How I built a production-ready AI agent with PHP, MySQL, Gemini Flash, and cPanel—covering architecture, tools, memory, and deployment.

BYOK is a no-frills, single-purpose gadget that 90 percent of people will find absolutely frivolous. But for those who spend a significant chunk of their lives putting words to virtual paper, there is an obvious allure. Personally, I think it's at its best when you just stick to the bare minimum, focusing on pure text […]

Sony Music and Warner Chappell have filed suit against Anthropic in the US District Court for the Northern District of California seeking damages for "tens of thousands" copyrighted works. The companies are asking for up to $150,000 per work, plus up to $25,000 for each instance when identifiable copyright data was stripped. In total, the […]

Alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos was arrested by ICE on Thursday, and today the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Reuters and the Washington Post that he had been deported to the UK. Yiannopoulos came to the US legally in 2019, but overstayed his visa. After he failed to appear in court for an immigration hearing, […]

Several Hollywood celebs are ditching the massive eight-figure checks and exotic movie sets for a rising format: microdramas.

Vijay Pande — who left a16z's roughly $4 billion biotech practice last year to start the much smaller, AI-native VZVC — talks about why biology is finally shifting from a "discovery" science to an "engineering" one, why clinical trials are still brutally expensive, and why he thinks open, shared datasets (not walled-off ones) are what will actually let AI transform medicine.

Investors, founders, and operators from across Europe arrived for the annual Nordic TechBBQ conference to talk about how humans can have agency over AI.

This latest lawsuit is particularly broad and homes in on accusations of illegal piracy.

I've wanted a real scripting language inside ABS Engine for a while. This week I finally sat down and did it: the engine now embeds a Squirrel VM, and the first function has already moved into it. Why Squirrel ABS Engine is a 2D engine written in Python on top of pygame, with a Tkinter editor. It already had a second language in it, the editor's theming lives in engine/tcl/theme.tcl , loaded by a small tcl_loader.py . That worked well, so the shape was already familiar to m...

Hello, I'm Maneshwar, and I'm building LiveReview — a blast-radius aware AI code review built for your business-critical systems. Star us to help devs discover the project, give it a try, and share your feedback to help improve the product. How does Amazon stay up during Black Friday when a normal server would be on fire by 9am? Why do banks rarely lose a transaction even when a data center loses power mid-transfer? The honest answer is not "they don't have failures." Everyone has failu...

An AI agent should not need a secret back door into your app. It should not update one database record while your visible interface updates another. It should not skip the validation your form uses. It should not report “done” while the screen still shows the old state. That sounds obvious. It is also the kind of mistake you can create in one enthusiastic afternoon by adding an agent tool beside an existing website. I did not find a development in the previous 24 hours that supported a ...

Introduction When I first started learning Git, commands such as' git add', 'git commit', and 'git push' seemed confusing. I later understood that each command represents a different stage in saving and sharing project changes. In this article, I explain the Git workflow using a small practical project. What is Git? Git is a version control system that records changes made to files. It allows developers to track project history, return to earlier versions, and work s...

AI agents are increasingly making programmatic requests, but traditional billing (credit cards, OAuth, complex API keys) creates friction for automated microtransactions. With x402-express , you can monetize any Express.js endpoint using HTTP 402 payment requirements on Base in 3 lines of code. 1. Installation bash npm install x402-express 2. Implementation Add the middleware to any route you want to protect: javascript const express = require('express'); ...

Built for Google's All Things Agentic Hackathon (Devpost), August 2026. I spent three weeks building a fleet of five agents that coordinate home care admin — reading photographs of pill bottles, voice memos from carers, insurance letters — and stopping to ask a human before anything irreversible. The tests passed. The health endpoint was green. Every screen rendered. And for most of those three weeks, three separate things were broken in ways that produced no error, no warning, and n...

Building a Full-Stack Social Media Platform with React, Django REST Framework & PostgreSQL Building projects from tutorials is useful, but the real learning starts when you have to connect multiple systems together and make them behave like one application. That was the idea behind Pulse , a full-stack social media platform I built using React, Django REST Framework and PostgreSQL . The goal wasn't just to create a social media UI. I wanted to understand what happens behind the in...

When most developers think about building AI agents, they immediately jump into pure Python stacks—FastAPI, LangChain, or Autogen running on a single engine. Python is undoubtedly king for model inference, embedding generation, and LLM orchestration. But when you need to turn an AI agent into an enterprise-ready product—handling multi-tenant authentication, webhook subscriptions, job queues, billing, and transactional database states—reinventing those systems in Python is a waste of engineeri...

Connecting an enterprise CRM to third-party web apps, proprietary databases, or legacy ERPs is rarely a drag-and-drop affair. While simple trigger-action connectors like Zapier work for basic lead creation, high-volume data pipelines require direct REST API engineering. Custom integrations allow you to maintain bi-directional data sync, reduce third-party subscription costs, optimize execution speed, and keep full governance over error handling. Whether you are syncing customer records wit...

LioranDB V2 is now publicly available in pre-alpha , and I want developers to do something slightly unusual: Try to break it. Not just install it, run insertOne() , see that it works, and close the terminal. Push it. Give it weird queries. Throw large datasets at it. Create indexes. Delete things. Restart the server. Send concurrent requests. Test edge cases. Try workflows I probably didn't think about. If something behaves strangely, becomes painfully slow, crashes, returns a...

Tried tailscale/tailcat : A Small Tool with Big Private-Network Potential tailscale/tailcat is essentially netcat over Tailscale’s data plane—without depending on Tailscale’s control plane. That makes it interesting for teams building private AI infrastructure: you can move TCP traffic between trusted nodes without exposing an inference gateway publicly or introducing another VPN control dependency. The project is currently seeing strong momentum, with +790 GitHub stars today . The ...

At FilmTailor we'd got to the point where every new service meant a new repo, a new pipeline, and a new set of "wait, which version of the shared library is this one on?" conversations. Nothing was broken exactly. It was just death by a thousand context switches: five terminals open, five READMEs slightly out of date, and PRs that touched three repos because one API contract changed. The fix was obvious enough on a whiteboard: pull everything into a single monorepo. The bit that wasn't obviou...
