Learn how I built a scalable data pipeline from scratch using Python, covering ingestion, processing, storage, and automation.

I recently looked back at a photo I'd taken on a smartphone in 2014, and I was struck by just how good it looked. The details were soft, the shadows were dark. It was the kind of photo I felt like I hadn't seen out of a phone in years. That might be changing, though. […]

Following several apparent video leaks of Grand Theft Auto VI, Take-Two Interactive has subpoenaed Microsoft and Discord over content that "infringes copyrights" held for the game, Kotaku reports. In the subpoenas, filed on Thursday, Take-Two says copyrighted material includes "audiovisual content, artwork, images, dialogue, or other creative elements" and it is looking to identify "alleged […]

Walmart will soon allow you to pay for your items with Google Pay or Apple Pay. In an announcement on Friday, Walmart says it's going to bring tap-to-pay capabilities to "select" Walmart and Sam's Club locations starting August 24th, before rolling out support to all US stores by the end of 2026 and gas stations […]

The best gift card deal we’ve spotted this year is happening Saturday, August 22nd, at Best Buy stores for one day only. In celebration of the retailer’s 60th anniversary, you can purchase a $100 Best Buy gift card for $60. The deal is only good for as long as supplies last at your local store, […]

Apple is laying off staff on the Siri and the Vision Pro teams, according to Bloomberg. The cuts include "largely shutting down" a Vision Pro gaming team and "reducing the size" of the team that makes Vision Pro immersive content, the publication says. More than 200 jobs were cut. Apple said in a statement to […]

The security review is being performed by the Idaho National Laboratory, and the research is being funded by a company -- or a group of companies -- in the electric and autonomous vehicle industries.

Andreessen Horowitz has two partners sitting on the boards of companies that now compete with each other: Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran. Nothing too scandalous on the surface, except the Department of Justice has reportedly been investigating the arrangement for almost a year, dusting off a 112-year-old antitrust law that’s rarely used against VCs.  Board conflicts aren’t&#...

The responses to NHTSA's questions so far are redacted entirely, citing "confidential business information."

Tesla's solar roof was an experiment that never really caught on for the company. But does that mean the concept of roof-integrated solar is dead?

Nvidia research shows that AI agents can perform well, and not go off the deep end, through fine-tuning, even if the AI model isn't that great at the task.

The $225 Pebble Time 2 pairs quirky watch faces and apps with physical buttons, an e-paper display, weeks of battery life, and a playful hacker spirit.

The Setup Google's Online Boutique is an open-source 11-service e-commerce demo — Go, Python, Node.js, C#, and Java, all communicating over gRPC. It ships designed for GKE. The task here: build a complete production AWS platform around it — Terraform, EKS, ECR, IAM, Helm, GitHub Actions — without changing a single line of the application source. The application layer stays exactly as Google shipped it. Everything else gets built from scratch. The Build Seven Terraform file...

I was asked to benchmark CognoDB Cloud, a managed graph database, against four other graph platforms on the same hardware, the same dataset, and the same queries. The brief was clear about one thing: this isn't about proving a winner, it's about proving the comparison itself is fair. That's the part I actually cared about getting right, coming from a DevOps background — a benchmark is only as good as the infrastructure decisions behind it. The biggest finding wasn't about CognoDB at all. Unde...

I built a game called Pyramid, and for the first week after launch, I mostly watched it in silence — checking logs, seeing if anyone would actually play. Then one night, a player found it, and something happened I didn't expect. The setup Pyramid is simple on paper: join a live round, a shared multiplier grows as more strangers join with you, exit anytime to lock in your multiplier, or hold out for more. If too few people join before the window closes, the round collapses and everyone stil...

By Sangyeon Park — creator of Cencurity , an open-source security gateway for LLM coding agents In March 2026, Veracode published its Spring GenAI Code Security Update. The team ran more than 150 large language models through 80 code-generation tasks in Java, JavaScript, C#, and Python, then tested every output against four common weakness categories. The syntax was excellent. Over 95% of the generated code compiled and ran. The security was not. Forty-five percent of it contained a k...

Last month I walked away from a $200K salary at a FAANG company. My manager thought I was crazy. My parents thought I was having a breakdown. My friends thought I'd lost my mind. They were all wrong. The Golden Handcuffs $200K sounds like a lot. And it is — until you realize what it costs: 60-hour weeks minimum Meetings about meetings about meetings Code reviews that take longer than writing the code Performance reviews where "exceeds expectations" means...

I've been dealing with Hikvision camera apps not getting push notifications on GrapheneOS for over a year. I reluctantly ran LineageOS just to keep things working. Then, two days ago, everything Google-services-related went completely haywire on my phone after the TSA had it. That was the breaking point. I revisited the issue out of pure frustration. The Problem Hikvision's apps check for the presence of com.google.android.gsf (Google Services Framework). If it's not there, they bai...

That is the uncomfortable part. It is also the argument. I write commercial copy for a living. I have been doing it since 2020, mostly in Korean, mostly for clients who will never know my name. I cannot write a for-loop from memory. In 2025 I built and shipped Cencurity , a security gateway that proxies traffic between AI coding agents and LLM providers, masking sensitive data on the way out and inspecting generated code on the way back before it reaches the developer's editor. It runs o...

A few days ago, I released Metalterm , a new native terminal emulator for macOS built with Rust and Metal . https://metalterm.dev/ Yes, another terminal emulator. But I wanted to see how far I could push a terminal if I treated rendering performance, latency, memory usage, and smoothness as first-class features rather than implementation details. The result is a native macOS app that's currently around 10 MB , uses a custom Metal renderer, and spends roughly 0.22 ms of GPU ti...

Acho que todo dev já passou pelo momento de se deparar com um projeto e se perder no meio de tantos arquivos. Isso pode ser resultado de N fatores, e um deles pode ser a forma como o projeto está organizado. Falando especificamente de frontend, quando criamos um projeto do zero em qualquer framework, ele vai lhe entregar uma estrutura padrão, chamada de Type-based em que você consegue desenvolver coisas simples, nada muito complexo ou escalável. Você vai conseguir seguir essa estrutura inic...

Part 2 of the "Linux from Zero" series. If you haven't read #1 yet, it's on Medium and DEV.to — start there to understand the approach: investigate through evidence, not by memorizing commands. The problem nobody explains properly Have you ever run ps aux and watched a huge list of lines scroll by, without really knowing what to do with it? Most tutorials teach you the command, but not how to think about what it returns. This post is about exactly that: turning a list of num...

Why the right question isn't "where do I start with Kubernetes", but "what problem am I actually solving". The claim that tends to bother people Every time someone asks me "where do I start to become a Platform Engineer", the answer they expect is "Kubernetes". The answer I give is: no. Kubernetes is the tool you use once you already know what you're trying to solve. Platform Engineering is about the problem, not about the orchestrator. What actually separates someon...

You probably already know that you can open the current directory in Visual Studio Code from Terminal with: code . That works well when you're already in Terminal. But if you're browsing a project in Finder , opening Terminal, navigating to the same directory, and typing code . can feel like unnecessary work. Instead, you can add Open in VS Code directly to Finder. In this guide, I'll show you two ways to set it up: Manually: create a macOS Quick Action ...
