I have mixed feelings about Tailwind, having used it on a client project , built a Typescript adapter for it and my own website for a time, before switching to Vanilla Extract . On one hand, it seems to have been overhyped and targeted to developers who want to throw stuff together fast, with the predictable result of messy, unmaintainable code. (But I guess the same could've been rightly said about HTML/CSS back in its early days, not to mention Java, VB, etc.) On the other hand, I th...

When an AI agent leaks data, it may not look like a breach at first. It may look like a normal tool call, a helpful API request, or a browser fetch that quietly sends the wrong payload to the wrong place. That is the uncomfortable part for builders: prompt safety can warn you about intent, but only the network boundary can stop bytes from leaving. If your product lets agents call APIs, browse pages, use MCP tools, fetch files, or run long workflows, you need a simple rule: agents should no...

This is going to be a very different article from what I usually write. No technical discussions, architecture deep dives, or engineering practices today. Instead, we're talking about something much older than software itself: music. We treat language like it's the default mode of human communication, like it's the real and only thing used to communicate, everything else is secondary, emotional, aesthetic, nice to have. But language is actually the outlier. It's the new protocol layered ...

The new rule-making process follows a series of incidents, including fatal ones, in which people have become stuck inside cars.

In the AI-funding frenzy, many startups are raising back-to-back rounds at ever-increasing valuations — but even by those standards, Corgi stands out.

In a memo to staff that was posted online, Conte said the company's core business is strong, but the platform has to respond to market changes and adjust its cost structure to remain stable.

AMD is challenging its chipmaker rival with a new rack-scale system that will start shipping to customers later this year.

Shashua has been invited to take the chairman of the board seat.

What Is Object Storage? A Plain-English Guide Object storage is a data storage architecture that manages information as discrete objects—each bundling data, metadata, and a unique identifier—rather than as files in folders or blocks on disks. It scales to billions of items and is the foundation of Amazon S3 and most modern cloud storage. If you have ever uploaded a file to AWS S3, you have already used object storage without thinking about the plumbing underneath. Key Stats ...

I signed up for a free-tier LLM API, hit a credit-card prompt before I'd made a single call, and assumed it meant I was about to get billed. I was wrong about that one. I was not wrong that the SDK code I wrote next would break twice before I got a real response back. TL;DR: Sakura AI Engine's free tier (3,000 chat completions/month, hosting OpenAI's open-weight gpt-oss-120b ) broke 3 assumptions in a row: that a credit-card prompt on a free plan means billing, that Anthropic's Python SDK a...

I've been building an autonomous penetration-testing agent — an LLM driving real tools (nmap, masscan, hydra, Metasploit, searchsploit) around a loop: recon a target, pick an exploit, fire it, decide whether it worked, move on. Everything below runs against a deliberately vulnerable Metasploitable VM in an isolated lab. Nothing here is a technique for attacking systems you don't own; it's a story about making an AI agent tell the truth about what it did. Because the first hard lesson...

I have been quiet lately I know - but don't worry I haven't forgotten you all and how much you like seeing really stupid ideas on the web! This one came to me after I was chatting with a colleague saying "you know you can control one browser window from another right?" Now that was for a sensible idea around checking broken links and then confirming they work one after the other (without the issues an iFrame can introduce - there is a demo of that later in the article)...but then I realis...

Where Chris Lattner calls AI "mid" and George Hotz wants to knock a trillion dollars of value off of NVIDIA with tinygrad. Preamble IMHO: AMD's Advancing AI 2026 summit in San Francisco was free. And right now, while the firehose of free AI events and learning is still on, I'm taking every opportunity I can get my hands on. Eventually the free opportunities will slowly disappear, and this age of companies wanting us to adopt their tech and ecosystem will end. Cynical, pess...

I have a pipeline that generates document scaffolds — skeletons with blanks for a human to fill in. Every generated file looks roughly like this: <!-- draft-stage: scaffold --> ## Hook - [✏️ one line that stops the scroll] ## Caption - [✏️ 1-2 sentences, facts only] ## Before you publish - [ ] Zero `[✏️]` left → delete the `<!-- draft-stage: scaffold -->` line above Two markers carry the state. [✏️] marks a blank nobody filled yet. The HTML c...

Originally published May 24, 2026. People keep searching for this comparison, and most of what ranks is stale or vibes. The first version of this post was vibes too. This rewrite is numbers: every price, limit, and score below was checked against official docs and leaderboards on July 21, 2026. One naming trap before we start: Codex here means OpenAI's current coding agent, not the retired 2021 model that once powered the original Copilot. The 30-second version GitH...

The end of standard support for Amazon Linux 2 was June 30, 2026 – which has now passed. If you are still running AL2-based Storage Gateway appliances, you are in the unsupported window, and here’s how to remediate: the method AWS supports, and the operational lessons that make it go smoothly. If you run AWS Storage Gateway, one deadline already changed your roadmap — and it’s in the rearview mirror: * Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) will reach end of standard support on June 30, 2026. * That date h...

TDS Classic exposes three deployment-related settings that, together, decide what every item in a TDS project looks like in the target Sitecore database after a deploy. Most teams set them once during project setup and then get bitten years later when a deploy unexpectedly recycles half the templates tree, or a "deletion" never reaches the web database. This post walks through what each setting actually does, how they interact, what happens with the master and web databases, and the combinat...

For most of the last decade, the honest answer to "should we standardize on Databricks or on the Microsoft data platform?" was: pick one and live with the seams. Teams that ran Azure Databricks for engineering and Microsoft Fabric (or Synapse before it) for BI ended up maintaining two copies of the same tables, two governance models, and a nightly export job that nobody wanted to own. The duplication was not a technical accident. It was the price of two platforms disagreeing about where the byte...

Bot mitigation has an asymmetric structure. The application is where malicious behavior is easiest to detect. “This account has seen 30 failed login attempts in five minutes.” “A human user would never call these APIs in this sequence.” Only the application has that kind of context. On the other hand, the edge is where enforcement is easiest. If you can drop malicious requests before they reach the origin, you avoid wasting application resources and generating unnecessary logs. ...

Let me say the honest thing first: an AI types a lot of the code I ship. The offline-first Android app our technicians use at Exequtech , parts of this website, migration scripts, test suites — Claude Code wrote much of it, in my terminal, under my eyes. I don't think that makes me less of an engineer. I think how I do it is what decides that. A couple of years ago I made it my mission to learn to work with AI properly. Not because it was trendy — because we run a product with real users a...
