Tuesday night I had two windows open. One was Microsoft's July patch list, long enough that I stopped scrolling and started estimating. The other was a write-up of coding agents getting talked into running attacker scripts against the developer's own...
Quick question, before you proceed: "Did Your AI, LLM, MCP or Agent Make a Mistake Today?"
Be honest, something unexpected/unexplainable happen - correct?
If you're building AI systems today, something probably DID go wrong.
Maybe your agent call...
As an independent mobile developer, building the app is honestly just half the battle. The real chaos starts when you try to get actual humans to download it.
This past week, I set out to do a quick storefront optimization test for my personal inter...
I built a legal AI assistant last year.
One day I asked it:
> "Someone forged my signature."
The first law it retrieved wasn't about forgery.
It was about counterfeit coins.
That was the moment I realized the problem wasn't the LLM.
It was my r...
ExcelBook::save to a file:// path used to truncate your existing file before it finished writing the new one. If the write was short or got interrupted, you were left with neither the old file nor a complete new one. phpexcel 2.4.0 fixes that: the wr...

Have you ever uploaded a photo to Google Lens, ChatGPT, or any AI-powered application and wondered how it instantly knows what's inside the image? Maybe you uploaded a picture of your cat, and within a second the AI ...
Yesterday, I attended a mini conference at zone01 Kisumu that focused on ray tracing, GPUs, and the technology behind modern computer graphics.
Before the session, I had heard these terms many times but didn't fully understand how they worked togeth...
There's always a debate about which one is better, Generalist or Specialist. Well, most of you certainly think that Specialist is the best option. I agree but me myself as Generalist can tell you how fun is to be a Generalist.

When Retries Become the Outage
At 2:17 AM, a payment service started returning errors. Not many. Just enough to attract attention. The dashboards didn't look alarming. CPU utilization was stable. Memory consumption was within normal limits. Infrastr...

Ask any major AI model a question and you'll notice something: it almost always agrees with you. You propose an idea, it tells you the idea is great. You make a claim, it validates the claim. You ask if y...
One of the first things I learned about Agile was that it is flexible and always welcomes change.
In my experience, requirements changed almost every single time, customer feedback arrived midway, and sometimes even a new idea suddenly became much m...
Most founders I talk to treat bookkeeping software as a black box. Transactions go in, categories come out, accountant reviews the mess once a quarter. The marketing copy says "AI-powered" and everyone nods and moves on.
I wanted to understand what...
One of the hardest problems in decentralized systems is this: how do two strangers trade without trusting each other or paying a middleman to coordinate?
In traditional finance, this is solved by centralized exchanges. On the blockchain, we solve it...
Most apps speak one language and silently lose everyone else. ##
If your app is English-only, you are telling a massive portion of the global market to meet you halfway. If you want them to open your app and instantly feel at home—in Spanish, Frenc...
