Most engineering orgs will tell you their remote tooling works. Standups happen. Documentation gets written. Decisions get made and recorded somewhere searchable. And yet trust between teams that rarely interact keeps eroding anyway, in a way nobody can quite trace back to a specific broken process, because the process is not what broke. A thought … Read more

When your application needs to find a customer record among millions of entries, seconds matter. But the real mystery isn’t the speed—it’s how databases manage to locate one specific record from billions in milliseconds. This guide unravels that mystery by examining the core machinery that powers modern data systems. Beyond Simple Storage Most developers treat … Read more

A new discipline is forming at the intersection of autonomous agents and go-to-market Growth hacking was a human discipline: a small team found a behavior a platform rewarded, exploited it before anyone else noticed, and moved on when the platform closed the gap.

All heroes and villains have an origin story. So why shouldn’t apps have as well?

In case you haven’t had … Read more

A generative AI assistant given to more than 5,000 customer support agents raised the number of issues they resolved per hour by 15%, according to research published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics. The gains landed hardest on the least experienced agents, who got faster and better at the same time. Results like that are … Read more

AI labs spend a lot of time on the public web. They collect pages for training sets, check models against live sites, and run agents that need to browse the way a person would. Most of that traffic still leaves from data-center IP addresses, because those are cheap and easy to meter. Websites have learned … Read more

AI reviewing AI? What could possibly go wrong? Well, for starters, the biggest issue here is bias. If a model has written the code, it probably shouldn’t be the one doing the review. Then there’s the fact that these code reviews shouldn’t be fully outsourced to LLMs (even though they can assist you pretty well, … Read more

Nine days ago the president of Kyrgyzstan gave his central bank a deadline: build a working digital som platform and pilot it by 31 December 2026, test it with real users in 2027, then roll it out to the country in stages.

Two years ago, searching a large marketplace catalogue in anything other than English or Chinese was close to useless. Type a plain description of what you want in Hebrew, Arabic or Polish and you get a handful of results, most of them irrelevant. The catalogue has hundreds of millions of listings. The problem is not … Read more

Saudi Arabia awarded $196 billion of giga-project construction contracts in 2025, a fifth more than the year before, with another $431 billion of announced investment along the Red Sea coast still waiting to be tendered.

Pick almost any service today, and there is probably a startup trying to turn it into software: an AI accountant, AI recruiter, AI support rep, AI lawyer, AI travel agent. Some of those products will work. Some will disappear quietly. Most will land somewhere in the middle, where a part of the service becomes software, … Read more

I have spent most of my career on the defending side of this problem, and for years I could rely on one comfortable assumption: the number of people capable of scraping my clients’ data at scale was small. Not because the defenses were good. Because the work was annoying. That assumption stopped being true, and … Read more

Disclaimers are explicitly worth nothing. There is exactly one measure the regulator recognises, and it is built, not written. MiCA and design, part two of two. Written with Serhii Barinov of SBLC. The previous issue ended on an uncomfortable note. A long list of ordinary growth decisions, domains, language versions, SEO targeting, affiliates, creators, educational … Read more

A Ground-Breaking Framework that Could Permanently Change How We Work with Cryptography in the Quantum Age On 5 September 2026, a proof appeared. It had been ninety years in the making. It answered one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems — the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, a question about whether the equations governing fluid … Read more

What happens when an LLM call fails on flaky Wi-Fi? How we engineered a deterministic fallback engine that keeps our mobile app 100% functional offline. The dirty secret of many modern “AI-native” mobile apps is that they are completely bricked the moment the phone loses internet connectivity. If an app routes every single user tap … Read more

TL;DR: The proposed U.S. Space Academy is not an operating school yet. It is a 120-day attempt to decide whether the United States needs a dedicated pipeline for the engineers, operators, civil servants, military personnel and commercial leaders who would run a far busier space economy. The strongest case for the academy is not astronaut … Read more

AI Writing: When a Perfectly Reasonable Scientific Sentence Goes One Step Too Far A while ago, I was working on a chemistry manuscript about Ce³⁺-doped perovskite microlasers, and one AI-generated continuation caught my attention. The manuscript had reached this sentence: “Ce³⁺ may regulate the energy-level arrangement.” It was trying to explain a specific experimental observation: … Read more

Making an image with ChatGPT is easy. Making the image you actually had in your head is a different job. I worked that out fairly quickly. Type something like “create a professional image of a programmer working at a computer,” and you will get an image. It probably will not be a good one. The … Read more

In January 2026, YouTube terminated 16 channels that had racked up a combined 4.7 billion lifetime views and roughly $10 million a year in ad revenue. The platform called it a crackdown on “AI slop.” What YouTube actually enforces is narrower and blunter than that headline suggests: its systems lean on whether a human face … Read more

Search “low-latency crypto trading framework,” and you will find a lot of microsecond claims. Almost none of them tell you where the stopwatch started and where it stopped. That omission is the whole game. “Sub-100µs” can mean the time from a network packet arriving at your NIC to an order acknowledgment coming back from the … Read more

There is a story going around about artificial intelligence and trust. It goes like this: AI floods the world with cheap, plausible content, so the genuine article becomes scarce, and scarcity means value, so credibility is the new moat. Build trust and win. I believed a version of this but after doing some research, my … Read more
