Neri Bluman and co-founder Beeri Amiel recognized this inflection point early and launched XFunnel to pioneer Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)—maintaining brand visibility in AI-driven discovery. Ten months later, HubSpot acquired the company, validating both the urgency of the problem and their solution.

For some time, JavaScript events loop used to confuse me. JavaScript is single-threaded, but still it handles thousands of things at the same time (e.g user clicks, network calls and even setting timers). I have always wondered how that worked. After studying and implementing it for a while, it has improved how I build web … Read more

Why your beautifully coded website might actually be a user experience nightmare, and how AI can bully you into fixing it. We’ve all been there. You have just spent the last three weeks living on caffeine and determination while pushing pixels until 4 AM. You finally deploy your side project. To you, it is a … Read more

AI is no longer just a front-end feature; it is rapidly becoming a first-class person of back-end engineering. Whether you are creating intelligent APIs, automations, or context-based microservices, the ability to plug Large Language Models (LLMs) into Spring Boot can become a superpower. But thanks to Spring AI, it’s not as difficult as it seems. … Read more

A troubling pattern is emerging in AI deployments across the industry. Engineers who would never expose a database to the public internet are serving LLM inference endpoints with nothing but a static Bearer token protecting them. Security reviews focus on “does it hallucinate?” instead of “can it execute arbitrary commands?” AI models are not opaque … Read more

Am I alone in thinking that pretty much every week, another paper drops claiming state-of-the-art performance on the latest model? You read it, understand the innovation, and then face the real question: will this actually work for my case? In applied AI for computer vision (CV), we live in this cycle constantly. Research benchmarks rarely … Read more

A practical 5-step chunking approach that cuts token costs by 87% while preserving the content that matters most.

I have been eyeing the YOW! conferences for probably more than a decade. They occur in Australia, and feature top industry experts. I was thus overjoyed when they invited me to speak on the YOW! tour earlier this year. Here’s a summary of my amazing time there. My participation YOW! takes place in three different … Read more

Beyond a certain complexity threshold, progress depends less on generation speed and more on architectural clarity.

SQL practice is boring because nothing feels real. You type SELECT * FROM users, get a green checkmark, move on. The data means nothing. The queries go nowhere. You’re just practicing syntax in a vacuum. Real SQL work isn’t like that. Finding a production bug at 2am by joining three tables and spotting the anomaly – … Read more

We created a churn prediction model to determine which users will exit within one week. At the first phase of the model testing, which was done offline, the model performed well with a precision rate of 80% and 75% recall rate, showing success.  A very impressive beginning that received favourable feedback. Then we proceeded to … Read more

I’ve worked as a web developer for a decade now. When starting something fresh, I usually go with my gut npx create-next-app. It seems fresh. It just works. Shipping to Vercel? Totally hooked. When I began crafting Reddit Toolbox – a marketing tool for indie makers – I just went with it. No second thoughts. … Read more

Modernizing a legacy system feels a lot like renovating an old house. Every time you fix one part of the foundation, another crack appears. And yet, for many small businesses and mid-sized enterprises relying on outdated software, modernization isn’t optional anymore — it’s a survival strategy. Over the past few years running a software development … Read more

We need to have a serious talk about “Agent Swarms.” If you’ve been on X (Twitter) or Reddit lately, the narrative is clear: One agent is good, but ten agents are god-like. We’ve all seen the demos. “Look! I made a CEO agent, a CTO agent, and a coder agent, and they built a startup … Read more

Amp’s Thread Map visualizes what AI coding agents are doing and how their work connects, helping keep context intact and making parallel tasks easier.
