It started with a Discord bot React ChatBotify is an open-source project I maintain, and part of that meant looking after its websites and servers. When things went wrong, the usual routine was to check services, inspect logs, and at times, the fix was as simple as a restart. Sometime in late July 2025, I started playing with a fairly simple idea - what if I could troubleshoot the infrastructure behind React ChatBotify simply by talking to a Discord bot? The idea was simple: let the bot help me ...
Introduction This week, I decided to slow down and go deeper into the Spring Framework. Instead of focusing heavily on building new features, I spent most of my time understanding what happens behind the scenes in the framework I use to build backend applications. I explored concepts around Spring AOP, JDBC, Caching, Reactive Programming, and Concurrency, learning not just how to use these features, but the problems they are designed to solve. Alongside my learning, I continued applying for back...
We've already seen that Raku understands characters like â, and it would be logically that you can use them with ease, similar to any other constructs of the language. Take, for example, a sequence with no definite end. You define a pattern and take as many items as you need. say (1, 1, * + * ... â)[^10]; Here, the pattern defines a Fibonacci sequence and we only take the first 10 elements of it: (1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55) You don't know upfront what the 10th element will be, so just say that the...
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Dog Days Edition TL;DR â A walker records the walk on their phone, the route is hashed in the browser, and a 147-byte attestation signed by the walker's own key lands on Solana devnet. The owner checks the trace they were handed against the chain, and the app tells a tampered route apart from a corrupted file. Move one GPS fix eleven metres and the hash changes completely. That's the whole product. What I Built My first idea for this challenge died on ...
Testing email workflowsâlike OTP verification, password resets, or automated notificationsâis a core requirement for robust end-to-end (E2E) automation. However, automating Office 365 (O365) Shared Mailboxes via UI logins or legacy IMAP basic authentication is a nightmare. UI logins trigger MFA, IMAP basic auth is deprecated across Microsoft 365, and browser automation for Outlook web is notoriously flaky. The enterprise-grade solution? Use Microsoft Graph API with Client Credentials (App-Only) ...
As a developer and creator, figuring out what actually drives engagement on social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X usually requires hours of manual digging or expensive analytics tools. To solve this, I built Statly, a Chrome extension that turns any Instagram, TikTok, or X account into a ranked report of whatâs actually working. Why I Built It Most social analytics tools give you high-level vanity metrics, but they don't break down content performance at a granular level. I wanted a lig...

Most AI workflow posts focus on prompts, tools or output quality. Those matter, but they are not the first thing I want to trust. The first thing I want to trust is the audit trail. If an AI workflow suggests a commercial follow-up, changes a queue, routes a conversation or asks for human review, I want to know: what surface executed the decision; what system would be affected; whether human approval was required; what context or evidence shaped the suggestion; what it likely cost; what happened...

I recently discovered that Pony's still alive. I had discovered Pony a few years ago while browsing tech forums. Its focus on memory safe & lock-free MT was interesting. I kept up with the weekly development for a brief period but then kind of forgot about the language until recently when I rediscovered it when I was chatting about Crystal's MT. I just wanted to share the latest blog post here in case someone else remembers this language. Looks like the development has been progressing steadily....

Star Wars Zero Company takes place right at the end of The Clone Wars, my favorite period in Star Wars' huge timeline. That conflict begins with the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones and concludes with the deaths of the Separatist leaders in Revenge of the Sith, but a vast majority of the galaxy-spanning war is covered in the seven seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. As such, Zero Company makes several references to the earlier seasons of the TV show that debuted in 2008. The biggest ...
Let me get this straight: I play a lot of the best fighting games. I enjoy playing them. I am not good at the genre. Anything online requires me to adapt to players far beyond my skill level, and itâs almost pointless for me to attempt to reach that level. I just donât have the time or patience to do it, but that doesnât mean I canât praise a game when it smashes it out of the park. After waiting for almost a decade for Injustice 3, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is keeping me occupied, and, to be...
As someone who talks about their fascination with space to an unhealthy degree, you can bet that Starfield was my most anticipated game for years. The first original IP from Bethesda Game Studios in over two decades, it looked like a sci-fi take on Fallout, offering a new universe to explore from the developer behind some of the best RPGs available. While it initially didnât live up to my hefty expectations, itâs now in better shape following multiple updates. Best of all, you can get it even ch...

Players will also be able to go hands-on with the Zodiac map ahead of launch. As shown in the image below, Zodiac is a map that appears to have an industrial setting.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to receive its first major patch next week, one that will give players more control over the game's visuals as well as make improvements to Jackals and Sgt. Johnson. As outlined by the Halo Support X account, a patch coming sometime next week will fix a few pain points for players of Halo Studios' remake. The update should make graphics purists happy, as it will add the ability to disable the game's very noticeable film grain and chromatic aberration. The patch will...
