Whatβs Wrong With Data Validation β and How It Relates to the Liskov Substitution Principle
Introduction: When You Donβt Know if You Should Validate In everyday software development, many engineers find themselves asking the same question: βDo I need to validate this data again, or can I assume itβs already valid?β Sometimes, the answer feels uncertain. One part of the code performs validation βjust in case,β while another trusts the input, leading to either redundant checks or dangerous omissions. This...

The Kill Switch: A Coder's Silent Act of Revenge
In the age of code dominance, where billions of dollars are controlled by lines of code, a frustrated coder crossed the boundary between protest and cybercrime. What began as a grudge became an organized act of sabotage, one that now could land him 10 years in federal prison. Recently, a contract programmer was fired by a US trucking and logistics company. But unbeknownst to his bosses, he had secretly embedded a...

Expert Techniques to Trim Your Docker Images and Speed Up Build Times
Key Takeaways Pick your base image like you're choosing a foundation for your house. Going with a minimal variant like python-slim or a runtime-specific CUDA image, is hands down the quickest way to slash your image size and reduce security risks. Multi-stage builds are your new best friend for keeping things organized. Think of it like having a messy workshop (your "builder" stage) where you do all the heavy lifting...

Benchmarking Frontends in 2025
Hey r/programming, For a while now, I've felt that our standard frontend benchmarks don't tell the whole story for the kind of complex, data-heavy apps many of us spend our days building. Core Web Vitals are great for initial load, and the popular js-framework-benchmark is useful, but it has two major limitations for testing at-scale apps: it forbids virtualization/buffered rendering, and it doesn't simulate real-world...
Documenting Code is boring β¦.but it doesnβt have to be
This article got me thinking about the fundamental paradox in our industry - we all desperately need good documentation, but most of us hate creating it. The piece talks about making docs βless boringβ through better design and structure, but Iβm more curious about the underlying problem: is the pain of writing documentation actually worth solving, or do most developers just accept it as a necessary evil? In my...
