Commit counts measure activity. They do not measure whether any of it is still there. I found this out while trying to describe my share of two private codebases in a way a stranger could check. Commits were the obvious number and the wrong one. On the frontend my share of surviving lines was highe
Today I'm launching Docgrity — a tool for finding where your documentation disagrees with itself, before it confuses you or the next AI agent working on your codebase. TL;DR Docgrity is a documentation integrity tool for repos and Confluence. It finds duplicate or contradictory documentation, surf
Most sports games ask you to win a league. 38-0-0 asks you to win every match of a Serie A season — 38 out of 38, where a single draw ends the run. That constraint sounds like a difficulty slider set to maximum. It is not. It is a different kind of game, and the reason is arithmetic that anyone can
Code: Megapixel99/lambda-language lm is a small low-level language I wrote: static types, explicit memory, no closures, no garbage collector, and four independent backends that emit C, WebAssembly, ARM64 and bytecode for a VM. Its compiler is about 4,400 lines of JavaScript. The obvious next quest
Why Traditional Clean Architecture Stalls in Real-Time Cloud Apps Most enterprise Flutter tutorials preach Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture or classic BLoC layering. They show neat diagrams with concentric circles: Presentation, Use Cases / Interactors, Repositories, and Data Sources. Yet nearly ev
Designing a tattoo is not only about finding a beautiful reference image. The harder part is turning that reference into something a tattoo artist can actually work with: clear linework, a readable silhouette, and a composition that can be tested before it reaches the skin. That is the problem I am
I've been doing front-end development for somewhere around 20 years now. During that time, I've watched the job change over and over again. New frameworks. New languages. New tooling. New ways of building and deploying software. But I don't think I've ever had to adapt as quickly as I have over the
In the lifecycle of a mobile application, the most expensive milliseconds are the ones that occur between the user tapping the icon and the first meaningful interaction. In my eight years of professional software engineering, I have seen these milliseconds treated as a secondary performance metric—a
toolkitsapp.com Formatters (JSON, SQL, CSS, HTML, YAML), converters (CSV to JSON, number bases, timestamps, units, timezones), generators (QR, UUID, passwords, cron expressions, favicons, meta tags), image tools (compress, resize, format convert, SVG to PNG), a JWT decoder, a regex tester, a handful
Hello DEV community! 👋 For my first post, I want to share why I started building Coordiation CSS, an independent utility first CSS compiler focused on static output, owned source, and machine readable contracts. Coordiation is currently at version 1.0.0-rc.1. This is a release candidate, not a cla
So far in this series, the agent generated the whole solution in a single call: you gave it the spec and the tests, and the model returned the entire function. That works when the whole task fits in a prompt. But in a real repository you don't know in advance which files you'll need, and you can't f
“Runs in your browser” is easy to put on a landing page. It is harder to make it a property of the whole OCR pipeline. An OCR page can have a static interface and still send the selected file to an API. It can keep the image local but put the extracted text into error reporting. It can avoid both a
