The agent that remembers, and never decides

This is not a shortage of information. Every answer a department needs has usually been worked out already, by someone, in a meeting that happened. The problem is where it went. It went into chat threads, policy articles, document folders, meeting notes, email, calibration discussions, and individual memory. Seven places, none of which is searchable together, and the last of which walks out of the building at some point. What that costs is specific and recognizable. The same questions get ...

The 72-hour dependency cooldown is security theater that breaks your builds

Last week, the continuous integration pipeline I set up failed because a package that I had locked three weeks ago was no longer resolving in the same manner on my local machine. The solution? Just wait for 72 hours. Because that seems to be the approach to security these days. 🙄 The new gospel of waiting Security teams think they have found the answer to supply-chain attacks: Time. Here's a simple suggestion: don't install a package as soon as it's released. Wait 72 hours so tha...

Enterprise Demo Platforms: Security and Governance

Pick demo platforms that (1) provide verifiable third‑party assurance or a completed industry questionnaire (SOC 2 / CSA CAIQ / STAR as available), (2) document strong technical controls (encryption in transit and at rest, RBAC, audit logging, pen‑test programs), and (3) can demonstrate safe demo practices (isolated demo environments, synthetic/test data, clear data‑handling contracts). Use recognized frameworks (NIST, CSA, CIS) to map your risk appetite to vendor controls and require evidence r...

WhatsApp Business API Integration: 7 Approval and Reliability Pitfalls Developers Should Know

If you've been asked to integrate the WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) into a client project, you've probably discovered that the hardest part isn't the API calls — it's everything Meta requires around business verification, number quality, and message templates. A lot of integrations get stuck or blocked after launch because of a handful of avoidable mistakes. Here's what tends to trip people up. 1. Business verification gets rejected due to mismatched details Meta cross-c...

5 n8n Workflow Design Patterns That Prevent Silent Failures in Production

n8n makes it deceptively easy to wire up a working automation in an afternoon — and deceptively easy to end up with a workflow that fails silently in production three weeks later. Here are five patterns that consistently separate "works in the demo" from "actually reliable." 1. Never trust a single HTTP node without error output handling By default, a failed HTTP Request node just stops the workflow (or worse, continues with an empty item if you're not careful with "Continue on F...

ChatGPT SaaS Citation Studies: What the Evidence Suggests About AI Source Selection

Research into how AI systems cite sources for SaaS-related buyer questions is beginning to show a consistent pattern: source selection is concentrated, contextual, and dependent on the platform and prompt. Analyses associated with Kevin Indig and separate B2B SaaS research both suggest that the domains and content formats surfaced in AI answers can vary substantially by buyer stage. That matters for software companies treating AI visibility as a new distribution channel, but it also calls fo...

Adding Low-Noise Error Alerts to an Express API with Wotchi

When an Express service starts failing, the first signal is often a noisy terminal, a long log stream, or a customer report. I built Wotchi as a small, in-process alerting layer for Node.js services. It removes sensitive values, groups repeated failures, and sends bounded alerts to a destination you already use—without requiring a hosted dashboard or a new observability account. In this tutorial, we will add Wotchi to a small Express API and send a useful alert when a route fails. W...

System Design: A popular cache key expires and 40,000 requests hit your database. How do you fix it?

You are in a Staff Engineer system design interview. The interviewer draws a simple architecture on the whiteboard: an API, a Redis cache, and a Postgres database. Then they drop the scenario: "A highly popular key reaches its TTL (Time-To-Live) and expires. In the exact same second, 40,000 requests arrive looking for that key. What happens, and what do you change to prevent the database from melting?" Most engineers immediately start talking about scaling the database or adding ...

I Built a Filipino Cooking App That Recommends Food Based on the Weather

One question gets asked in Filipino households all the time: "Ano ang lulutuin natin?" Sometimes you already know. Sometimes you don't. And sometimes the weather gives you a pretty good idea. Rainy afternoon? Maybe Sinigang. Cold weather? Maybe Bulalo. Hot afternoon? Maybe Halo-Halo. That simple observation became the idea behind one of my projects: Lutong Simmer. What Is Lutong Simmer? Lutong Simmer is a Filipino cooking companion application that uses ...

President Donald Trump already holds a Republican majority in the agency tasked with regulating America's communications systems. But with a new nomination to the Federal Communications Commission, he could move to shut out opposing voices altogether - albeit at a legal risk. The FCC is currently composed of two Republicans and one Democrat - Republican […]

The Pixel Tag, which goes on sale in November, looks like one of the more capable trackers too: It combines ultra wideband (UWB) with Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding for two distinct types of precision tracking.

Google’s Pixel Watch 5 dives deeper into AI and health

The $399 Google Pixel Watch 5 isn't about the hardware. Sure, there's a new satin pyrite case finish, a few new strap colors, and a Steph Curry Special Edition. Under the hood, there's a slightly faster Qualcomm processor and an itty-bitty battery bump. There's a $50 price hike from last year, too, because the Pixel […]
