Disclosure: I’m Esteve Castells, the maker of DomScan. Domain intelligence often enters an application as a simple question. Is this domain available? Does this DNS record exist? Is an email security control configured? Did a public identity signal appear on the website? The easiest response model is a boolean.

Your slowest query is rarely your most expensive one. A 4-second report that runs twice a day costs your database 8 seconds. A 3-millisecond lookup that runs 40,000 times a minute costs it two minutes of CPU every sixty seconds. Only one of those shows up in a slow

Financial markets in the modern day have never been more accessible. While the sector has seen significant developments in terms of speed and easy access, linguistic barriers remain surprisingly persistent. Lack of smartphone access or an internet connection is no longer a problem globally. Localization has been a challenge simply

The iceberg beneath your code Every software team, no matter how skilled or disciplined, accumulates technical debt. In mature enterprise codebases, this debt is less like a pile of overdue tasks and more like an iceberg — a small portion is visible above the waterline, but the bulk lurks beneath the

So we left with an answer to a question but many more questions to answer, which is good for curious people. If 3.5 tok/sec is not the wall, what is? Are you telling me that on 8GB of VRAM and 24GB of RAM, with disk streaming, you can

Convex developers can now add a durable iMessage inbox and outbox to an agent backend with @spectrum-ts/convex, the new Convex component for Photon Spectrum. The component receives Photon webhooks, writes each verified delivery to Convex before returning an HTTP 200, and hands everything after that to Convex's

It's a widely held idea that learning is linked to memory. Reflecting on the years before LLMs, I have to confess: I didn't really remember a thing. When I started out as a coder, memory was everything. Memory, repetition, and a rapid feedback cycle. This is

There is an old joke that every developer knows in their bones. A non-technical person asks for a small change, “can you just add a button that emails the report,” and six days later you are still untangling why the report generation blocks the request thread under load. Nothing is

IEC 61850 is another one of those protocols that becomes more interesting the deeper you go. At first glance, it looks like another industrial protocol to dissect: identify the transport, decode the messages, enumerate the data model, and look for places where authentication or authorization is missing, but that description
