SEO when the goal is visibility in Google Search's generative AI experiences. Its guidance directs site owners back to the fundamentals that make pages useful, crawlable and understandable, rather than toward isolated tactics designed solely for AI Overviews or AI Mode. That distinction matters because Google is integrating AI experiences int...

How are you feeling about tech lately?

For Dev.to’s 2025 New Year’s Writing Challenge, I wrote a reflection on the major management change within my company. Fast forward to now and I’m still grappling with the same issues. I’m seriously thinking this isn’t the field for me. Not because it’s challenging but because I don’t seem to be improving. Admittedly I don’t have very good indicators of success. It’s probably the fact that there isn’t anything I want to achieve in this field. It feels like since graduating college, I’ve s...

Walnut Launches Enterprise AI Agent Platform to Personalize the B2B Buyer Experience

For B2B software companies, product-led buying has created a new challenge: buyers increasingly expect to explore products on their own terms, while go-to-market teams still have limited time to tailor those experiences. Walnut is now betting that AI can make that personalization scalable. Walnut , a platform used by go-to-market teams at hundreds of B2B software companies, announced a family of AI agents designed to cover both sides of the buying experience. The company is introducing AI Mo...

Huskeys Raises $27M Series A Led by Blackstone to Tackle the Growing Complexity of Edge Security

Cybersecurity is facing a new management problem at the network edge. Organizations now rely on an expanding combination of cloud providers, content delivery networks, web application firewalls and other edge services, creating fragmented environments that are increasingly difficult to understand and secure as a whole. That challenge is becoming even more complicated as AI changes the nature of internet traffic. Autonomous agents are emerging as legitimate users of applications, while attacke...

Earth's organisms developed via evolution. What if the cosmos did, too?

Last year, I wrote a speculative cosmology piece called Blowtorch Theory. It rather cheekily extended the American theoretical physicist Lee Smolin's wonderful, powerful, oddly neglected theory of cosmological natural selection; the idea that universes reproduce, with variation, leading to Darwinian evolution of universes. While I was having dinner with my five-year-old, a friend texted to say that the piece was at number one on Hacker News. At the time, I didn't really know anything about the w...
