Frontend and backend web development from someone who's been writing PHP since the early 2000s. Frameworks, performance, security, and the decisions that matter at scale.

TypeScript 6.0 dropped today. It's the last version of TypeScript written in TypeScript. Strict mode is on by default, ES5 is gone, outFile is dead, and TypeScript 7.0 — rewritten in Go — is right behind it. Here's everything that changed and what you actually need to do.

Amazon fired 1,800+ engineers while forcing staff onto its Kiro AI tool. Here's why that's a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen — and what it means for every developer.

A production deep dive into Bun v1.3.11 — covering Bun.cron for OS-level scheduling, Bun.sliceAnsi for terminal-aware string slicing, enriched Markdown rendering callbacks, path-ignore patterns for test discovery, and the dgram UDP fixes that unblocked real-world libraries on macOS.

I exclusively used WordPress somewhere between 2008 to 2019 – if not earlier than that for me. At least eleven years. That's a good long time to dedicate to a platform. And honestly? For most of that time, I thought WordPress was fine. I was managing my blog, publishing

Tutorials that show you how to build an API in 50 lines of code are lying to you. This is what a production TypeScript API actually looks like — authentication, validation, error handling, rate limiting, database connection pooling, structured logging, and a test suite. All of it, from scratch.
Web Development
An API is a contract between two pieces of software. One side defines what requests it accepts and what responses it sends. The other side follows that contract to get work done. Every app on your phone, every website pulling live data, and every service talking to another service uses APIs.

MySQL runs WordPress, which runs 43% of the web. It runs Facebook's original backend, YouTube, and GitHub. It is also a database with genuine quirks that bite people who do not know about them. Here is the full picture.
Software Development
A database is organized data with a system for storing, retrieving, and modifying it reliably. Every application you have ever used depends on one. Here is how they actually work, what the different types do, and what separates a well-designed schema from one that will wreck you at scale.

WebAssembly started as a way to run C++ in a browser without recompiling to JavaScript. Figma, Google Earth, AutoCAD, and video codecs run in WASM. The server-side ecosystem is growing fast enough that cloud providers are building WASM runtimes into their infrastructure. Here is how it works.

Flask started as an April Fools joke and became one of the most widely deployed Python web frameworks in production. Here is how it works, what makes it different from Django, and what a real production Flask API looks like.
