It always starts with a script. A quick Sharp resize here, a bucket upload there. Six months later, you’re juggling corrupted HEIC files from iPhones, angry support tickets about cropped foreheads, and a stack of technical debt that makes your “simple” profile image file uploader feel like a mini-project of its own. Sound familiar? Let’s walk through … Read more
As AI agents become increasingly sophisticated and integrated into our daily lives, particularly in roles like sifting through vast e-commerce catalogs, a silent and potent threat looms: prompt injection.

Utility apps struggle to monetize through ads or paywalls without harming user experience. Passive monetization via SDKs offers a privacy-compliant, non-intrusive alternative, enabling background revenue without disrupting functionality. This model fits utility apps well and signals a shift away from the saturated attention economy.

APIs and MCPs both let systems communicate, but they serve different audiences. APIs are built for developers to connect software, while the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is built for AI models to safely use tools and access data without executing unsafe code. MCP acts as a controlled bridge — defining tools, schemas, and permissions so … Read more
Systems we build today are, in a sense, disparate from the programs we constructed ten years back. Microservices communicate with one another across network boundaries, deployments happen all the time and not quarterly, and failures propagate in unforeseen manners. Yet most organizations still approach quality and reliability with tools and techniques better applicable in a … Read more

People have been talking about the new AI roles of “Prompt Engineer” and “AI Ethicist”, but according to AI itself, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of the AI Personalization Architect, a role that sits at the intersection of human psychology, data ethics, and generative technology. Below is a breakdown of what this … Read more
Humans didn’t evolve to memorize, we evolved to predict. We process predictions up to 30 times faster than memories because evolution wired us to think ahead, not behind. For 300,000 years, survival meant anticipating where the predator would strike, which seasons would bring drought, when rival tribes would attack. The humans who could predict the … Read more

On the surface, it looks like the answer to all your monitoring needs. But here is the catch: monitoring is not observability. And if you … Read more
When most developers think of JavaScript, the word “single-threaded” often comes to mind. But modern JS runtimes are far more sophisticated than the old “one thread, one call stack” stereotype. From the event loop and async/await to Web Workers, async iterators, and SharedArrayBuffers, today’s JavaScript offers a rich (although muddled) concurrency landscape: one that spans … Read more
