Notes from the workshop
Practical writing on engineering, performance, applied AI, and product — the lessons we've learned shipping real software.
Why we build static-first with Next.js
Static-first rendering is the single highest-leverage decision for a fast website. Here is how we think about it — and when we reach for dynamic instead.
Designing MCP servers that are actually safe
Model Context Protocol servers let AI assistants act on your systems. That power needs boundaries. Here is the design checklist we use.
A practical guide to AI integration that ships
AI features fail when they are bolted on as demos. They succeed when they solve a specific user problem with guardrails. Here is our approach.
How we hit near-perfect Lighthouse scores
A perfect performance score is not luck. It is a set of deliberate choices made early and defended throughout the build.
Spring Boot architecture for systems that last
Enterprise software is judged in years, not weeks. Here is how we structure Spring Boot services to age gracefully.
From MVP to scale without a rewrite
Move fast early without painting yourself into a corner. The trick is knowing which decisions are cheap to change and which are not.
