When OpenSearch decides it’s taking a mental health day 🖥️🔥

CORS and CSP, no magic: what they are, how they work, and why they save your day

🤔 Why are we even talking about this? The web 🌍 is awesome because it’s open. You can load resources from here and there, embed YouTube videos, pull in Google Fonts, and even drop in some random third-party widget that promises to “make your site faster” (spoiler: it won’t). The problem is that this same […]

AI + MCP: from text to “done already”

The Chatty AI 🗣️🤖 Back in 2021, when we first started playing around with AI, what we really had was basically a know-it-all bar buddy.

Why a Slow Login Could Save You from a Legendary Sh*tstorm… or how to implement login the right way

🚀 The Modern Password Paradox We live in an age where everything has to be instant: the site loads in 100 ms, scrolling is smooth as butter, and users expect to be logged in before they even finish typing their email.

“We don’t deploy on Fridays.” You’ll hear this in many (seriously, many) IT departments like it’s written in stone. As if, come Friday afternoon, the code turns evil, the tests rebel, and the servers decide they’ve worked enough for the week.

AI writes 30% of your code (but guess who fixes the bug)

According to Google, 30% of the code developers write is now generated by AI. Sounds amazing… until you stop and ask: what does that actually mean for me? Does that mean we work 30% less?
