OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered browser that integrates ChatGPT into every browsing session with features like browser memory and autonomous agent mode. The announcement sparked fierce debate: tech enthusiasts see it as the future of web browsing, while privacy advocates warn it’s a “brain-smoothing privacy nightmare.” Built on Chromium (ironically, Google’s own open-source engine), … Read more

The traditional sales funnel is being replaced by compounding growth loops, especially in AI products. This model turns a product’s output into its own acquisition channel, creating sustainable, capital-efficient growth. This guide breaks down the three core AI-powered loops (Viral, Content, Integration) and provides a strategic blueprint for product leaders to build and measure them … Read more

With LLM chat applications becoming mainstream, I’ve noticed something quite interesting. Most major companies now offer their apps across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows – which is great, really. We can work from any device we want. But here’s the thing that’s been frustrating me: synchronization. Imagine this – I’m working on a chat on … Read more

So I spend way too much time looking at how companies claiming to be “AI-powered” or “built with AI” actually implement their tech.

As an architect, I know that you cannot create a resilient, coherent structure by starting with whatever ideas come to mind first. You don’t begin by arguing about the color of the curtains or the style of the doorknobs. You start with a master plan. Without one, you’re just dumping truck loads of miscellaneous materials … Read more

Incremental hydration is an advanced type of hydration you can leave sections of your app dehydrated and hydration of choice sections as needed.

Two years ago, a mid-size retailer’s AI-driven ad platform boosted impressions by 40%. They celebrated—until the quarterly report showed revenue flat. The AI had optimized for visibility, not sales. What if your biggest performance leak isn’t in your metrics, but in your mindset? Cognitive bias is the new technical debt. You can’t see it accumulating, … Read more

I’ve been covering reliability incidents and infrastructure breakdowns for fifteen years. I remember when site reliability was mostly about pagers, runbooks, and lucky Friday afternoons when nothing exploded. The toolkit was simple: alert thresholds, escalation policies, and a deep bench of sleep-deprived engineers. The model worked for a time. Then microservices arrived. Then cloud sprawl. … Read more

I spent three hours last Tuesday on a call with a VP of Engineering who’d just burned through their entire quarterly error budget in 48 hours. A botched deployment. The kind you’ve seen before—overly optimistic testing, insufficient canary coverage, and a cascading failure that took down three critical services. The financial damage was immediate: SLA … Read more

I’m Raymond Guo, the cofounder of Noon AI, where we work with thousands of recruiting teams and companies that have quietly begun letting AI handle the early stages of hiring. In the process, I’ve had a front row seat to how automation is reshaping the talent market. Over the past year, I’ve started noticing something … Read more

Most people think intelligence is fixed. You’re born smart or you’re not. End of story. This is Industrial Age propaganda designed to keep you in your lane. Intelligence isn’t your SAT score or how quickly you can solve puzzles. Intelligence is your ability to systematically improve outcomes in areas that matter to you, while remaining … Read more

Picture this – It’s a Tuesday morning, and your company’s entire customer-facing/digital platforms go blank. Your website won’t load, your app shows error messages, and customer support lines explode with complaints. Your IT team investigates internally, thinking it’s a server issue or a cloud provider outage, but thirty minutes in, they realize that you’re under … Read more

AI is rewriting the rules of enterprise software. The first wave of SaaS moved data into vendor-controlled clouds. The new wave moves software and models to the data, inside the customer’s infrastructure. Training a state-of-the-art large language model requires data volumes that would have been unimaginable during the SaaS era. IDC’s 2024 AI Infrastructure Survey … Read more

Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, translate words into numerical vectors so they can process them and produce intelligent, reasoned text. But… how does that really work? In this article, I won’t talk about mathematical functions, probabilities, or neural networks. I’ll explain what really happens — in a way anyone can understand. What Are Numerical … Read more

When machines decide who gets through the door, being good isn’t enough anymoreI had to make an investment for my parents yesterday. It took me a millisecond and I thought “Xavier.” He’s part of a group of entrepreneurs that just started an investment fund. I reached out to him immediately, he replied, 100k minimum investment. … Read more

If you’ve been in this space for a while, you’ve probably developed muscle memory for all the pain points. Install MetaMask. Store your 12-word seed phrase (somewhere “safe”). Buy ETH from an exchange. Move it to your wallet. Pay gas to do literally anything. But for someone new especially in India it’s just… a mess. … Read more

A thought experiment on the security and privacy implications of an AI-native web browser. The tech world is abuzz with the (until recently, hypothetical) launch of OpenAI’s “ChatGPT Atlas” browser. First reported by The Register and PCMag, Atlas represents what many see as the inevitable next step in our relationship with the internet: a browser … Read more

Intro I’ve been in the crypto industry for over 13 years. That’s a long time. Exhaustingly long. About 90% of my work has never been paid for by anyone — and that includes posts, articles, essays, research papers, and books. It’s the development of numerous tokenomics templates for various projects. It’s legal documents. And even … Read more

This article walks through the common struggles developers face when dealing with forms — and how React 19 finally introduces some long-awaited tools that make form handling cleaner, more declarative, and far less error-prone. Over the past six years in frontend development — from building complex form systems to integrating AI tools at SDG — … Read more

Long chains of method calls create tight coupling and ripple effects. Any change in the chain breaks dependent code. TL;DR: Send messages only to your direct acquaintances, not their friends. Problems 😔 Tight Coupling Broken encapsulation Ripple effect Fragile, brittle design Poor readability Difficult testing and maintenance Solutions 😃 Create intermediate methods.

You pay for your coffee with one token, split the rent on your apartment with another, and earn tiny royalties from a funny video you posted thanks to a different token that tracks every play. A world where everything is tokenized feels futuristic, but it’s not far off.  Tokenization means turning ownership, rights, or access … Read more

Every platform claims to help businesses grow. But most growth still feels like managing a hundred moving parts that don’t talk to each other. You create content in one app, run tests in another, track performance in a third, and optimize in a fourth. Every click feels productive — but the system itself stays fragmented. … Read more
