Everything Claude Code: How One AI Assistant Becomes a Full Engineering Team

Everything Claude Code: How One AI Assistant Becomes a Full Engineering Team Most developers use AI coding assistants in the same way. They open a repository and type: Build this feature. The assistant reads a few files, generates code, and reports that the task is finished. Sometimes the result is impressive. Sometimes it solves the wrong problem with perfectly formatted code. The issue is not always the intelligence of the model. The issue is the workflow around it...

The Bug I Fixed Nine Times Before I Finally Killed It For Good

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry . 🎭 The Recurring Villain If you've built WordPress sites long enough, you know this bug. It doesn't show up as an error in your console. It doesn't throw a fatal exception. It just quietly sits there, page after page, client after client — and it's called video bloat . Nine years into web development, I lost count of how many times a client sent me a site with a message like "it's just.....

Resume Optimization for US Data Engineering from WeChat Mini-Programs

Why Your WeChat Mini-Program Work Is Actually Relevant US data engineering interviews prioritize hands-on experience with data pipelines, SQL, and scalable storage. WeChat mini-programs, though often seen as front-end tools, generate and process substantial backend data. If you designed the logic behind user actions, session management, or real-time updates, you already have transferable skills. The key is to stop describing the mini-program as a "feature" and start describing it as a "da...

Building Production-Grade LLM Evaluation Pipelines: From Vibes to Metrics

Building Production-Grade LLM Evaluation Pipelines: From Vibes to Metrics How we replaced "looks good to me" with automated evaluation catching 92% of hallucinations before deployment The Problem: Why "Vibe Checks" Fail in Production Three months ago, our team shipped a RAG-based customer support assistant. It worked great in testing — we'd ask it questions, read the answers, and say "yeah, that looks right." Then it hit production. A customer asked about their bil...

Optimizing RAG at Scale: Chunking, Retrieval, and the Bayesian Search That Cut Latency 40%

Optimizing RAG at Scale: Chunking, Retrieval, and the Bayesian Search That Cut Latency 40% How we moved from "semantic search + hope" to a measured, tunable retrieval pipeline with 95% recall@10 The RAG Reality Check Everyone ships RAG the same way: chunk by 512 tokens, embed with text-embedding-3-small , top-k=5, stuff into context. It works for demos. Then you hit production: Legal contracts: 512 tokens splits clauses mid-sentence API docs: 1000-token chunks...

JavaScript Under the Hood #1: From Source Code to the Call Stack

Every time you run a JavaScript program, a lot happens behind the scenes. Variables are allocated memory, execution contexts are created, functions are pushed onto the call stack, and the engine starts executing your code. But before we dive into all of that, let's first understand what JavaScript actually is and why it was created. An Introduction to JavaScript What is JavaScript? JavaScript is a programming language that was originally created in 1995 by Brendan ...

Stop Coding, Start Directing: The Paradigm Shift for Every Software Engineer

DISCLAIMER: This post was written entirely by me! I used AI for a little research, spelling, grammar, and comprehension checks. This post was originally shared on Hackernoon Entertain me for a moment, let's appreciate where we are today by understanding where we've been… or at least, where I've been. I remember when I first learned to code. I was bad, like really bad. But I was so curious! It all started by writing some VBA in an MS Access Database to create an IT Inventory ap...

Foundry Hosted vs In-Process vs Copilot Studio Agents (2026 Decision)

A team lead asks the question in a planning meeting and the room splits three ways: do we build this agent in Copilot Studio, write the orchestration ourselves and host it, or hand our container to Foundry and let it run our code? All three are official Microsoft build paths in 2026, all three end up in the same tenant-wide agent inventory, and the wrong pick costs you a rebuild once the project outgrows it. The answer is not "the most powerful one." It is the one whose service model matches ...

GPT vs Claude vs DeepSeek на одних задачах: регулярка, рефакторинг, SQL

На прошлой неделе DeepSeek отказался писать мне регулярку. Не «не смог», а вежливо объяснил, что регулярка тут плохая идея, и предложил цикл. Тогда я поймал себя на том, что уже год сравниваю модели «на глаз»: одна затупила — скопировал промпт в соседнюю вкладку, посмотрел, сделал выводы из ничего. Надоело. Я устроил маленький честный замер: три типовые задачи из моих рабочих будней, буквально один и тот же промпт, три модели. Про сетап — один абзац, чтобы дальше не отвлекаться. Хотелось убра...

How We Split a Legacy Monolith Into Microservices Without a Single Outage

8 min read · telecom provisioning platform, 30M+ subscribers Most companies avoid migrating their monolith for one reason: they imagine it as a single, terrifying event — months of a feature freeze, a weekend cutover, and a rollback plan that's really just hope. That fear is reasonable. A big-bang rewrite of a live system serving 30M+ subscribers really would be terrifying. So we didn't do that. We used a pattern that lets you migrate a monolith one slice at a time, while the system ke...

I got tired of running 4 browser extensions, so I built one

I had a website blocker, a Pomodoro timer, a tab suspender, and a time tracker installed at the same time — four separate extensions, four separate settings pages, none of them talking to each other. Starting a focus session meant manually turning on the blocker, then starting the timer, and neither knew the other existed. So I built TabInsights , which does all four and actually connects them. What it does Website blocker — block by domain, category, or schedule, with an opti...

State Encryption in OpenTofu: How It Works and How to Roll It Out

If you've ever cat -ed a Terraform or OpenTofu state file, you already know the uncomfortable truth: it's a plaintext JSON dump of everything your infrastructure knows, including secrets. Database passwords, generated private keys, API tokens injected through providers — they all land in state, in the clear. OpenTofu is the one place where you can fix this at the source, because native state and plan encryption is a first-class OpenTofu feature that upstream Terraform does not have. Here's how ...
