Introduction In modern cloud environments, traditional approaches for storing logs in isolated systems have become inadequate. As distributed software systems become more common, where different components run across multiple services and regions, it is essential to continuously collect and forward both system and application logs to a centralized location for in-depth analysis. These logs play an important role in...

The AI Co-Pilot: How to Lead When Your Team's Best Player Is a Machine
It’s happening in stand-ups and one-on-ones everywhere. An engineer explains how they cleared a mountain of tickets over the weekend. "How'd you get it all done?" you ask. The answer is a quiet admission, almost a confession: "Uh, I was using Copilot." For years, we've managed teams of people. Now, we're managing teams of people who have an incredibly productive, sometimes inscrutable, and tireless new partner. This AI...
Chris’ Corner: Clever Clever
David Darnes made a web component, which is a basic HTML/CSS/JS panel layout that renders them into an iframe (using the very cool web component as well). Then it ate itself when Ariel Salminen put a in a . Then the universe collapsed upon itself when Rob Rhoades made a code pen […]
Exploring QtJambi: A Java Wrapper for Qt GUI Development—Challenges and Insights
I recently experimented with QtJambi, a Java wrapper for the well-known Qt C++ library used to build GUIs. Here are some initial thoughts, remarks and observations: Building a QtJambi project can be somewhat challenging. It requires installing the Qt framework, configuring system paths to Qt’s native libraries, and setting proper JVM options. Although it is possible to bundle native libraries within the wrapper JARs, I...
C3 Language at 0.7.5: Language tweaks and conveniences
Just released C3 0.7.5! For those unfamiliar, C3 is a systems programming language that takes a different approach than Zig or Odin in the "better C" space. (What makes C3 different: Evolutionary, not revolutionary, tries to stay close to C while fixing its pain points. You can learn it quickly if you know C. Compile-time introspection and programming without too much complexity. Modern conveniences (slices, error...
Building a Rate Limiter and Throttling Layer Using Spring Boot and Redis
Imagine your backend API is stable, performant and deployed to production. Then someone writes a buggy frontend loop or a bot goes rogue, and suddenly your endpoint gets hit 100 times a second. That’s how your server’s CPU spikes, your database becomes overloaded, response times shoot up, and eventually your application turns unusable for real users. Even well-architected systems can crumble under this kind of stress,...
Top Metrics to Watch in Kubernetes
Introduction If you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in a Kubernetes incident, watching a production microservice fail with mysterious 5xx errors, you know the drill: alerts are firing, dashboards are lit up like a Christmas tree, and your team is scrambling to make sense of a flood of metrics across every layer of the stack. It’s not a question of if this happens-it’s when. In that high-pressure moment, the true...
Enhancing Productivity With RAG-Based GenAI Solutions
So what exactly is RAG? In simple terms, it stands for retrieval-augmented generation. Let us focus on these two aspects: retrieval and generation. With standard generative AI (GenAI), you provide a prompt, and a GenAI application would use a large language model to come up with a suitable response for the prompt. Now, imagine an application that can retrieve information from various sources and then generate a...

Code That Isn’t Afraid of Change
In this article, you’ll find some personal observations and tips on how to keep a project alive and healthy over the years. No illusions of omniscience. With a touch of healthy cynicism. My personal experience is in building services as part of product development. In this article, I’m talking specifically about that kind of development–not about creating libraries, frameworks, databases, or other wonderful things. Nor...

The Statistical AI Parrot in Your Sprint
TL; DR: The AI Parrot in the Room Your LLM tool doesn’t think. It’s a statistical AI parrot: sophisticated and trained on millions of conversations — but still a parrot. Teams that fail with AI either don’t understand this or act as if it doesn’t matter. Both mistakes are costly. The uncomfortable truth in Agile product development isn’t that AI will replace your team (it won’t) or that it’s useless hype (it isn’t)....
ADB & Fastboot GUI - Documentation
Good afternoon, forum. Today, I'd like to introduce you to Version 2 of my ADB & Fastboot GUI software. Here are the features I've added in this version: A new design has been introduced. Dark Theme and Color theme options have been adjusted. The application uninstall screen has been completely redesigned. A custom message box has been designed instead of the standard Windows message boxes. The program is now...
Toward Explainable AI (Part 5): Bridging Theory and Practice—A Hands-On Introduction to LIME

Google is Restricting Android’s Freedom – Say Goodbye to Installing APKs?
Android’s freedom is at risk. Google plans to block APK installations from unverified sources in Android 16 (2026). This affects students, gamers, developers, and anyone who relies on apps outside the Play Store. We can’t let Android become like iOS – closed and restrictive. Sign the petition and make your voice heard! Let’s show Google that users want choice, openness, and freedom. Sign the petition to stop Google...
Spacing Over Cards
This is more about design but programmers, especially indies, would benefit more from it. TL;DR: cards got overused. Often you can achieve better results by applying the proximity principle instead. The principle is, recursively, internal spacing should be no larger than external spacing. submitted by /u/Odd-Tell9763 [link] [comments]
The Sprint Retro Flow that actually improves velocity
Ever walked out of a retro feeling like nothing changed? I had the same conversation with a lead dev—great ideas, but no follow‑up. The trick? A 30‑minute retro that ends with just one or two clear actions and an owner for each. Warm‑up & goal reminder Quick check‑in on past actions Silent brainstorm & voting on top pain points Define the next steps and lock them in Keep it tight, keep it focused, and...

The Most Minimal Kanban
Wrote this article about implementing the most minimal version of a software kanban, and what that might say about software design. Hope you enjoy. I wanted to play around with using CLI tools in Linux for stuff most people would write a web app for. I think it'd be possible to make this model work with bash / yq but didn't want to go heavy on programming the concept (until later). submitted by /u/fd93_blog [link]...
AI collaborator wrote a working C compiler from scratch
The repo is linked if anyone wants to check the source itself. I’ve been experimenting with using AI to build more complex software systems. Over the past few weeks, we (me + “Eve,” my AI collaborator) attempted to create a C89 compiler with an LLVM backend. The purpose of the experiment is to let an agent go wild and see what it can do, not to replace humans or make it seem like a production-level compiler. The...

Why It’s Time to Reevaluate Quality Control Methods in Data Labeling
What if the foundation of your AI models is built on flawed data without you knowing? The era of AI data labeling has undergone a dramatic transformation. What once involved straightforward tasks, such as answering “Is there a cat in this image?” or drawing bounding boxes around clearly defined objects, now demands sophisticated data preparation. Modern data labeling is far more complex: multi-modal datasets require...
The $69 Billion Domino Effect: How VMware’s Debt-Fueled Acquisition Is Killing Open Source, One Repository at a Time
Bitnami’s decision to end its free tier by August 2025 has sparked widespread outrage among developers who rely on its services. This change is part of Broadcom CEO Hock Tan’s strategy to monetize essential software following acquisitions, impacting countless users and forcing companies to either pay steep fees or undergo costly migrations. submitted by /u/gamunu [link] [comments]
