Here's something the container ecosystem doesn't say loudly enough: runc is not the only option, and for a growing number of production workloads, it's the wrong one. AWS Lambda doesn't run your function in a Docker container. It runs it in a Firecracker microVM. Fly.io's Machines? Firecracker fork.
Hey friends. Let's have an honest conversation about landing a tech job in the current market in 2026. The reality is that securing even a first interview now requires far more strategy, preparation, and persistence than it did just a few years ago. As I wrap up my current freelance work and watch A
This article covers the initial setup and configuration for the Antigravity CLI on the AWS Cloud Shell. Why? Sometimes you need more than one Cloud! The Google Antigravity CLI is a lightweight Terminal User Interface (TUI) that allows developers to invoke, monitor, and interact with Google Antigravi
The move to block the acquisition of the cloud company that hosts the Dutch digital ID service comes as Europe continues to reduce its reliance on U.S. technology.
useState looks simple on the surface, but behind it is one of the core ideas that makes React work: persistent state + re-rendering. In this article, we'll build a tiny version of useState ourselves to understand the mental model behind it. First, we know that the useState returns a state and a func
The previous article argued that compilers could check more than they currently do — and that the agentic coding era makes this urgent. The articles that follow demonstrate specific features in Ruuk, a language designed around that idea. But Ruuk's syntax is based on F#, and if you've never seen an
Express.js made backend development in JavaScript ridiculously simple. Before Express, building APIs in Node felt like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual 😅. There was a time when JavaScript lived only inside browsers. Frontend? JavaScript. Then came Node.js in 2009 and everything changed.
AI Coding Standards at Scale: How We Versioned Our Team's AI Rules with Claude Code "AI amplifies best practices… and worst ones." TL;DR AI without shared rules amplifies chaos as fast as it amplifies good practices Treating AI instructions as versioned, distributed team contracts changes the dynami
Spend a few hours in Claude Code and count what you actually read: tool output, reasoning traces, permission prompts, explanations. Maybe 20% is code. The rest is English at body size, continuous, for hours. Standard terminal themes are built around syntax highlighting — they're solving a different
(Ruuk shares syntax with F#. A brief introduction to F# is provided here if you need it.) As a tech lead, I'd set minimum standards for API error handling — every call covers 400, 401, 403, 500. In ticket reviews I'd still find three failure scenarios in the notes and one in the code. Developers had
Originally published on subhanfarrakh.com/blog Every team I've worked on has had the same conversation at some point: "The design doesn't match what the library gives us, but overriding it is a nightmare." You end up in specificity wars, wrapping components in extra divs, and fighting the library's
Kin Lane, API industry analyst and co-founder of Naftiko, believes that the bill for AI is coming soon. It’s arriving The post Taming the agentic influx: a blueprint for AI business observability appeared first on The New Stack.
Originally published on subhanfarrakh.com/blog Most portfolio sites don't need React to render a headline. Yet most developers — myself included — reach for a React SPA by default. The result is hundreds of kilobytes of JavaScript shipped to the browser before a single word of content appears. I spe
When I first started experimenting with GPT image generation for my Garden Visualizer project, I honestly thought the workflow would be simple: Upload image Write one good prompt Receive perfect result A prompt like: “Add low-maintenance shrubs to this Auckland backyard.” And it works? Not exactly!…

The CFTC has spent the past eighteen months reshaping the prediction market industry not through formal rulemaking but through selective enforcement, strategic non-enforcement, and amicus interventions.

Introduction In some ways, a lot has changed since my last post, and in other ways, not much has changed. There has been a big shift in the last 12 months, especially toward "agentic engineering" and how we run multi-agent AFK setups vs HITL as we have been. I touched on this in my introduction to t
Claude Code vs. Legacy .NET: I Picked the Helper, Not the Hero Last Tuesday, I was staring down a System.InvalidOperationException: 'Sequence contains no elements.' at MyLegacyProject.DataService.GetActiveUsersAsync() stack trace. It wasn't the AI's fault directly, but it was generated from a prompt

Much of the conversation around AI coding is still centered on how fast machines can produce code. But code volume The post How the AC/DC framework helps teams govern AI coding agents appeared first on The New Stack.
Hey all, Our Scrum Master, made a small free/open-source tool for Azure DevOps because sprint setup and work item admin kept taking more time than it should. It’s mainly for things like sprint templates, easier work item linking, spotting missing estimates/stale items, and getting a better overview
