I've debugged Flux architectures until my eyes bled. Then I started working with Blazor and thought: "Great, now I get to do this all over again in C#." Here's a pattern you've probably seen a thousand times: Three files. Three concepts. One simple operation: add 1 to a number. I kept asking myself: why do we need all this ceremony? React figured it out with Zustand and Jotai. Why is .NET still stuck in 2015? That's it. That's the whole thing. Your state is a C# record. Your "actions" are just methods that return new state. No dispatchers. No reducers. No action types. Just pure functions on immutable data. And in your component: The base…...

I met a few founders there and asked each of them to describe the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey. If you've ever daydreamed about starting something on your own but didn't know where to begin, you'll see that even successful founders once stood exactly where you are. In this article, you won't find polished success stories. This is where you'll get to know how the leap from employee to founder truly feels like. I don't dare to take more of your time, so the first question is" What did the transition period look like for you? Anton Avrynskyi, CEO & co-founder of Liki24 (former Deputy Chief Executive Officer, IT-Enterprise): The first thing you need when moving from employee to business owner is a financial cushion....

Oddly, others saw no issue at all. What followed was a three-hour debugging marathon that took us through Cloudflare cache rabbit holes, pod benchmarking, and finally, an AWS ALB subnet misconfiguration. What makes this story worth telling is not just the root cause (a bad ALB IP), but the full forensic process " every command, every false lead, and the eventual breakthrough. This is an engineering playbook, shared so you don't waste the same hours the next time you face an intermittent latency mystery. This post walks the entire forensic process: the commands we ran (copy/paste-ready, with safe placeholders), the exact timings and outputs we observed (sensitive values redacted), the conclusions at each step, the mistakes and…...

Behind this powerful service lies a virtualization technology called Firecracker. Which Service Using Firecracker? AWS Fargate tasks are also executed using Firecracker microVMs. Bedrock AgentCore Runtime AgentCore Runtime is the execution environment for agents within the Bedrock AgentCore ecosystem, where developers can deploy agent code, LLMs, etc., without having to worry about infrastructure management or scaling. A fully isolated execution environment: Each user session (8 hours) in AgentCore Runtime has its own dedicated microVM with isolated compute resources, memory, and its own filesystem, preventing any agent from accessing another user's data. After a session ends, the entire microVM is destroyed and all session data is deleted. During the session, a user may have multiple interactions " multiple tool calls, multiple LLM invocations. (If…...

Good software has something like it. Some systems hold together when you change them; others leak at the slightest touch. The difference lies in integrity " the way a system manages its side effects without losing its shape. I've seen codebases that felt strangely calm, where every possible state meant something real and nothing arbitrary could slip in. Others allowed nonsense to exist, and from there, entropy spread quietly like cracks beneath paint. Type systems, invariants, and boundaries exist to make meaning explicit. They define where things start and stop " what's allowed, and what isn't. Without that structure, logic turns soft; assumptions spread, and the system eventually folds under its own ambiguity. Systems stay whole when their structure insists…...

I set out to build a high-performance 2D canvas inside a Tauri app using React, PIXI.js, and pixi-viewport " just a grid, zoom, pan, and GPU-accelerated drawing. Estimated time: 23 hours. Actual time: a little longer" " Here's what I learned, step by step. Want the longer, meme-filled version? The original LinkedIn article dives deeper with stories, humor, and some chaotic developer moments: "THIS Is Not My Child" LinkedIn version Over the years, I've explored a ton of 2D frameworks: Canvas2D, ZimJS, Fabric.js, Konva.js, even Three.js. For this project, PIXI.js won: I paired it with React 19, pixi-viewport for zoom/pan, and wrapped it in Tauri + Vite for a desktop app. Easy setup, right? "Spoiler: not quite. React immediately rejected it: "This is…...

1+ hour, 16+ min ago (756+ words) Here's how I explain it when a teammate asks which one to try first. Google's antigravity feels like a teammate who loves to own the whole task and report back with proof. Antigravity is powered by Google's latest Gemini model, which explains its planning and multi-agent strengths, see how Gemini works here: Gemini AI Tool. In contrast, claude code leans into a classic "chat-with-your-code" flow that prioritizes fast, careful code suggestions and clear explanations. I've seen social demos where Antigravity nails an app's look and flow on the first pass. Fun to watch, but keep in mind that prompts, repo setup, and environment quirks matter. In quick comparisons, one user found Antigravity's design closer to the project's intent than a competing editor; that could be stronger repo grounding, broader tool access, or a lucky prompt. Meanwhile, claude code keeps winning…...

1+ hour, 18+ min ago (545+ words) We were promised a revolution. A suite of AI tools that would grant us 10x leverage, compress timelines, and unleash an unprecedented wave of creation. The tools arrived, yet the revolution feels" muted. Many find themselves busier than ever, caught in a frantic loop of prompt engineering, content generation, and tool-hopping. They are producing more noise, not more signal. Because we are attempting to bolt a jet engine onto a horse-drawn carriage. We are applying 21st-century tools to 20th-century workflows and wondering why the system breaks. The failure isn't in the technology; it's in the human process. Our old model of work is sequential and monolithic. We ideate, then we draft, then we edit, then we ship. Each step is a heavy, cognitive lift performed by a single mind. Introducing AI into this legacy system creates friction, not flow. It results…...
