PostgreSQL doesn’t "ignore" your indexes, it just does the math differently. We dive into how the planner weighs cost, why it sometimes chooses sequential scans, and how we tuned our queries to make peace with it.

We built a "self-healing" system that fixes deprecated configs by opening PRs automatically. It worked like magic, until it didn't. Here's what we learned about the thin line between elegant automation and uncontrollable complexity.

TypeScript doesn’t run your code, but your bundler might think it does. Learn why marking your type imports with import type (and enabling `verbatimModuleSyntax`) makes your builds faster, cleaner, and more predictable.

AI can explain what code does — but not why it does it. This post explores how documentation is evolving in the age of AI, and why writing down human intent is becoming one of the most practical forms of AI alignment.

Most systems drown in meaningless WARNING logs. They waste money, obscure real errors, and help no one. Here’s why your next logging cleanup should start by deleting WARNING — and how structured logs make your production systems clearer, cheaper, and safer.

Code reviews often fail not because the code is wrong, but because no one knows why it was written that way. This post explores how AI-generated comments can add missing intent to pull requests—making both human and AI reviews smarter, faster, and more effective.

Floating versions like :latest, ^, and ~ promise convenience but deliver broken builds, hidden regressions, and supply chain risks. Here we explain why they undermine reproducibility and security and shows how to pin GitHub Actions, Docker images, and dependencies safely.

Permissions drift is real: scattered checks, forgotten filters, and data leaks. PostgreSQL’s Row Level Security (RLS) flips the script: pushing verification into the database for stronger safety, but with trade-offs in debugging and performance.

From Bors and Homu to Bulldozer, Kodiak, Mergify, and now GitHub and GitLab, merge queues have shaped how we keep main branches green. This article traces their history, why they emerged, and how they became a standard in modern software development.
