OpenAI reportedly disbanded its preparedness team

According to the Financial Times, OpenAI disbanded its preparedness team at the end of last month. The job of the preparedness team was to assess if models posed serious risks and develop ways to mitigate those risks. (You know, like the possibility that it could go rogue and hack another company.) According to FT, responsibility […]

Sitemaps Are Free SEO — Here's the Vite Plugin That Generates Yours

The Problem Every static site I've shipped has gone through the same ritual: build the site, then manually write a sitemap.xml, forget to update it when a route changes, and discover a month later that Google indexed half my pages. Sitemaps are boring, so they get done wrong. The Solution @3ni8ma/vite-plugin-sitemap generates sitemap.xml (and robots.txt , if you want it) as part of your Vite build. You declare your routes once, and every build emits a fresh, correct site...

I built a content recommender as a graph, and it found similarities I wasn't looking for

Most beginner recommendation projects are a dictionary lookup. You type "comedy", it returns the comedy list. That works, and it is also the reason those projects are forgettable: a dictionary can tell you what is similar, but it can never tell you what is interestingly different . I wanted the second thing. So I modelled the catalogue as a weighted graph instead, and ended up finding a kind of similarity I had not designed for. The project is called CreatorRoute. It recommends short...

AI Can Find the Failure. Who Decides What the Fix Should Be?

AI is changing accessibility remediation fast. It can find common accessibility failures, explain them, and increasingly write the fix. That's real, and it's useful. But finding a failure is not the same as deciding what the fix should be. The gap is easy to miss because it doesn't always produce an obviously wrong answer. Sometimes it produces a confident, plausible fix that is wrong for reasons that only become apparent when you understand the interaction in context. A real e...

What Actually Happens When You UPDATE a Row in PostgreSQL?

Most developers think of a PostgreSQL table like this: users id | age 1 | 25 2 | 31 3 | 42 Then we run: UPDATE users SET age = 30 WHERE id = 1; The obvious mental model is: 25 → 30 But PostgreSQL doesn't simply overwrite the old value. To understand what actually happens, we need to look at how PostgreSQL stores rows and how MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control) works. Tables are stored as pages PostgreSQL stores table data in fi...

Building AI Prompt Lab with Java 21, Spring Boot and React 19

AI Prompt Lab is a full-stack application I built around a simple idea: managing reusable AI prompts should feel like working with any other structured application asset, rather than keeping them scattered across notes, text files or chat histories. The project combines Java 21, Spring Boot, React 19, TypeScript, PostgreSQL and OpenRouter in a compact architecture that covers the main concerns of a modern web application: authentication, authorization, persistence, external API integration ...

Nintendo Hotline – What can Product Managers learn?

Nintendo had a hotline where gamers could, at the time, call and speak with 'Game Counsellors' who provided them with tips and walkthroughs. It operated for quite sometime before Nintendo sunset it. There are a few (Product) lessons from this that I am sure will be of value to Product Leaders. 1- Necessity (Invention's mother) : The necessity of a situation usually births the creation of something that stands out from the rest. While Nintendo was not the first to use a phone as a 'busines...

I built a production-ready Shopify Hydrogen theme and open-sourced it

Every Hydrogen project I've worked on started the same way — wire up a cart, build a PDP, add filters, then spend weeks on the "extras" that aren't really extras: wishlist, compare, quick view, proper i18n, RTL. After doing this enough times I decided to build it once and properly. ada ÉLAN is a Hydrogen storefront theme for fashion brands. It ships: — An editorial design system (Cormorant Garamond + Plus Jakarta Sans, documented design tokens) — Real i18n — English, French, Arabic wit...

On Friday, Amazon customers received an email alerting them to an update to the site's terms and conditions. Most notably, it stated that disputes would now be resolved through arbitration and said users agree to a class action waiver. Amazon framed this as a "fast and efficient" way to resolve issues, but it notably would […]
