I've been optimizing WordPress sites for a while (mostly WooCommerce and Elementor builds) and wanted to share a few things that consistently moved the needle on load times, in case it helps someone else: Lazy-loading offscreen images plus converting to WebP cut LCP noticeably on image-heavy pages.
I prepared a small Laravel playground with a shipping price bug and a deliberately long commit history to demonstrate automated regression hunting with Pest and git bisect. The endpoint should charge €5.90 for a domestic parcel weighing up to and including one kilogram. At exactly 1000 grams, it ret
You open the repository. Nobody who wrote it still works here. There are no tests. The one README file describes a feature that got deleted two years ago. And something is broken in production. Welcome to the job. Debugging code somebody else wrote is one of the least talked-about skills in softwa
Getting an AI to place a phone call takes an evening. The trouble starts after that. It said "your table is booked" when the restaurant had said no such thing. It talked to a voicemail greeting for two minutes, politely asking for a reservation. It accepted a price above the budget because the con
I haven't seen too many comprehensive approaches to this topic, so I took a swing at it. Goal isn't to be exhaustive, but to be thorough enough to help people trying to get their bearings on the topic. It covers the core differences and trade-offs of different cache flavors: In your application lay
Sorry if this is not the correct subreddit for my question. I'll happily delete it if it is. My friend speaks a dying language and they already have about 700 words listed with meanings and sample sentences. We were discussing how cool it would be to make an online dictionary on this, so we tested o
came back to a backend service i wrote 18 months ago and i genuinely cannot tell what i was thinking. the logic is technically there but the variable names are confusing, there are like 3 comments total, and there's a function called process_data that does 5 completely different things. at what poin
Disclosure: YunCMS is developed and maintained by Yunsoft Software. This guide covers our own open-source project. It was verified against yunsoftofficial/yuncms:0.1.22 on September 12, 2026. The YunCMS 0.1.x line is pre-stable, so interfaces and behavior may change between releases. You may not w
I spent a week reviewing LLM apps for a client and found a pattern that surprised me. Every loud failure - a refused prompt, an exception, a blocked tool call - was handled fine. The app had guardrails. The failure that almost caused a real incident was the one that raised no error at all: the model
Earlier this week, Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs, and independent security researchers detailed some alarming findings about how LG's TVs are logging and uploading data on its users. Now the company is pushing back against those allegations, saying that "Some recent media coverage may have contributed t
Built a web app that will turn your chess game into an epic dark fantasy battle, each piece has a name There is a wound system so if for example a pawn takes a knight the knight gets taken but the pawn doesn’t survive unscathed. First time really building anything like this and putting it out to the
I used to write software. Now I work in mass agent transit. Ten AI agents on the bus today. The plan is a fleet of ten thousand. That sounds like a joke and it is about half of one. Here is the half that is not. I am still responsible for getting from A to B. A feature goes from an idea to a URL w
I built a domain expiry monitor, and to test it against something other than my own domains I pointed it at the "our work" pages of 30 US web design agencies — the client sites they link to publicly — and checked every domain against its registry. The results were mildly alarming, but the interesti
I run an autonomous agent that makes security decisions from untrusted input. Before I trusted it, I red-teamed it the way an attacker would. The result: 27/100 MEDIUM, 1 of 8 probes flagged - a soft failure where the model leaked part of its system prompt when asked politely in a different language
Hey developers 👋 At some point in our development journey, we’ve all played around with domains, subdomains, routes, reverse proxies, and enough DNS records to make us question our life choices. But here’s an interesting problem: What if you want a completely different website to appear at a spec
A few weeks ago I shipped the 1,000th production deployment of an application I built almost entirely through conversation with an AI. Not "AI helped me write some functions." I mean I didn't open the codebase. Every migration, every deploy, every rollback happened through a chat window talking to C
Last week someone asked me why their React app showed an empty card when shared on LinkedIn, even though their tags were right there in the code. The reason is simple: social scrapers don’t execute client-side JavaScript. Twitterbot, LinkedInBot, and Slackbot aren't full browsers. They run a quick
A budget alert tells a person that a limit is close. A hard spend cap changes what the workload is allowed to do. In a fintech leaked-key drill, that difference decides whether the incident ends in a bounded denial or an invoice you explain later. Short answer: use a hard cap as the enforcement bou
Every AI tool I used worked the same way. I'd open a tab, explain who the client was and what we'd agreed, paste in the email, get some text back, and then go do the actual work myself. The model was smart. The setup around it left all the carrying to me. So I built Moe, an assistant that runs on yo
Do your charts ever look right but quietly use the wrong numbers? I built Honest Chart, a free CSV→chart page that shows a SHA-256 fingerprint for the uploaded file alongside the chart. The idea is simple: if you’re making a slide or sharing a quick visualization, you can verify the source file has
