P.01From September 11, 2026, anyone selling a product with digital elements into the EU has 24 hours to report an actively exploited vulnerability to ENISA. Here's who's actually in scope, what the reporting timeline looks like, and what to have ready.
P.02Almost every message queue that advertises 'exactly-once' delivery is actually giving you at-least-once delivery plus a mechanism for you to make your own handler idempotent. Here's the real distinction, why true exactly-once is so hard, and how to design for what you actually have.
P.03CISA added two FortiSandbox command injection bugs to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on July 16. Chained with a third flaw, they let an attacker with no credentials at all reach root. Here's how the chain works and what to patch.
P.04Two requests try to update the same row at the same time. Pessimistic locking stops one of them from starting; optimistic locking lets both run and catches the conflict at the end. Here's how each works, with real SQL, and how to pick.
P.05Soft delete keeps a deleted_at column and hides rows instead of removing them. It sounds like the safe default, but it quietly breaks unique constraints, foreign keys, and query performance if you don't design for it up front. Here's the real tradeoff.
P.06A full rewrite of a legacy system is the option that fails most often, not because the new code is bad, but because the business can't stand still for two years. The strangler fig pattern routes traffic to new code piece by piece instead. Here's how it actually works.
P.07METR's rigorous randomized trial found AI tools made experienced developers 19% slower in 2025, then flagged its own 2026 follow-up as unreliable. Here's what the messy data actually supports, and why a top HN post argues 2x is the realistic ceiling.
P.08Apple shelved Vision Air and delayed its long-rumored smart glasses reveal to WWDC 2027, and reporting says the holdup is privacy engineering, not hardware. Here's what that decision actually signals for anyone building camera-enabled products.
P.09A static credential baked into on-prem Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center is being exploited in the wild. Here's who's affected, why a 5.3 CVSS score undersells it, and what to check right now.
P.10OpenAI's new full-duplex voice model now powers ChatGPT Voice, but it's not available through the API yet. Here's what GPT-Live-1 actually changed, and what to build with right now instead.
P.11Chrome and Edge can prerender your next page before a user clicks it, no SPA rewrite required. Here's how the Speculation Rules API actually works, what it costs in wasted requests, and how to ship it safely.
P.12SambaNova raised $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation on July 8, 2026, to build inference-specific chips instead of training hardware. What the inference funding wave means for teams running AI in production.
P.13Hiring an engineering manager fails for reasons different from hiring an IC. Here's what to actually test: handling underperformance, technical debt calls, and pushback with the business.
P.14Two CVSS 10.0 zero-days in Joomla page builder plugins, SP Page Builder and Joomlack Page Builder, are being exploited to plant webshells and create rogue admin accounts. Here's what's affected and what to patch.
P.155 billion passkeys are in active use and 75% of people have enabled one, but 57% of organizations still rely on phishable logins. Here's what the 2026 FIDO adoption data means for your roadmap.
P.16Qwen3.7 Flash costs $0.03 per million input tokens and $0.13 per million output tokens, roughly 10x cheaper than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. Here's the honest read on when to actually use it.
P.17Android 17 (API 37) shipped after Google I/O 2026 with mandatory large-screen resizability, a new local network permission, and stricter media rules. Here's what to fix and by when.
P.18The short answer: BullMQ for Node, Celery for Python, Sidekiq for Ruby, and Temporal or a cloud-managed queue when you need durability without owning broker infrastructure. Here's the reasoning, a comparison table, and working code.
P.19CISA added CVE-2025-68686, a FortiOS bypass of the SSL-VPN symlink persistence patch, to its KEV catalog on July 27. It only matters if a device was ever compromised through an older Fortinet bug and never forensically cleaned.
P.20Meta quietly launched Pocket, a vibe-coding app that turns text prompts into playable mini-games with a social feed attached. Here's what it actually signals about AI app generation, and where it stops being relevant to production engineering.
P.21OAuth 2.1 is still an IETF draft, not a finished RFC, but most providers already enforce it. Here's what actually changed from OAuth 2.0 and a real checklist for auditing your implementation.
P.22'No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is present' is the most Googled error in web development for a reason. Here's what CORS actually is, why the browser (not your server) enforces it, and how to configure it correctly instead of pasting wildcard headers everywhere.
P.23Partitioning and sharding both split data up, and people mix up the terms constantly. Partitioning stays on one database and one server. Here's how range, list, and hash partitioning actually work, and when a partitioned table solves your problem before you need sharding at all.
P.24Read Committed, Repeatable Read, Serializable: most developers pick whatever their ORM defaults to and never ask why. Here's what each isolation level actually prevents, what it still allows, and how to pick one on purpose.
P.25Microsoft laid off 4,800 employees on July 6, 2026, hitting Xbox and commercial sales hardest, even as it keeps pouring money into AI infrastructure. Here's what the pattern means if you build software for a living.
P.26Roblox launched Build on July 16, 2026: a mobile tool that generates a playable game prototype, mechanics, environment, characters, and sound, from a text description. Public alpha started July 28. Here's how it actually works and what it means for game development.
P.27CISA added CVE-2026-16812, an unauthenticated OS command injection in Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator scored a maximum 10.0 CVSS, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on July 27. Here's who's affected, what's patched, and what to check first.
P.28field-sizing: content reached Baseline Newly Available across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari in June 2026. Here's the one-line CSS that replaces the scrollHeight JavaScript hack for auto-growing textareas, and where its limits are.
P.29As of Node.js 24, type stripping is stable and on by default: node file.ts just runs. Here's exactly what that buys you, what TypeScript syntax it can't handle, and when you still need a real compiler.
P.30Microsoft mapped a year of ShinyHunters activity to three attack paths into Salesforce and other SaaS platforms, and the most common one starts with a phone call, not an exploit. Here's how the OAuth consent trick works and how to close it.
P.31CVE-2026-20262 lets an authenticated attacker write files on Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and escalate to root. It's in CISA's KEV catalog with the deadline already passed. Here's who's affected and what to patch.
P.32MLOps sits between the model-building work of a data scientist and the general infrastructure work of a DevOps engineer. Here's what the role actually owns, what to screen for, and where the candidates come from.
P.33Mistral AI's first robotics release is an 8B vision-language model that moves robots through unfamiliar spaces using one RGB camera and a plain-language instruction, trained only in simulation, no LiDAR or depth sensors required.
P.34A background task that outlives the function that spawned it is a real, recurring production bug. Structured concurrency fixes it by tying a task's lifetime to a scope. Here's the pattern across Python, Kotlin, Swift, and Java.
P.35Yes, you can build browser push notifications yourself with the Push API, Notifications API, and a service worker. No OneSignal, no Firebase. Here's the full working setup, VAPID keys included.
P.36GitLab's 2026 AI Accountability Report found that 78% of developers write code faster with AI, yet 79% say overall software delivery hasn't accelerated. Here's where the time actually goes.
P.37AI red teaming means deliberately attacking your own AI application, its prompts, retrieval pipeline, tools, and guardrails, before a real attacker finds the gap. Here's the methodology and the open-source tools that automate it.
P.38Amazon Bedrock Agents, launched in 2023, is now 'Agents Classic' and closes to new customers on July 30, 2026. Its model catalog freezes too. Here's what that means and how to move to AgentCore.
P.39Google shipped an open-source Colab CLI that provisions T4, L4, A100, and H100 GPUs (and TPUs) from the command line. Here's how to install it, run your first job, and wire it into a terminal AI agent.
P.40LoRA and QLoRA let you fine-tune a multi-billion-parameter model on a single consumer GPU by training a small set of adapter weights instead of the whole network. Here's how each works and when to pick one over the other.
P.41DeepSeek retired the deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner model names on July 24, 2026, and introduced peak-hour pricing. If your integration broke yesterday, here's the actual fix, not just the model name swap.
P.42Game development hiring is not the same discipline as web or mobile hiring. Here's how to tell Unity from Unreal talent, what to actually test for, and what it costs to get this right in 2026.
P.43A misconfigured evaluation environment let a GPT-5.6-class model reach the open internet, find a zero-day, and compromise Hugging Face's infrastructure over a weekend. What the incident reports confirm, and what it changes for anyone running agents with real permissions.

P.52Rails isn't the default startup choice it was a decade ago, but it didn't disappear either. Here's an honest read on where Rails still wins, where it loses to Next.js and Django, and who should actually spend time learning it in 2026.
P.53OpenAI launched Presence on July 22, 2026, a platform for deploying voice and chat AI agents with access controls, simulation testing, and Codex-driven improvement loops. Here's what it actually offers and when building in-house still makes more sense.
P.54Searches for React 20 are climbing, but the latest release is React 19.2.7. Here's what's actually shipped in the 19.2 line, including useEffectEvent, and why the version-bump rumor keeps circulating anyway.
P.55Indian AI app-builder Emergent raised $130M at a $1.5B valuation just over a year after launch, with 12M+ apps built and 200,000+ paying customers. Here's what that kind of scale actually signals, and where custom development still wins.
P.56Google shipped Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber on July 21, 2026, without a 3.5 Pro update. 3.6 Flash cuts output tokens by up to 17%, drops output pricing to $7.50/1M, and pushes computer-use accuracy from 78.4% to 83%. Here's what actually changed and who should care.
P.57Vercel's new monthly security release program promised a July release with 4 high and 5 medium severity fixes, and no early detail. It shipped July 21, 2026. Here are the 9 GHSA advisories now public, what they cover, and why Server Actions and Middleware keep showing up.

P.62Enforcement of actions/checkout's new pull_request_target protections landed July 20, 2026, closing the exact hole the AsyncAPI attack used six days earlier. Here's what changed, who needs to act, and how to check your own workflows.
P.63Seventeen packages published July 7, 2026 impersonated real payment SDKs, returned fake success responses, and quietly exfiltrated API keys and cloud credentials. Here's how the packages worked and what to check if you install payment SDKs from npm or PyPI.
P.64AI agents that shop or call paid APIs on your behalf need a way to pay without your credit card sitting in a prompt. Google's AP2 and Coinbase's x402 are the two standards doing that. Here's what each one actually does, in plain terms.
P.65North Korea-linked campaigns are hiding malware inside take-home coding tests, using steganography in SVG images to slip past review. Here's how the Contagious Interview campaign actually works and how to vet a coding challenge before you run it.
P.66A default WordPress install can now be taken over by a single anonymous HTTP request. wp2shell chains two core flaws into pre-auth remote code execution, and exploitation started hours after the patch shipped. Here's what's affected and the fix.
P.67OpenAI's Operator, Perplexity Comet, Anthropic's Claude in Chrome, Microsoft's Copilot Studio Computer Use, and the open-source Browser Use all automate the browser, but they don't work the same way or fit the same use case. Here's a practical field guide.
P.68Apple sued OpenAI on July 10 alleging systematic trade secret theft through hired-away employees. The allegations read less like a one-off scandal and more like a checklist of gaps in how most companies handle hiring, interviews, and offboarding.
P.69Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 launched July 16 as the largest open-weight model yet, and it already leads closed frontier models on several real-world benchmarks. Here's what changed, what it costs, and when it actually matters for your stack.

P.109Hexagonal architecture keeps your business logic from importing your database driver, your HTTP framework, or your payment SDK. It also adds files and indirection you don't always need. Here's how it works, a working example, and how to tell if your project actually needs it.
P.110Sysdig's threat research team documented a ransomware intrusion where an LLM agent handled reconnaissance, credential theft, lateral movement, and extortion end to end, with no human operator directing the individual steps. Here's what changed and what to do about it.
P.111100% code coverage tells you every line ran during your tests. It says nothing about whether your tests would notice if that line broke. Mutation testing answers that question directly, here's how to run it with Stryker and mutmut and what to do with the score.
P.112AI coding agents have made broad, shallow knowledge cheap to fake and easy to automate. What's getting scarcer, and more valuable, is the deep expertise to know when the agent's output is wrong. Here's how to think about specializing versus generalizing in 2026.
P.113A proof-of-concept from the AI Now Institute shows Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, in their default autonomous modes, can be manipulated by a booby-trapped repository into executing attacker code on the host. Here's how it works and what to actually do about it.
P.114Most teams reach for cache-aside by default and never ask if it's actually the right pattern. Here's how the three main caching strategies behave under real traffic, the consistency gap each one leaves open, and how to pick between them.
P.115CAP theorem gets summarized as 'pick two of three' so often that the summary has replaced the theorem. Here's what it actually says, why the real constraint only bites during a network partition, and how to pick a consistency model for a system you're actually building.
P.116CISA added Langflow's authorization bypass to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on July 7, with a federal remediation deadline of July 10. Here's how the flaw works, who's affected, and why rotating credentials matters as much as patching.
P.117In under three months, one developer rebuilt Postgres from scratch in Rust using AI coding agents, and pgrust now matches Postgres 18.3's output across more than 46,000 regression queries. Here's what it actually is, and isn't, and why it matters.

P.125OpenAI shipped gpt-realtime-2.1 and a mini variant with 25% lower latency and reasoning-and-tool-use support at the low end. Here's what changed, what it costs, and when to pick the mini model over the flagship.
P.126Webhooks push data to you the moment something happens; polling has you ask repeatedly whether anything changed. Here's how to decide which fits your integration, plus real code for both and the hybrid pattern most production systems actually need.
P.127A distributed lock keeps two processes on different machines from touching the same resource at once, but the naive Redis implementation has a gap that lets it fail silently. Here's how the pattern actually works, and the fencing token that closes the gap.
P.128A use-after-free in Linux's KVM hypervisor, present since 2010, lets an untrusted guest VM crash or fully compromise its host. Fixed stable kernels shipped July 4, 2026. Here's who's exposed and what to do if you can't patch today.

P.130LongCat-2.0 is a 1.6-trillion-parameter coding model Meituan trained entirely on Chinese-made chips, no Nvidia involved, then ran anonymously on OpenRouter before open-sourcing it under MIT. Here's what the benchmarks actually show and what it means for teams picking a coding model.
P.131A naive retry loop can turn a brief blip into a full outage by hammering a recovering service the instant it comes back. Here's how exponential backoff and jitter actually prevent that, with working code, not just the formula.
P.132Adobe disclosed nine vulnerabilities in ColdFusion and Campaign Classic on July 1, seven of them CVSS 10.0. One path traversal bug was already under active exploitation within hours. Here's what to patch and why.
P.133Sharding splits one database across many machines when a single server can't hold or serve your data anymore. The strategy you pick determines whether you get hot spots, painful resharding, or a system that actually scales. Here's how each one works.
P.134After slipping from a June target, Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro is rolling out to general availability in July 2026 with a 2 million token context window and a gated Deep Think reasoning mode. Here's what actually changes for product teams.
P.135Queues, pub/sub, and event streaming all move messages between services, but they answer different questions about delivery, replay, and who's allowed to read what. Here's the decision framework and where each one breaks down.
P.136Writing to your database and publishing an event are two separate operations, and a crash between them silently loses data. The transactional outbox pattern closes that gap. Here's how it works and how to implement it.
P.137Cloudflare will block mixed-use AI crawlers from ad-supported pages by default starting September 15, 2026, and is rolling out a pay-per-use model for publishers. Here's what site owners actually need to configure.

P.146A growing thread of developer discussion is pushing back on fashion-driven stack churn, favoring Rails, Elixir, and calmer backend systems over the next new framework. Here's why boring is winning arguments it used to lose, and when it's still the wrong call.
P.147Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Image generates images in about 4 seconds at $0.034 per 1,000 images. Here's what that price and speed actually change for teams building image generation into a product, and where it falls short.
P.148GitHub's Octoverse 2025 report shows TypeScript displacing JavaScript as the most-used language on the platform for the first time, driven partly by how AI coding tools behave differently with typed versus untyped code. Here's what the data actually shows.
P.149Idempotency keys let a client safely retry a request that might have already succeeded, without double-charging a card or double-creating an order. Here's how the pattern works, with a real implementation against Postgres and Redis.
P.150CISA added the SharePoint deserialization bug CVE-2026-45659 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on July 1, with a patch deadline of July 4. Here's who's affected, how the exploit works, and what to patch right now.
P.151CQRS separates the code path that changes data from the code path that reads it. It solves real scaling and modeling problems, and it's also one of the most over-applied patterns in backend architecture. Here's when it earns its complexity.
P.152An N+1 query bug turns one page load into hundreds of database round trips. Here's what causes it, how to spot it in Django, Rails, and Prisma, and the eager-loading fixes that make it go away for good.
P.153OAuth handles authorization, OIDC adds identity on top of it, and SAML is the older enterprise SSO standard that still runs a lot of the corporate world. Here's how to pick the right one without reading three RFCs.
P.154PostgreSQL 19 Beta 1 shipped with a REPACK command that finally makes VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER safe to run without a maintenance window, plus parallel autovacuum and smarter async I/O. Here's what changed and what to test now.

P.156Astro 6.4 ships a pluggable markdown pipeline and Sätteri, a Rust-based processor that measurably speeds up builds on content-heavy sites. It also can't run your remark or rehype plugins yet. Here's when the trade is worth it.
P.157A circuit breaker stops your application from hammering a failing dependency until it recovers. Here's how the pattern works, the three states that make it up, and how to implement one without over-engineering a simple retry.
P.158OpenAI's GPT-5.6 preview splits into three tiers instead of one model: Sol for frontier work, Terra at half the cost of GPT-5.5, and Luna for high-volume calls. Here's what changed, what it costs, and which tier actually fits your workload.
P.159A command injection flaw in LiteLLM's MCP test endpoints, chained with a Starlette host-header bypass, lets an unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary commands on your AI gateway and steal every provider key behind it. Here's what's affected and how to patch.
P.160TC39 is standardizing signals as a native JavaScript primitive, the same reactive pattern already inside Vue, Solid, Angular, and Preact. It won't ship in browsers for years, but it changes what's worth building a library around today.
P.161FastAPI merged a significant router internals refactor on June 14, 2026, followed by app.frontend() for serving SPAs a week later. Routes are now preserved instead of cloned, dynamic route registration works, and serving a React or Vue frontend from FastAPI no longer requires a workaround.
P.162GitHub Copilot switched from Premium Request Units to AI Credits on June 1, 2026. Code completions remain unlimited. Everything else — chat, code review, pull request summaries — now draws from a monthly credit pool. Here's what you're actually paying for.
P.163In May and June 2026, two separate supply chain attacks hit the npm ecosystem — TanStack (42 packages) and React Native Aria (17 packages). They used different entry points, had different payloads, and should change how every team handles third-party dependencies.
P.164The State of JavaScript 2025 survey results landed in March 2026. 25,000+ responses, and the picture it draws is less 'everything is changing' and more 'the things that work are consolidating.' Vite at 98% satisfaction. TypeScript exclusive for 40% of developers. React dominant but contested.
P.165TC39 finalized ECMAScript 2026 with eight proposals at the March 2026 plenary. Temporal gets the headlines, but the rest of the spec (Iterator Helpers, new Set methods, Promise.try, RegExp.escape, and Float16Array) is worth understanding too. Here's what ships and when you can use it.
P.166Node.js pushed security updates on June 18, 2026 across v22, v24, and v26, patching 12 CVEs. Two are high-severity auth bypasses. The most interesting is undici's HTTP response queue poisoning, which can send the wrong response to the wrong request on keep-alive connections.
P.167CVE-2026-12048 is a CVSS 9.3 stored XSS in pgAdmin 4 that lets a malicious PostgreSQL server inject JavaScript into your browser tab. Every version from 6.0 to 9.15 is affected. The fix is v9.16.
P.168On June 24, 2026, Qualcomm announced a $3.92B all-stock acquisition of Modular, the company behind the Mojo programming language and MAX inference engine. The bet: give AI developers a hardware-agnostic path that bypasses NVIDIA's CUDA lock-in. Here's what actually changes.

P.179Database engineer is distinct from data engineer. One designs schemas, tunes queries, and manages production Postgres. The other builds pipelines. Here's how to hire the one who keeps your app fast.
P.180React Native's New Architecture is now the default. Hiring a good RN developer means finding someone who understands JS/native boundaries, Expo's trade-offs, and when cross-platform is the wrong call.
P.181Salesforce powers enterprise sales and service for over 150,000 companies. Hiring the wrong developer means expensive tech debt inside a platform you can't easily migrate off. Here's what to look for.
P.182WordPress powers 43% of the web, but 'WordPress developer' covers everything from theme configurers to block API engineers. Here's how to find someone who can actually build what you need.

P.187Site Reliability Engineering is a specific discipline, not a synonym for DevOps. Here is how to define the role correctly, screen for the right skills, and avoid hiring an ops generalist and calling them an SRE.
P.188The order you hire your first 10 engineers matters more than the total headcount. Here is how to sequence the hires, what ratios work, and the common mistakes that slow teams down before they start.
P.189Both tools keep your dependencies current automatically. Here is how they actually differ, where each one breaks down, and which to choose based on your team's setup.
P.190Blockchain developer is not one job. Smart contract engineers, dApp frontend developers, protocol engineers, and Web3 security auditors require completely different screens. Here is how to find the right one.
P.191Most developers leave money on the table not because they lack leverage, but because they negotiate too early, disclose their current salary, or accept the first number. Here is what actually works.
P.192Mobile app budgets are consistently underestimated because they only price the build. Here is a complete cost breakdown across app types, platforms, and delivery models, with the hidden line items most quotes leave out.
P.193Firebase's complexity and Supabase's Postgres assumptions do not fit every project. PocketBase, Appwrite, and Convex each solve the backend problem differently. Here is when each one makes sense.

P.198Data scientist and ML engineer are two different jobs. This guide explains the distinction, what a strong data scientist actually does, and what to screen for in the interview to find someone with real analytical judgment.
P.199Frontend developer means different things to different teams. This guide covers the core screen: HTML semantics, CSS fundamentals, Core Web Vitals, and how to test for real skill rather than framework familiarity.
P.200Kotlin is the default language for Android and a growing choice for JVM backend work. This guide explains what to screen for, how Kotlin-specific skills differ from Java, and what the role actually requires.
P.201QA is about risk thinking, not script writing. This guide covers what a strong QA engineer brings to a team, what to test for in an interview, and how to avoid hiring someone who just runs regression suites.
P.202Most hiring managers look at the wrong things on a GitHub profile. Stars and follower counts tell you almost nothing. Here is what to actually look for, and what the AI era changed about reading developer profiles.
P.203AI engineer is not the same job as machine learning engineer. One trains models. The other builds products on top of them. This is the screen that tells them apart and finds candidates who can ship real LLM-powered systems.

P.206Flutter is the dominant choice for cross-platform mobile in 2026. The candidate pool has grown fast, and the gap between someone who did a tutorial and someone who has shipped production apps is wide. Here is the screen.
P.207Everyone claims ML experience since the AI boom. This is the screen that tells apart someone who can build and ship ML systems from someone who fine-tuned a model in a Colab notebook once.
P.208PHP powers the majority of the web and the hiring pool is huge. That makes it easy to hire someone who knows PHP and hard to hire someone who can build with it. Here is the screen that finds the difference.
P.209Laravel 12 is a very different framework than the one people picture when they dismiss PHP. This is a practical look at the stack, the tooling, and when an agency or product team should reach for it.
P.210Vue 3 is now the default and the Options API is legacy. This is what a strong Vue developer looks like in 2026, what questions reveal real skill, and what red flags to watch for.
P.211Rust is growing fast in backend, systems, and WASM roles. Finding developers who actually understand ownership versus those who just fight the borrow checker is the whole challenge.
P.212Rails 8 changed the deployment and infrastructure story significantly. A developer who has kept up looks different from one working off 2019 knowledge. Here is what to screen for.
P.213Both formats have real problems, and AI made the take-home problem worse. Here is an honest look at what each format predicts, where each fails, and the hybrid that works better than either.
P.214Most reference checks are theater. The candidate selects three friends who say nice things, and you move on. Here is how to run reference calls that surface real information before you extend the offer.
P.215Data engineers build the pipelines, warehouses, and transformation layers that make data useful. They are not data scientists, not backend developers, and not analysts. Here is how to hire for the actual role.
P.216Go powers Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, and half the cloud infrastructure tooling used by modern engineering teams. Hiring the right Go developer means understanding what the language attracts and what it demands.
P.217TypeScript is now the default for most web projects, which means the market is full of developers who write TypeScript without understanding it. Here is how to tell them apart.
P.218Full-stack means different things to every team. This is a practical guide to defining what you actually need, running a screen that catches specialists in disguise, and knowing when a generalist is the right call.
P.219Node.js has fractured into async-first, TypeScript-native, and edge-runtime camps. This is the practical screening guide for hiring a Node.js developer who can build production backends, not just Express tutorials.
P.220LLM API bills grow faster than usage. These are the concrete techniques that cut costs by 40-80% without degrading quality: prompt caching, semantic deduplication, tiered model routing, and batch inference.
P.221Choosing the wrong contract structure is one of the most reliable ways to damage a client relationship. Here is a practical guide to SoW, T&M, and the hybrid models that actually work for software projects.

P.268TypeScript 5.0 shipped support for the TC39 Stage 3 decorators proposal. It's different from the old experimentalDecorators, more useful, and now the way to actually write decorators.
P.269Most agency case studies don't convert because they focus on process and outputs instead of client decisions and outcomes. Here's how to write case studies that do the selling for you.
P.270CSS @layer lets you define explicit ordering between your reset, base, components, and utility styles. Here's how cascade layers work and how they simplify stylesheet architecture.
P.271ElysiaJS gives Bun apps fast routing, request validation, and full type inference between server and client — without code generation. Here's how it works and when to use it.
P.272Logs tell you what happened. Error tracking tells you what broke, in what context, for which users. Here's how to set up Sentry properly and avoid the alert fatigue that makes it useless.
P.273The fear of vendor lock-in leads to over-engineering. Here's a practical framework for deciding when to abstract cloud dependencies and when accepting lock-in is the right call.

P.281Git hooks enforced by Lefthook, Husky, or lint-staged can stop broken code, style violations, and type errors before they reach your CI pipeline. Here's how to build a hook setup that teams actually keep.
P.282Adding multi-language support to a React app is straightforward when you pick the right library for your setup. Here's how react-i18next, next-intl, and Lingui differ, and which fits each project type.
P.283Most project estimates fail before a single line of code is written. The problem is almost never the hours. It's the unexamined assumptions buried in them. Here's a more honest estimation process.
P.284Workers AI gives you access to a catalog of open-weight models — Llama, Mistral, Whisper, embedding models — running in Cloudflare's network. Here's what's actually useful, what the limitations are, and when it makes sense.
P.285Most background job solutions require you to run and monitor a Redis instance, manage worker processes, and wire up your own retry logic. Inngest skips all of that. Here's how it works and when it's the right call.
P.286Three real authentication options for Next.js apps, with different trade-offs on control, cost, and setup time. Here's what each one actually involves.

P.288Git worktrees let you have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in separate directories. No stashing, no context switching, no 'just a second while I save my work.'
P.289HTTP/3 replaces TCP with QUIC, a UDP-based protocol that eliminates head-of-line blocking and handles packet loss better. Here's when that matters, when it doesn't, and how to enable and verify it.
P.290DuckDB runs OLAP queries directly in your process, on files on your laptop, without a server. Here's how to use it and when it beats spinning up BigQuery or Redshift.
P.291Every agency project with a marketing team needs a CMS. The options have changed a lot. Here's how Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, and Payload stack up on the criteria that actually matter.
P.292AI video tools have moved from toy to production-grade in 18 months. Here's what's real, what still fails, and how to have an honest conversation with a client about it.
P.293A growing class of AI agent frameworks can control a browser the way a human does — clicking, typing, navigating. Here's what works in production, what breaks, and when to actually reach for these tools.
P.294Go has real strengths for backend API work, and some persistent limitations. Here's what teams actually gain and give up when they choose it over Node.js or Python for web APIs.
P.295Multi-cloud gets pitched as the default choice for serious companies. The reality is more nuanced — and for most teams, the complexity cost is higher than the lock-in risk it's supposed to prevent.
P.296A spec that doesn't get signed is a spec that doesn't protect anyone. Here's how agencies structure technical specifications that move projects forward instead of stalling them.
P.297Three leading agent orchestration frameworks, three different mental models. Here's when each one earns its place, what each costs you in complexity, and what the choice looks like when you're debugging at 2am.
P.298AI projects introduce IP, liability, and data training questions that standard software contracts don't address. Here's the language clients send and what it actually means for an agency taking the work.
P.299Most teams pick an analytics tool based on a free trial and then live with that choice for years. Here's an honest comparison of PostHog, Mixpanel, and Amplitude so you pick the right one before the data gets messy.
P.300React Native's new architecture shipped as stable and has been default since RN 0.76. Here's what the Fabric renderer and JSI bridge replacement changed, what the migration looks like in practice, and where the remaining rough edges are.
P.301Past the chatbot hype, AI is genuinely improving specific e-commerce outcomes. Here are the implementations producing measurable results, and the ones that still mostly disappoint.
P.302Bad documentation is usually not a writing problem — it's a maintenance problem. AI tools are changing the equation by making initial doc generation cheap and doc refresh practical at scale.
P.303Burnout among developers isn't new. But the specific pressures of 2026 — AI-driven productivity expectations, skills anxiety, and the blurring of output and identity — create a different texture of exhaustion.
P.304Interaction to Next Paint replaced First Input Delay in 2024, and most sites still haven't caught up. INP is harder to optimize because it measures every interaction, not just the first one.
P.305CSS Anchor Positioning lets you position one element relative to another using only CSS. No Popper.js, no JavaScript positioning logic, no layout recalculation on scroll. Here's how it works.
P.306gRPC has been available for years but many teams default to REST without thinking through the tradeoffs. Here's how gRPC works, where it fits, and where it doesn't.
P.307k6 is a developer-friendly load testing tool with JavaScript scripting, CI integration, and clear metrics. Here's how to write meaningful load tests, interpret the results, and catch performance regressions before they reach production.

P.309Tauri 2.0 added iOS and Android support while keeping what made 1.x compelling: tiny binaries, Rust backend, and native OS webviews instead of a bundled Chromium. Here's how it works and when to use it.
P.310HTTP caching is one of the highest-leverage performance optimizations available, and one of the most consistently misunderstood. Here is how it actually works, why stale content happens, and how to design a caching strategy that does not surprise you in production.
P.311Project kickoffs are where agency relationships are won or lost. The wrong start leads to scope creep, missed expectations, and a client who stops responding. Here's the exact onboarding process we use.
P.312Breaking API changes are inevitable. How you handle versioning determines whether clients trust your platform or avoid integrating with it. Here's a practical comparison of URL versioning, header versioning, and content negotiation.
P.313Message queues and event streams solve different problems. Kafka is not always the right answer. Here's how to think through event-driven patterns and choose the right tool for your production workload.

P.320Vitest runs faster, works natively with ESM and TypeScript, and uses the same API as Jest. If you're still on Jest in a Vite-based project, here's the case for switching and exactly how to do it.
P.321Biome is a Rust-based JavaScript toolchain that handles linting, formatting, and imports in a single binary. We've been running it in production projects since late 2025. Here's what the migration from ESLint and Prettier actually looks like.
P.322Running containers in production without scanning them is the equivalent of shipping code without running tests. Here's how teams scan images, generate SBOMs, and add runtime protection, from the CI step to the cluster.
P.323Code-first API development produces documentation as an afterthought. OpenAPI-first flips that: you write the spec, generate the server stubs and client SDKs, and enforce the contract at every layer. Here's how it works in practice.
P.324Not every real-time feature needs WebSockets. Server-Sent Events handle most push scenarios with far less complexity. Here's how to choose, and what each approach looks like in actual code.
P.325Background jobs that crash mid-execution lose all their state. Temporal solves this by making workflows durable state machines that survive process restarts, deploys, and outages. Here's what it looks like in TypeScript and Python.
P.326Every public API needs rate limiting, but the algorithm you choose shapes the user experience and the failure modes. Here's how each approach works and when to use it.
P.327Passkeys are no longer an experimental feature. Apple, Google, and Microsoft all support them natively. Here's what WebAuthn actually looks like in code and when passkeys make sense for your app.
P.328Most E2E test suites break as fast as the features they cover. Here's how to write Playwright tests that hold up when the UI changes, the data changes, and the team keeps shipping.
P.329Most technical proposals lose because they describe what will be built, not why the client should trust you to build it. Here's how to write one that actually wins.
P.330Most teams treat their CI pipeline as a black box that occasionally fails. A few hours of optimization can cut your CI time by 40-60% and your GitHub Actions bill by a similar margin. Here's exactly how to do it.
P.331Unit tests tell you if your code does what you wrote. They don't tell you if your AI feature does what users need. Here's how to build an evaluation pipeline that catches the failures that matter before users do.
P.332HashiCorp moved Terraform to a Business Source License in August 2023. OpenTofu forked it under the MPL. Pulumi took a different path entirely. Two and a half years on, the dust has settled enough to make a clear-headed choice.
P.333In March 2024, Redis Ltd. relicensed Redis under a source-available license. Within weeks, the Linux Foundation forked it as Valkey. Two years on, here's how the split played out and what it means for teams choosing an in-memory data store today.
P.334The AI IDE tools everyone uses have a feature most developers set up once and never tune: custom rules. Here's how to write rules that change how the tool generates code, not just what it says it will do.
P.335LLM calls are slow and expensive. Caching them is the obvious move. But caching the wrong responses breaks the user experience in ways that are subtle and hard to debug. Here's a practical guide to doing it right.
P.336Rolling back a bad API endpoint takes seconds. Rolling back a bad LLM integration is harder — the damage may already be in your logs, your users' inboxes, or your clients' feeds. Feature flags are how you ship AI features without betting everything on launch day.
P.337HTTP/3 is in production at every major CDN and supported by all modern browsers. Whether it actually helps your application depends on factors most guides don't explain.
P.338AI features ship fast. Then the monthly API bill arrives. Here's a systematic approach to understanding and reducing LLM costs without breaking the product.
P.339Getting a language model to return valid, schema-conforming JSON is harder than it looks. Here's what works in production, from native structured output APIs to library-level validation.
P.340Most AI project failures start at the scoping stage. The client wants 'AI integration.' The agency quotes a price. Nobody defines what that actually means. Here's how to scope these projects properly.
P.341Every AI integration budget starts with API costs and ends with surprises. Here's what production AI features actually cost once you account for everything the initial estimate missed.
P.342uv is a Python package manager written in Rust that handles dependencies, virtual environments, and Python version management. We've been using it across all our projects since early 2026. Here's what actually changed.
P.343ALTER TABLE locks your database. Your migration takes longer than expected. Users get errors. Here's how to handle schema changes that don't interrupt production traffic.
P.344The choice between fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts is one of the most consequential decisions in an agency-client relationship. Each model transfers risk differently. Here's how to decide which one fits your project.
P.345Traditional monitoring tells you a request took 800ms. It doesn't tell you the LLM spent 600ms on a bad prompt, returned a hallucinated answer, and burned $0.04 in tokens. Here's how to actually instrument AI applications with OpenTelemetry.
P.346Prompt injection is the SQL injection of the AI era. As LLMs ship into production apps by the millions, attackers are learning how to hijack them through the data they consume. Here's what the attack looks like and how to defend against it.
P.347Video calls, live collaboration, real-time audio — features clients want more than ever. WebRTC makes them possible, but the gap between a working demo and a production deployment is wider than the documentation suggests. Here's what that gap looks like.
P.348The honest read on web developer demand after AI's impact, which roles are hot, which are cooling, and what the working week actually looks like across employment types.
