Your Website Can Be Technically Perfect and Still Fail at SEO

I've seen this happen a lot. A developer builds a fast website, gets the Core Web Vitals into a good range, adds proper metadata, creates a sitemap, fixes broken links, and makes everything responsive. Then they wait for Google traffic. And... almost nothing happens. The problem is that technical SEO is only one part of SEO. A technically clean website can still struggle if Google doesn't clearly understand what the site is about, which searches it should appear for, or why its co...

We scanned our own production site and found 8 vulnerabilities. Here’s the list.

Building software in 2026 feels surreal. With LLMs handling boilerplate, we ship features in hours that used to take weeks. But fast shipping has a nasty side effect: it breeds overconfidence. A few days ago, we ran an automated check against our own live marketing site ( vergate.dev ). We build security and diagnostic tools for a living, so we expected a clean bill of health. We were wrong. Our scanner flagged 8 real issues in production—including missing security headers that left...

GoFullPage got pulled. Here is how to take a full-page screenshot without any extension.

On 11 August the GoFullPage extension disappeared from the Chrome Web Store and got disabled in Chromium browsers. Eleven million users, one Tuesday. It was not a hack. The developers say it was a copyright dispute over a design element, that it was "definitively not a security issue", and that they are working with Google on getting it back. Chrome shows the same "might be unsafe" string for every kind of Web Store policy breach, so the warning read far worse than the cause. Two things ca...

The Model Didn’t Get Dumber. My Agent Skills Got Stale.

When Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 arrived, I expected my coding agents to become noticeably better. Instead, some of my workflows felt worse. The agents seemed more eager, less predictable, and occasionally “dumber” than before. Naturally, I blamed the new models. Very scientific of me. Maybe it was a skill issue Then I watched Andrej Karpathy’s interview on the No Priors podcast. One idea stuck with me: when an agent fails, the capability may already exist. The problem cou...

WordPress Block Themes vs Classic Themes: Should You Switch in 2026?

If you've been developing WordPress websites for several years, there's a good chance you've spent a lot of time working with files like: header.php footer.php single.php page.php archive.php functions.php That's certainly where most of my WordPress development experience has been. But WordPress has been changing. With the Block Editor, Site Editor, block themes, patterns, and theme.json , WordPress now offers a very different approach to theme development. So I decid...

Unpopular Opinion: Why I’m an AI Skeptic

With all the hype in the past several years around AI (or more specifically GenAI), I'm not afraid to say – I'm an AI skeptic. It doesn't mean that I don't believe that some day AI may have a huge impact on human beings' lives, but at the moment, all I can see is irrational hype. In my background, I came from infra-security; I am not a developer, nor do I consider myself an AI expert. I am a cloud architect, meaning I'm looking at proposed architectures, seeing how they suit business require...

Learning to Speak C & Cython: My GSoC Summer with Astropy

The summer is officially over. I am staring at a remarkably clean Git branch, my laptop didn't literally take off into orbit (though the CPU fans certainly tried a few times during local CI builds), and I somehow know what git rebase -i does without having to Google it in a cold sweat. If you'd asked me back in May what I was going to be doing, I would have confidently told you I was going to "write tests for Astropy's C extensions." It sounded so neat. So contained. But open source doesn't...

How do you catch it when a model update changes your agent's tool calls?

Your agent calls get_weather(city="London") . The provider ships a new model version. Now it calls get_weather(location="London, UK") , your downstream parser breaks, and nothing in CI told you. I built a small library for exactly this failure: pip install toolcontract GitHub: https://github.com/Divyansh2202/toolcontract PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/toolcontract/ You pin a golden set of expected tool calls as a contract, re-run them against the live model, and get pass /...

Clean Architecture in Flutter with BLoC: A Practical Guide

Clean architecture in Flutter is the single biggest reason the production apps I ship stay maintainable after a year of feature churn. Over 4+ years building iOS and Android apps, I've watched "just put the logic in the widget" turn setState spaghetti into a codebase nobody wants to touch. This guide walks through how I actually split a Flutter app into domain , data , and presentation layers with BLoC — using one concrete feature so you can copy the structure into your own project today. ...

"Power Query Error: Formula.Firewall and Privacy Level Errors"

This isn't a syntax error or a bug in the query — it's Power Query's Formula Firewall refusing to combine data from more than one source until it knows whether that's actually safe. Combining a private/organizational source with a public one (an internal database and a public web API, for example) can leak data from one into the other; the firewall blocks it by default rather than guessing. Why This Exists Every data source in Power Query has a privacy level — Public, Organiz...
