When building software, the quality of your architecture and planning often dictates the success of your project. However, planning and documenting can quickly become tedious or overlooked tasks. Integrating AI into your workflow, specifically during the planning and implementation stages, can greatly streamline this process and ensure clarity and consistency.

Peter Naur’s seminal 1985 essay, Programming as Theory Building, posits that programming transcends mere code creation; it’s fundamentally about constructing a “theory”—a deep, often tacit understanding of a system that resides in the minds of its developers. This perspective challenges the notion that code alone encapsulates a

Ensuring the performance and scalability of your database infrastructure is paramount, especially when dealing with read-heavy workloads. The GitHub repository TechPreacher/azure_loadtest_terraform provides a comprehensive solution to automate the deployment and load testing of an Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server configured with a read-only replica.

With the increasing adoption of large language models (LLMs) in software development, running these models locally has become essential for developers seeking better performance, privacy, and cost control. Two popular solutions have emerged in this space: Ollama, an established framework for local LLM management, and Docker Model Runner, a recent

I recently came along the requirement to test the performance of the database replication of PostgreSQL running on Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server under load. Quote from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/flexible-server/concepts-read-replicas Read replicas are primarily designed for scenarios where offloading queries is beneficial, and

In the digital era, the concept of a “digital garden” has emerged as a dynamic and flexible approach to personal knowledge management and content sharing. Unlike traditional blogs, which often present finalized ideas in a linear format, digital gardens allow individuals to cultivate and showcase evolving thoughts, notes, and research

The OpenAI Agents SDK now incorporates support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-standard protocol designed to facilitate efficient integration between external tools, data resources, and Large Language Models (LLMs). Through MCP, developers can significantly expand agent functionality, enabling richer, more context-sensitive interactions within AI-driven applications. Conceptual Overview of

Microsoft is initiating a comprehensive global program characterized by an intensive 24-hour launch event, succeeded by a sustained 50-day phase dedicated to advanced artificial intelligence (AI) education and skill development. The initiative, entitled Skills Fest, is scheduled from April 8 through May 28, and is designed to facilitate the acquisition

On March 19, 2025, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a critical vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-30066, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. This vulnerability stems from a supply chain compromise affecting the GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files, posing significant risks to organizations utilizing this action in

Conceptualizing Vibe Coding Vibe coding represents a contemporary paradigm within software engineering, characterized by an enhanced emphasis on achieving optimal psychological engagement, commonly referred to in psychology literature as "flow." Originating from cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction research, this methodology foregrounds real-time responsiveness, immediate iterative feedback mechanisms, and

Implementing and Refining RAG with rlama Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) augments Large Language Models (LLMs) by incorporating document segments that substantiate responses with relevant data. The rlama framework facilitates a completely local, self-contained RAG solution, thus eliminating dependency on external cloud services while ensuring confidentiality of the underlying data. Although rlama

Anthropic’s latest announcements have ushered in a new era for AI-powered development. Today, we’re excited to share the launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet—the first hybrid reasoning model on the market—and Claude Code, a cutting-edge agentic coding tool now available as a limited research preview. Together,

Microsoft has just unveiled Majorana 1—the world’s first quantum chip powered by a groundbreaking Topological Core architecture. This innovation isn’t just an incremental improvement; it marks a paradigm shift in the way quantum systems can be designed, scaled, and ultimately applied to real-world challenges. Below, we dive
