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.

We’re diving into a PHP framework that’s part Swiss Army knife, part magician, and part diva (but the lovable kind that insists on elegance). Laravel is the Beyoncé … 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
