I made two AIs review each other's code for 30 days. A human still caught the bug in 5 minutes.

24+ min ago   (905+ words) Last month I let AI write 100% of my code for 30 days. The single loudest lesson wasn't "AI is amazing" or "AI is useless." It was one sentence: the thing that writes the code can never be the thing that reviews…...

32+ min ago   (173+ words) If you are building a text input that restricts users to a specific character limit (like a tweet, an SMS gateway, or an SEO meta tag), your first instinct is probably to use String.prototype.length. If you are doing…...

Your First AWS Production Architecture: From a Simple Application to a Scalable System

1+ hour, 12+ min ago   (1081+ words) Most people learn AWS by studying individual services. RDS is a database. But that's not how AWS is used in the real world. In a real project, these services work together to solve one problem: How do we run an…...

Designing a deterministic browser-side photo analysis flow

1+ hour, 51+ min ago   (196+ words) While building a small browser-based facial-proportion tool, I found that a few engineering choices matter more than adding another model. The pipeline starts with 478 detected facial landmarks and derives four displayed proportions: harmony, symmetry, eye area, and jawline. The important…...

6+ hour, 20+ min ago   (543+ words) I maintain a 2D game engine in Python called ABS Engine. Last week I decided it needed C. Not because anything was slow. That is the embarrassing part. I wanted to drop a.c file into a folder and call it from Python…...
