Get ahead of the curve with the latest insights, trends, and analysis in the tech world.
The phrase “Garbage in, Garbage out” is not a new one, and nowhere is this phrase more applicable than in machine learning. The most sophisticated and complex model architecture will crumble under the weight of poor data quality. Conversely, high-quality and reliable data can power even simple models to drive significant business impact. In this post, we will deep dive into why data quality is critical, what dimensions...
Hey r/programming! Ever faced major headaches due to bad data infiltrating your systems? It's a common problem with huge costs, impacting everything from analytics to compliance. I've been looking into proactive solutions, specifically API-driven validation for things like email, mobile, IP, and browser data. It seems like catching issues at the point of entry is far more effective than cleaning up messes later. What...
I'm doing a small reactive library ( no VDOM, direct manipulation and quite "mechanical" as it will be used for a generator later but still ergonomic enough to write by hand ) for fun and learning purpose, to learn how a reactive library works and also later how a compiler and generator works. So the first step I'm tackling is the actual reactive library, for now I got to a point where I think it works well and has...
One problem about coding and documentation is keeping your docs up-to-date, no developers likes documentation. Or even worse, knowing which and what parts out of thousands of docs to update. We are launching Drift AI soon. With every push to your main branch, we retrieve relevant documents, highlight and suggest edits to outdated parts, and tag the right engineer to approve the edits. No new platforms, we directly...
just nuked 120+ unused npm deps from a huge Nx monorepo using Knip. shaved a whole minute off yarn install. wrote up the whole process, including how to avoid false positives. if you got npm bloat, this is for you submitted by /u/Beautiful_Spot5404 [link] [comments]
I am a software industry veteran of soon to be 20 years. Here is part one of a series of blog posts where I share my journey in tech starting as a teenager in the late 90s starting on a graphing calculator. How did you get your start in programming? submitted by /u/jkndrkn [link] [comments]
Hey r/programming, After a decade in tech, I did the only reasonable thing: collected all the jargon, Agile rituals, corpoland buzzwords, startup chaos, and AI hype… and turned them into a book-length satire. Think of it as a dictionary of survival for anyone who’s ever sat through a sprint planning that felt like group therapy, or watched a manager rename “bugs” into “undocumented features.” The book officially...
I want to write blog posts regarding Python, ML and DL, and this is my first blog post. Do you guys think i should do this long term? also appreciate some support !! he he submitted by /u/Successful-Ad2549 [link] [comments]
I’ve been coding with scratch on and off for the past ~4-5 years, but I really want to try to buckle down and make a full, cool game on like unity or UE or something. How should I go about doing that? I did take a coding class last year for python, so i kind of know the basics, but I really wanna give it a real try. Any tips? submitted by /u/No-Subject-619 [link] [comments]
I found that any time a code file gets into the 1000+ lines size, Github CoPilot spends a long time having to traverse through it looking for the functions it needs to edit, wasting those precious tokens. To ease that burden, I decided to build a python script that recursively runs through your code base, documenting every single file and directory within it. These documents can be referenced by LLM's as they work on...
Dear r/programming community, I'd like to discuss my solution to a common challenge many teams encounter. These teams work on their projects using PostgreSQL for the database layer. Their tests take too long because they run database migrations many times. If we have many tests each needing a new PostgreSQL database with a complex schema, these ways of running tests tend to be slow: Running migrations before each test...
You're on a team where devs speak different languages. The codebase comments are in English. To understand the code, you use a tool to translate comments to your native language (say, French). You do your work, writing your own comments in French so you can think clearly. You submit a pull request. Now what? Do you: Submit your French comments, fragmenting the codebase language? Manually re-translate every comment you...
The meme status of Haskell is well established, but is it a good gateway to learn more about functional programming? This video looks at my experience getting the platform up and running and my opinions on who is best suited to learn more about this language. submitted by /u/stumblingtowards [link] [comments]
This is a devlog that follows an update to a previous feature that I added to my game Galatic Inc.

Android is always evolving, and sometimes those changes happen a bit under the hood. One such change that's been gaining traction—and now has a firm deadline from Google—is the move to a 16 KB page size. If you're an Android developer, especially wit...
Hello fellow gladiators, I conducted deep research for a comparative analysis of the software engineering environment from 2000 to 2025 and the report is in the Google Drive. But I want to discuss the current software engineering environment. I've been absent from the software engineering scene for 4 years now, and I returned, and the amount of my shock at how it has become so notoriously difficult is like a...
Abstract This is a recall-perfect pipeline for prime number searches that lets you dial the precision with two knobs: a scale-aware wheel sieve bound B(n) and the number of Miller–Rabin bases k. Step 1 is a high-recall prefilter (the “Purple Stripe”: numbers n where n mod 6 is 1 or 5). Step 2 adds anti-helices (a wheel built from small primes) whose filtering strength grows with the number n being tested. Step 3 runs a...
As machine learning programs require ever-larger sets of data to train and improve, traditional central training routines creak under the burden of privacy requirements, inefficiencies in operations, and growing consumer skepticism. Liability information, such as medical records or payment history, can't easily be collected together in a place due to ethical and legal restrictions. Federated learning (FL) has a...
For most of its history, networking has been a standards-first, protocol-governed domain. From the OSI model to the TCP/IP stack, progress was measured in working groups and RFCs, not GitHub commits. But that is changing fast. Projects like eBPF and Cilium, along with the architectural demands of Kubernetes, are moving networking from a specification-bound world into a software-driven, open source ecosystem. What...

For many years now, software engineers have used the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) as their main place to write and debug code. Your IDE should become a partner that helps you by predicting what you need to do, correcting mistakes automatically, and making complex code from simple prompts. "Vibe coding" is changing the field of software engineering rapidly. Its main idea is LLM-first development. Andrej...
The GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) is a powerful tool developed by GitHub that allows developers to interact with GitHub directly from the terminal. It provides a simple way to perform many GitHub tasks without leaving the command line interface...
One-week sprint cycles in Scrum can significantly improve project outcomes through vibe coding approaches. Research shows that Agile techniques increase the success rate of projects by 21% compared to traditional methods (Ogirri & Idugie, 2024). Developers using AI assistance produce 26% more and finish 55% faster. Vibe coding maximizes the developer's flow state and focused attention, which works well with shorter...

As data engineers, we’ve all encountered those recurring requests from business stakeholders: “Can you summarize all this text into something executives can read quickly?”, “Can we translate customer reviews into English so everyone can analyze them?”, or “Can we measure customer sentiment at scale without building a new pipeline?”. Traditionally, delivering these capabilities required a lot of heavy lifting. You’d...

With the rise of AI agents and agentic systems, we’re no longer just generating text or images, we’re teaching AI how to take actions. Instead of asking, “Can AI write this for me?” you can now ask, “Can AI do this for me?” From updating CRMs to mana...
Preamble I recently had a conversation with my friend about starting a new company. We discussed the various stages a company should go through to become mature and secure enough to operate in the modern market. This article will outline those stages. The suggested approach is based on the following principles: Security by default Security by design Identification, authentication, and authorization Segregation of...

Every engineer who implemented KYC systems has dealt with a frustrating reality. You build rule-based engines that break every time regulations change. Document processing takes days because everything goes through manual review queues. API integrations become brittle nightmares when you're trying to coordinate identity verification, OCR services, and watchlist screening. The numbers tell the story: most KYC systems...
If you’ve ever tried to scale your organization’s data infrastructure beyond a few teams, you know how fast a carefully planned “data lake” can degenerate into an unruly “data swamp.” Pipelines are pushing files nonstop, tables sprout like mushrooms after a rainy day, and no one is quite sure who owns which dataset. Meanwhile, your real-time consumers are impatient for fresh data, your batch pipelines crumble on every...
