3 words worth a billion dollars: Drift to Determinism (DriDe)

Drift to Determinism (DriDe - as in "DRY'd" - Don't Repeat Yourself) is what everyone will be doing in 2 years, and I am telling you to start today. And if you want the one liner explanation: I am proposing

The Real Skill in Programming Is Debugging. Everything Else Is Copy-Paste

6 days ago

I have a feeling this statement is even more true in the age of AI and coding agents. Sure, today we often write prompts instead of code. But if we’re honest, isn’t that just an extremely fast version of copy-paste? When people imagine programmers, the picture is usually quite dramatic. In the most

How I Prepare for Software Engineering Interviews in 6 Days (Without Burning Out)

6 days ago

I’ve failed interviews I was technically qualified for. A few years ago, when I had an interview coming up, I didn’t look for shortcuts. I went back to the basics. Not because it sounded noble.

How My "Illegal" Visit to Tech Show London Turned Into a Summer Internship Win

I officially became a "Tech Outlaw" today. 😂 Don't worry I didn't do anything malicious. I just happened to be in the right place at the "wrong" time. This year, I made a personal vow to stop being such an introvert. I decided to move past the workstation in my room and actually see the opportuniti

I Deleted Half My Codebase and Nobody Noticed

Last quarter, I deleted 48% of our backend code. No new bugs. And no one noticed. That was the moment I realized something uncomfortable: Most code exists to make developers feel safe, not to make products better. We had a “mature” codebase: Service layers Repository patterns DTO transformers Event

What should I do and learn in 2026?

I blinked and it's March. That's not entirely true, January was 100 years long, then February showed up, and at least here in Central Texas, that meant it was harshly cold for like 48 hours and now it's summer. "That's false Spring!" No... we don't have Spring here. Anyway, it's March and you might

DevStretch: The Antiburnout Protocol for Devs Who Forgot They Have Bodies

The Community Let’s be honest: most of us treat our physical bodies like a deprecated legacy dependency. It’s still running, it’s technically functional, but it hasn't had an update in years, and we’ve been ignoring the STIFF_NECK_WARNING in the logs for six hours. I built this for the community o
