Prime Day is next week – it will run from June 23 to the 26th. However, Amazon Germany has already started offering early Prime Day deals. You need a subscription for these, but the free trial will work just fine. There is a mix of old and new models below, though, usually, the newer model makes mor
If you've ever needed a quick JSON formatter, regex tester, or password generator and didn't want to install anything or sign up for yet another account — I built something for that. UniversalTools.org is a free collection of 59+ browser-based tools for developers and everyday users. No signup, no p
This is a builder's log, not a launch. I'm in the middle of a problem and I want to think out loud about it, because the people who replied to my last post moved my thinking more than a month of solo work did. The moment it clicked Last week Copilot told me a match scheduled for June 12 was still go
Someone sends you a CSV. Then a folder of CSVs. Then a CSV that's actually tab-separated but named .csv, with a stray header row and a column that's a number on most rows and the string N/A on the rest. For years my answer to "can you pull a quick number out of this?" was a throwaway Python script.

Building Velodrome: A Real-Time Multiplayer Typing Race Game I built a full-stack typing game with live multiplayer, ghost racer replays, and per-key analytics. This post covers how I solved the hard parts. Live demo | GitHub Typing games like TypeRacer are fun, but I wanted to add something differe
I've worked on projects where getting the right data was the bottleneck. You can't build features without data, and sometimes the data just doesn't exist or is locked behind paid APIs. Satellite tracking is different — the orbital data is publicly available. That shouldn't be a story, but it is. Mos
On May 18 we launched Vigilmon — an uptime and website monitoring service for developers and indie makers who want to know when their sites go down before their users do. Since then, we've been heads-down building in public. Here's every feature we shipped in the first 30 days. 1. Response time trac

I've wasted days of my life maintaining CSS selectors. You know the drill - you write the perfect scraper, it works great for a week, then the site does a frontend redesign, your selectors break, and you spend another afternoon hunting through the DOM again. So I built Opticparse - a completely diff
Most investors think they need more tools to make better decisions. The truth is different. If you're: screening stocks across multiple sources, checking sector performance on a separate site, or tracking ideas in a spreadsheet that's always out of date, you don't have a tools problem. You have a fr
Why race‑condition crashes only appear under specific timing, vanish under debugging, and produce different stack traces on every run. Race‑condition crashes are the first pattern in the series where the failure is not deterministic. The code is correct, the memory is valid, the backtrace may look r
From its opening minutes, Moves of the Diamond Hand is upfront about what it offers: You're going to have a lot of strange conversations, and you're going to roll a lot of dice. Get on board with this proposition, and the reward is one of the most creative roleplaying games I've seen in years, even
Who knew that Microsoft would one day run software you didn't have to pay for
Five surfaces collapsed into one declarative layer. Here's the full story of Materialized Lake Views in Microsoft Fabric - from syntax to the new GA capabilities The post Materialized Lake Views in Microsoft Fabric: When Your Medallion Fits in a SELECT Statement appeared first on Towards Data Scienc
The Oura Ring 4 is ideal for anyone who wants lab accurate sleep tracking. But you'll need to be quick as this $100 saving won't hang around for long...
This is one setting I always change on all my PC builds.
The AI Coach may not be the best, but it's certainly the easiest to use
Container platforms often promise portability. "Run anywhere." "Switch backends anytime." "Avoid vendor lock-in." While these goals are attractive, the engineering challenges become obvious once you attempt to support multiple execution backends under a single platform. At Gravoxlab, we're examining
Multi-Agent AI Systems: A Practical Guide to Orchestrating LLMs for Complex Workflows Single LLM calls are so 2024. In 2026, the frontier isn't bigger models — it's multiple specialized agents working together to solve problems no single model can handle alone. If you've ever asked GPT to plan a tri
