"Bro we should open a bar", don't be this guy

Somewhere right now a guy at a bar is making a stranger sign an NDA on a napkin. For an app idea. Just sit with that. That napkin is going in a drawer. The drawer is a graveyard. Quick tour. Exhibit A: bro we should open a bar Two beers in, you're suddenly a hospitality mogul. Picking a name. Arguing about taco night. By the time the check comes, the bar is already dead. It died of "let's talk about this again soon," which never happens. Exhibit B: bro we should st...

We all know the grind of working with data, even with AI tools: every experiment starts with re-explaining everything, every iteration needs you to prompt, wait, review, correct, and repeat. And the moment you close the session, everything learned is gone. It makes us the bottleneck, and this hinders human-AI collaboration...

React Folder Structures That Scale: A Practical Guide for Modern Frontend Teams

Learn how to organize React projects for scalability, maintainability, and team collaboration. Introduction As React applications grow, one challenge consistently emerges: project organization . A folder structure that works perfectly for a small side project can quickly become a nightmare when multiple developers contribute to a production-scale application. Whether you're a junior React developer preparing for interviews, a mid-level frontend engineer looking to improv...

I Got Tired of Paying $99/mo for Options Data โ€” So I Built My Own API tags: python, api, finance, showdev

I build algorithmic trading bots as a side project. Nothing fancy โ€” just small strategies that trade US equity options automatically. The problem I kept running into wasn't the strategy logic. It was the data. Every time I wanted to pull real-time options chains, Greeks, or IV, I had two options: Pay $99+/mo to a data provider Scrape something I probably shouldn't be scraping Neither felt right for a hobbyist project. So I built Market-Options โ€” a simple REST API for US equit...

Meet mytuis: A Sleek Terminal Application Manager Built with Bash and Gum

Having spent over 25 years in software development and managing countless Linux environments, I've accumulated a vast collection of custom bash scripts, containers, and CLI tools. Remembering their exact paths and managing them efficiently directly from the terminal is a common challenge. To solve this, I built mytuis . mytuis is a small, attractive terminal UI for managing a personal catalogue of applications. It is built with gum and plain bash, with persistent storage in a human-readable Y...

Escaping Generative Monoculture in AI-Assisted Engineering

Originally published on Mohamad Alsabbagh's Blog . AI coding assistants are excellent at compressing known work into fast drafts. That speed is the preface boost : routine implementation arrives almost immediately. The hidden risk is that teams begin treating the model's first plausible answer as architecture. Because LLMs are trained and aligned around historically common patterns, they can pull engineering teams toward Generative Monoculture : less diverse solutions, narrower explo...

5 Cookie Tricks for Debugging Auth Issues in Chrome (No More Creating Test Accounts)

Debugging authentication in web apps is painful. You need to test the same flow as five different user types โ€” new visitor, returning user, admin, expired session, logged-out โ€” and the easiest way is to constantly create new accounts or clear all your cookies and start over. There's a faster way. These five techniques use direct cookie manipulation to simulate any auth state without touching your database or creating dummy accounts. I use CookieJar for most of this โ€” a free Chrome extens...

Sonyโ€™s Xperia 1 VIII is still a phone for the fans

The Xperia 1 VIII marks an attempt at a step change for Sony's flagship phone line. Not only has it had an aesthetic overhaul, but Sony has also revamped the camera system, dropping the continuous optical zoom telephoto that's defined the last four generations of Xperia phone. It's not all different. Sony staples like a [โ€ฆ]

AMD ATOM + ATOMesh: Prefill/decode Disaggregation on ROCm

What: AMD shipped ATOM + ATOMesh , a ROCm-native LLM serving stack whose headline trick is prefill/decode disaggregation โ€” splitting the two phases of inference onto separate pools of GPUs instead of crowding them onto one. Why: Prefill and decode have opposite bottlenecks โ€” prefill is compute-bound, decode is memory-bandwidth-bound โ€” so running them on the same worker wastes hardware and lets one long prompt stall everyone else's token stream . vs prior: A co-located server (v...

The CTO Playbook for AI Agent Data Analysis on a Budget

So here's what happened: the CTO Playbook for AI Agent Data Analysis on a Budget Six months ago my engineering team was burning roughly $14,000 a month on a single AI agent data pipeline. The model was great. The latency was fine. The output quality was honestly impressive. But the bill was eating our runway, and I had to make a call that would have felt absurd a year earlier: rip out a perfectly working stack and rebuild it from scratch. This is the story of how I did it, what I learned s...

Memory Drift: How I Gamified LLM Context Decay in Next.js

This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam . An AI assistant remembers everything Until it doesn't I spend a lot of time building software around language models, and sooner or later every system runs into the same problem: context is finite. No matter how capable the model is, important details eventually disappear. A user's preference vanishes. A critical fact drops out of context. The system either gives a generic answer, retrieves incomplete information, or ...

How Graphify Stopped My Team from Burning Thousands of Tokens Per Query

Every time I asked Cursor about our auth flow, it would open 8-12 files, read through each one, and burn through tokens before even starting to answer. For a React Native codebase maintained by 6 developers, this adds up fast. I lead a front-end team building React Native apps. Cursor is our primary IDE. And while Cursor is great at understanding code, the way it retrieves context โ€” by grepping and reading raw files sequentially โ€” doesn't scale well on larger projects. Then I found Graphi...

Coding Agents: Moving From "Bash Mimics" to "AST Manipulators"

In the last post, we killed the "Tool Abstraction" layer. By replacing 50 brittle JSON-RPC wrappers with a single eeva process (Elixir on the BEAM). Here is how we moved our agent from text-based hacking to actual AST-aware refactoring. The Problem: The "Diff" Illusion Standard agents "edit" files by outputting search blocks: Plaintext <<<< SEARCH def hello_world, do: "hi" ==== REPLACE def hello_world, do: "hello elixir" >>>> This is f...
