In modern cloud environments, databases are no longer silent back-end components instead they are active participants in every critical business transaction. As organizations scale globally, the challenge is no longer storing data, but understanding how that data is accessed, changed, and protected in real time. This is where a Database Activity Stream Pipeline becomes essential. … Read more

The biggest breakthrough enabling mass AI adoption last year was reliable function and tool calling. At the start of 2025, major releases – like Claude tools – triggered excitement and panic on social media. They made it easy to optimize basic routine tasks. But the real question is: why did this suddenly work? I recently … Read more

LLMs excel at handling ambiguity and long-tail edge cases, but for well-defined, high-risk tasks, deterministic code remains cheaper, more reliable, and easier to maintain—especially in production.

Large iOS apps break down without strict modular boundaries. This article shows how splitting features into Interface, Implementation, and Tests with Swift Package Manager dramatically reduces build times, simplifies refactoring, and keeps dependencies under control—without over-modularizing the codebase.

How ShareChat engineers rebuilt a low-latency ML feature store on ScyllaDB after an initial scalability failure — and what they learned along the way The demand for low-latency machine learning feature stores is higher than ever, but actually implementing one at scale remains a challenge. That became clear when ShareChat engineers Ivan Burmistrov and Andrei … Read more

The path to a European residency and a more diversified portfolio is attracting a growing wave of U.S. citizens to Portugal’s Golden Visa investment funds. For American investors, the opportunity seems compelling: residency rights in Portugal, visa-free access to the Schengen zone, and exposure to promising sectors within a stable EU economy. Yet, this journey … Read more

Instagram exposes activity but hides sequence. Following lists refresh, reorder, and quietly blur timing. People notice movement yet struggle to place it in time, which turns observation into interpretation. That gap matters because timing changes meaning. A follow from yesterday carries a different weight than one from months ago, but the interface rarely helps you … Read more

Systems don’t fail because they are poorly written; they fail because they cannot keep up with the complex and ever-changing needs of a business. When speaking with Ignacio Brasca, who is a staff software engineer with several years of experience building complex data systems, he emphasized that software behaves much like a biological system—and that … Read more

Across the financial technology sector, large institutions are facing a hard reality. Systems that were built decades ago for stability and control are now under pressure to deliver flexibility, cost efficiency, and faster change. Banks and market infrastructure firms continue to depend on legacy data centers to process sensitive trade data, where outages and errors … Read more

Keycloak’s realm model allows any user in a realm to authenticate any registered client.

FlutterFlow’s upgrade to 3.38.5 is more than a patch—it’s a survival move.

Most developer machines are not clean. They just look clean. At some point, every dev laptop turns into a dumping ground. You install tools to follow a blog post. You try a framework for a weekend. You switch jobs and inherit a new stack. You uninstall things, but only halfway. Binaries stick around. Config files … Read more

Turn a photo and voice into a convincing talking avatar—then add a second character for dialogue. Here’s what longcat-multi-avatar does best, plus experiments to try.

Guess what? There are some useful and fun software programs around for pet owners, too. We can even use some projects for free.

A practical LTX-2 guide: inputs/outputs, text-to-video and image-to-video, the 19B and 8-step variants, BF16 training, LoRA tips, and how to get cleaner results with proper dimensions.

Check Point’s Cyber Security Report 2026 shows 70% increase in cyber attacks since 2023. 60% of executives reported their organizations faced AI-powered attacks, but only 7% had deployed AI defenses at scale. Moody’s 2026 cyber outlook warns that AI-related threats will “become more prevalent and pronounced”

Introduction: The Hypermedia Renaissance We are living in the middle of a hypermedia renaissance. Frameworks like HTMX have correctly identified that the “Single Page Application” (SPA) model often introduces unnecessary complexity, pushing developers to manage state in two places and build expensive APIs for what should be simple UI updates. The core premise of HTMX … Read more

There is a difference between employability and employed. The solution mostly offered is reskilling, upskilling or further education. Project management is no longer a way to marshal tech employees.

A revenue dashboard drops 18% overnight. The pipeline is ‘green.’ The lineage graph looks right. Query history shows the job ran successfully. Yet you still can’t answer the only question leadership cares about: what changed—and can we prove it? Traditional lineage is built for discovery: it shows what depends on what. Incidents demand evidence: what … Read more

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that employee burnout is an “occupational phenomenon”. It goes beyond being tired, having time off, or missing a deadline; it’s a state of ongoing mental and physical exhaustion caused by a range of workplace factors. Employees who are experiencing burnout often feel exhausted, disconnected from their work, struggle to … Read more

We are moving past the era of simply “chatting” with AI code editors. The difference between a junior developer using AI and a senior architect using AI is context orchestration. If you treat Cursor like a chatbot, you get generic code. If you treat it like a specialized agent operating within rigid architectural boundaries, you get … Read more

Over the last year, I keep hearing the same statements in meetings, reviews, and architecture forums: “We’re doing AI.” “We have a chatbot now.” “We’ve deployed an agent.” When I look a little closer, what most organizations really have is not enterprise AI. They have a tool. Usually it is a chatbot, or a search … Read more

The fastest way to get burned by AI coding tools is to treat them like a vending machine: “prompt in, perfect code out.” They’re not. They’re closer to an eager junior engineer with infinite confidence and a fuzzy memory of docs. The output can look clean, compile, and still be wrong in ways that only … Read more
