Tracking Tableau Viewership with PostgreSQL

Tracking Tableau Viewership with PostgreSQL Tableau's native "Who has seen this view?" panel is a flat list — no trends, no way to tell if usage is real or just the publisher checking their own work. With direct access to the Tableau PostgreSQL repository, you can do a lot better: turn raw access events into aggregated viewership data your dashboard creators can actually act on. Here's the query I use to power that. The SQL WITH access_events AS ( -- Pull on...

7 Open-Source Codebase Context Tools for Engineering Teams

Your AI coding agent starts every session blind. Ask Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex a question about your repo and it does the same thing a new hire would: grep , glob , open a file, read 800 lines, open another file, repeat. That discovery loop burns tokens, wastes time, and still misses cross-file relationships that don't show up in a text search. Codebase context tools fix this. They index your code once into something queryable (a knowledge graph, a vector index, or a virtual filesystem)...

I Built a Free Browser-Based File Converter Using WebAssembly — No Uploads, Ever

Most online file converters have a dirty secret: your files get uploaded to a server you don't control, processed by someone else's machine, and sometimes stored for longer than you'd expect. For a quick GIF conversion or a PDF merge, that feels like overkill — and a genuine privacy risk if the file contains anything sensitive. So I built utilize.internet — a collection of free file tools that run entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your devic...

5 SQL Interview Questions That Trip Up Beginners

5 SQL Interview Questions That Trip Up Beginners If you're prepping for a tech interview, SQL usually feels "easy" until you're actually in the room. Here are 5 questions that look simple on paper but catch people off guard — plus quick explanations so you don't get caught out. 1. What's the difference between WHERE and HAVING? Most people say "WHERE filters rows, HAVING filters groups" and stop there — which is correct, but interviewers often follow up with: why can't you u...

In the AI era, your company will look like a law firm

Everyone says AI lets one person do a team's work. True — but I think most people draw the wrong conclusion from it. Ten years ago, "being able to build the thing" was itself a moat. People who could write software — and actually finish it — were scarce. Shipping alone made you win. AI has pushed the cost of building to the floor. Being able to build is no longer the moat. It's the entry ticket. So where did the game move? To two things: whether you can spot a demand that actually exist...

Software Development Changed. Good Engineering Didn’t.

Over the last 10 years, software development has changed dramatically. Products are built faster, teams use more cloud services, data has become central to business decisions, and AI has entered everyday development workflows. But the core principles of good engineering have not disappeared. Code still needs to be readable, maintainable, secure, and reliable. What changed is the environment around that code. Today, engineering teams are not only asked to write clean code. They need to b...

Beyond the .tflite File: Mastering High-Performance Edge AI with MediaPipe Tasks and AICore

For years, the workflow for Android developers looking to implement on-device Machine Learning (ML) followed a predictable, albeit exhausting, pattern. You would download a .tflite model, drop it into your assets folder, and prepare for a long weekend of writing boilerplate. You had to manually handle tensor buffers, manage complex image resizing, normalize pixel values, and parse raw, unreadable float arrays into something a human could actually use. It was a world of low-level manipulat...

Since its inception, Apple TV, née Apple TV Plus, has built a reputation on quality over quantity. It has far fewer shows and movies than the likes of Netflix or Disney Plus, but generally speaking, the projects it does put out are quite good. It's a strategy that has brought comparisons to the HBO of […]
