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
If you’ve ever wished you could build your own AI sidekick — one that knows your love for dad jokes, your obsession with 80s synth music, and maybe even your weird thing for capybaras — Meta AI Studio is here to grant your oddly specific wish. Meta AI Studio (https://aistudio.instagram.com/) is Meta’s platform that lets you create, train, and … Read more
Imagine your app is a nightclub. The dance floor is where the action happens — your core business logic, busting moves like no one’s watching. Around it? Ports and adapters: the velvet ropes, bouncers, guest lists, and awkwardly enthusiastic DJs that control who gets in and how they’re allowed to groove. Welcome to Hexagonal Architecture, also known … Read more
Imagine your software is a cocktail party. Instead of everyone talking over each other (a.k.a. a monolithic architecture), or politely scheduling appointments (a.k.a. REST APIs), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is when apps casually eavesdrop and react to what’s happening around them. No interruptions, no awkward handshakes — just smooth, reactive elegance. What is it? Event-Driven Architecture is a … Read more
Imagine a world where you never have to babysit a server. No patches. No midnight restarts. No “Why is this instance on fire again?” emails. Just sweet, blissful code execution that pops into existence, does its job, and disappears like a ninja with a successful exit code. Welcome to the wild, ethereal world of Serverless … Read more
Once upon a time, in a land dominated by Monolithic castles (read: single hulking codebases), developers dreamed of a brighter, less-coupled future. A future where services could live free, deploy fast, and fail without dragging down the whole kingdom. Enter Microservices Architecture — equal parts liberation, frustration, and DevOps cardio. So what is Microservices Architecture? Imagine if … Read more
Let’s talk about monolithic architecture — not the alien rock from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but its equally stubborn cousin in software design. You’ve heard the name. Maybe you’ve even cursed it under your breath while debugging a spaghetti bowl of code from 2008. But what is it really, and why does it still haunt our tech … Read more
There comes a time in every website owner’s life when they must confront their destiny: fixing the WordPress contact form. It starts innocently enough. A visitor says, “Hey, I tried to message you through your site, but it didn’t work.” You shrug, thinking it was user error. But then someone else says the same thing. … Read more
Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not here to trash heavyweights like VirtualBox or VMware. They’re great, they’re powerful, and they’ve saved lives — probably. But sometimes, you just want to spin up a clean little Ubuntu box without summoning the ghost of sysadmins past. That’s where Multipass comes in. It’s like the IKEA flat-pack of VMs: … Read more
We’ve all been there: minding our own business when suddenly a wild update notification appears like a needy raccoon at your digital doorstep. It wants attention, food (aka disk space), and possibly a reboot that will last just long enough to make you late for a Zoom call. But fear not — this isn’t a rant about … Read more
