Frankly. Keep My Data Private. Please.

Even if I am probably younger than YOU , I use AI, I use assistants, I use the web; but still, I have always known that my data is there, in those Data Centres and frankly I can't stop it . I also can't stop using Gemini or ChatGPT! All the Voice Assistants claiming local, private, safe... are they actually doing what they say? I was concerned... That's why I decided to create my own AI voice assistant with one aim local, private, safe and powerful . Meet Churo, The as...

Building Gridzo: A Scalable Competitive Gaming Platform with Unity WebGL, Next.js and DynamoDB

Building Gridzo: A Scalable Competitive Gaming Platform with Unity WebGL, Next.js and DynamoDB This article was created as part of my submission for the H0 Hackathon. Introduction Most online competitive games are built as isolated ecosystems. Every new game typically starts from scratch with its own authentication system, leaderboards, player profiles, and progression. As an indie game developer, I wanted to build something reusable instead—a platform where competitive...

Why Your Vibe-Coded Website May Never Rank on Google (2026)

A founder showed me a website last month that looked genuinely impressive. Clean animations, sharp copy, a pricing table that slid in on scroll. He built the whole thing in an afternoon by describing it to an AI tool, and could not understand why, three months later, it had zero presence on Google. Not low rankings. Zero. It did not even appear for its own brand name. Here is the uncomfortable truth about a lot of these projects: a vibe-coded website can look completely finished to you and be...

DESIGN.md Checks WCAG Contrast by Default. Here's Why That Matters.

DESIGN.md's linter checks WCAG contrast by default for every component's color pairing, reporting the exact ratio and whether it passes. Accessibility is built into the tooling, not left as an optional audit - which fixes a real weakness of AI-generated UI. The weakness it addresses AI agents ignore contrast unless forced to consider it. Left alone, an agent places light grey text on white because it looks clean in the abstract - producing UI that fails accessibility standards a...

What Is DESIGN.md? A Practical Guide to Design Systems for AI Agents

DESIGN.md is an open format from Google Labs that describes a design system to AI coding agents. It pairs machine-readable design tokens (YAML front matter) with human-readable rationale (markdown prose), so an agent generates UI that matches your brand instead of generic defaults. Why agents need it Left alone, an AI coding agent draws on the most common patterns in its training data — generic blues, default fonts, arbitrary spacing. It has no way to know your design system unl...

0deps Movement: Local Dependencies, Immutable Contracts, and Security by Design

For years, the software industry has embraced a culture of installing dozens—or even hundreds—of external libraries into nearly every project. Modern frameworks often rely on thousands of transitive dependencies, meaning a single application may ultimately depend on code maintained by hundreds of unknown contributors. While this ecosystem has accelerated software development, it has also introduced a new class of risk: the software supply chain . The 0deps Movement begins with a simple ...

How to Wire DESIGN.md into Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro and Windsurf

To make an agent use DESIGN.md, point its persistent-context mechanism at the file. The pattern is the same everywhere: tell the agent to read DESIGN.md for UI work. Claude Code Reference DESIGN.md from your CLAUDE.md: # In CLAUDE.md ## Design This project has a DESIGN.md defining the visual identity. Before generating or modifying any UI, read DESIGN.md and follow its tokens and rationale. Use the accent color only as the rationale specifies. Cur...

How Modern Teams Separate Business Logic from Application Code

Every few years, a team runs into the same wall. Their discount logic, eligibility checks, and fraud thresholds have become load-bearing code. They can't change a rule without touching a deployment. A sprint ticket. A code review. Someone's weekend. So they go looking for a rules engine. They implement Drools. Or they write their own YAML-driven decision tree. Or they drop Camunda into the stack. And two years later, the discount logic is still owned by engineering — it's just written in a...

How to Write DESIGN.md Prose That AI Agents Actually Follow

To write DESIGN.md prose agents follow, describe intent and rules, not just values. A token says a color is a hex; good prose says it is for the primary action only. Reasoning is what lets an agent generalise to cases you did not explicitly cover. Weak vs strong prose ## Colors # WEAK - restates the tokens: Primary is #1A1C1E. Secondary is #6C7278. # STRONG - explains intent: High-contrast neutrals with one warm accent. Use the accent only for the single most important ac...

I Deployed 6 AI Systems Live — Here's What Actually Broke

I Deployed 6 AI Systems Live — Here's What Actually Broke A few weeks ago I wrote about the 5 bugs that cost me 60+ hours building 49 AI systems. Every one of those bugs lived inside the code itself wrong array layout, a renamed model class, a serialization mismatch. This article is the second half of that story, and it taught me something more uncomfortable: code that runs perfectly on your machine can fail completely the moment it leaves your machine for reasons that have nothing to do...

I switched 23 sites from JPEG to WebP/AVIF last month — here's what I learned

I spent last month migrating 23 client sites from JPEG/PNG to WebP and AVIF. Here's what I wish someone told me before I started. AVIF vs WebP: the real numbers AVIF is about 30% smaller than WebP at the same quality level. But Safari support is still patchy — if your traffic is 40%+ iOS, you need <picture> tags with WebP fallback. No way around it. The biggest win wasn't the format The single biggest reduction came from capping max image width at 12...

【互動藝術 DIY】用 p5.js 做一塊會呼吸的粒子背景 先問自己:阿哲會想動手嗎? 看完這個效果,阿哲可能會想: 「那如果我把粒子排成自己的名字,滑鼠靠近時會散開嗎?」 這就是正確的方向—— 讓讀者想自己動手改參數 ,而不是背程式碼。 這個方法厲害在哪? p5.js 官網有很多炫技的粒子效果,但大部分只是給你看「很厲害」。 這次不一樣——我要教你 用最少程式碼,做出最有呼吸感的互動 。 秘密是:用「距離」控制行為,用「lerp」讓移動變溫柔。 教學順序 先建立粒子:讓一群點組成畫面 教動畫:用 sin() 做出呼吸節奏 教距離感:用 dist() 偵測滑鼠 教溫柔散開:用 lerp() 柔和移動,不是瞬移 最後加美感:透明度、殘影、暖色 第一步:讓粒子回家 class Particle { constructor ( x , y ) { ...

TeamLab 那片會跟著你走的花海,原理拆解 DIY

TeamLab 那片會跟著你走的花海,原理拆解+DIY 先看這張圖 這是 TeamLab 在東京台場的《呼應燈之森林》。當你走過去,附近的燈會慢慢亮起;你離開後,燈又慢慢暗下去,像是真的森林一樣。 還有另一個作品《花與人的共存》,花叢會跟著你移動——你站的地方,花就開在你腳邊;你離開,花就凋謝。 這兩件作品的核心邏輯是一樣的。這篇文章就來拆解它。 原理一:偵測位置 TeamLab 的互動裝置需要知道「你在哪裡」。 最常見的方法有兩種: 紅外線感應 :在地面下方埋紅外線接收器,你走過時阻擋光線,系統就知道有人在這個位置。缺點是只能測「有沒有人」,不能測「人在哪一個方向」。 深度相機(RealSense / Kinect) :像 Xbox 的體感相機,透過紅外線測量每一個點到你相機的距離,生成一張「深度地圖」。軟體在深度地圖裡找出人體的位置,然後算出座標。 DIY 版本 :一塊 Arduino + 超音波感測器(HC-SR04,大約 60 元)就能做到基本的「有人靠近」偵測。 ...

Moving Your On-Premises Database to the Cloud

The decision to migrate an on-premises database to the cloud is rarely a simple one. It touches infrastructure, budget, team workflows, and application uptime all at once. Yet for most organizations, moving your on-premises database to the cloud is no longer a question of if but when — and more importantly, how to do it without bringing production systems to their knees.

Stop Guessing Why Your Shopify Product CSV Import Failed

You exported a product CSV, edited it in Excel or Google Sheets, and uploaded it to Shopify. Shopify shows a generic error — or worse, it silently imports the wrong thing: a handle gets overwritten, a variant attaches to the wrong product, half your rows go missing. You find out days later from a customer. Shopify CSV Preflight Validator checks the file before you upload it. It runs locally on your machine, never touches your store, needs no API key, and returns three things: ...

SMS Pumping Is Draining Your 2FA Budget — and Mobile-Originated iMessage 2FA Fixes It

If you send SMS one-time codes, there's a decent chance you're paying scammers to phone-spam themselves on your dime. It even has a name: SMS pumping . And it's not a rounding error — Elon Musk claimed Twitter was losing ~$60M/year to fake 2FA traffic before they killed SMS 2FA for free accounts. Here's how the scam works, why SMS 2FA is structurally expensive, and why flipping the direction — mobile-originated (MO) 2FA , taken to its logical end over iMessage — fixes both the cost and ...

When SSH commands hit a csh login shell — wrapping every command in /bin/sh -c across the codebase

But clicking the WP-CLI path test button on the same SSH connection worked fine . Same credentials, same host — one succeeded, the other failed.

How to Send iMessages Programmatically (REST API, Python & Node.js)

There's no POST /imessage in the developer docs, no SDK, no OAuth scope. Yet "blue bubble" delivery has 3–4× the open rates of SMS, so the demand to send iMessages from code — for CRMs, bots, notifications, and outbound — keeps growing.
