Take a powdered wig. Add a snuffbox, a harpsichord, and a brain filled with dangerously new ideas. Welcome to the 1700s, where “Enlightenment” wasn’t just a vibe — it was a full-blown intellectual uprising. Think less astrology, more astronomy. Less divine right, more human rights. The 18th century gave us some of the most impactful creators of … Read more
It’s Friday night, and somewhere between the dancing unicorns of development dreams and the bug-riddled trenches of reality, developers are whispering sweet nothings to their APIs. And guess what? Swagger is usually the wingman. What is Swagger? Swagger is like that overly confident friend who shows up to the party with a karaoke mic and a … Read more
Welcome to the 1600s, the century where artists decided that if a painting didn’t have divine light, flying drapery, or a bit of theatrical flair, it simply wasn’t trying hard enough.

Let’s rewind to the 1500s — a century where creativity didn’t just flourish, it shouted across Europe thanks to the most revolutionary gossip-spreader of all time: the printing press. This was the era of tectonic cultural shifts, booming pamphlet wars, and creative minds that could challenge popes, redraw the map of knowledge, and change how we think … Read more
Sure, you’ve met the Ninja Turtles — Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael. We did a proper group hug with those four in Episode 2. But Florence didn’t just birth a boy band of creative geniuses and call it a century. The 1400s were stacked with talent. Let’s give some overdue credit to the brilliant minds who didn’t get … Read more
Ah, the Renaissance. The age when Europe collectively woke up from its medieval nap, stretched, looked around, and said, “You know what we need? Art. Science. Giant domes. And a whole lot of naked statues.” The Renaissance (roughly the 14th to the 17th century) wasn’t just a rebirth — it was an explosion of human creativity, with … Read more
If Python and C++ had a baby and fed it spinach, you’d get Mojo. It’s a brand-new programming language from Modular, designed to be as friendly as Python and as fast as C++ — two things that historically don’t hang out at the same parties. So what exactly is Mojo, and should you care? Grab your debugger … Read more

Buckle up as we zip through history on a chariot of creativity, innovation, and the occasional scandal. 6th Century BCE — Pythagoras 4th Century BCE — Aristotle 1st Century CE — Hero of Alexandria 15th … Read more
Once upon a deployment, in a land far, far away (a production server running PHP 5.3 and still somehow alive), there lived a codebase. Not just any codebase, but a sprawling, tangled mass of if-statements, helper functions, and global variables that had long forgotten their purpose. Welcome to Spaghetti Architecture — a culinary horror story masquerading as … Read more
Let’s face it — routing may not sound like the hottest topic at your next tech party, but it’s the unsung hero behind every click, every view, and every delightful 404 page. And today, we’re throwing two heavyweight contenders into the ring: Client-Side Routing (CSR) vs. Server-Side Composition (SSC). Ding ding! What Are We Talking About Here? Both … Read more
