Why High Load Does Not Always Mean High CPU One of the first things I check when someone says "the Linux server is slow" is the load average. And one of the most common mistakes is to immediately translate high load into high CPU usage. These two things are related, but they are not the same. I
Hello DEV community! 👋 I recently launched TechQuiz, a mobile app designed to help software engineers, computer science students, and tech enthusiasts practice for coding interviews and technical aptitude tests. You can check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss333.Tec
Hey everyone, Traveling to the UAE (Dubai & Abu Dhabi) soon and trying to verify real-world Tailscale behavior when routing through a personal exit node back home. From what I understand, UAE telecom providers (e& and du) actively block or throttle unassigned UDP and fingerprint WireGuard h
Why HTTP-level monitoring is insufficient once an LLM request passes through policy, sanitization, routing, and audit layers. Disclosure: I work on LLMInspect, a GenAI gateway built by EUNOMATIX. This post is about the general design problem rather than the product, and the scenario and implementa
I asked a coding assistant to draft an Nginx config for a small Laravel app on an Ubuntu VPS. It produced something usable in seconds. That is the useful part. The dangerous part is that a config can look completely reasonable, pass a quick visual scan, and still be wrong for the actual server. T
The dangerous version of an AI agent is not the one that gives a bad answer. It is the one that confidently calls a tool, updates the wrong record, sends the wrong email, retries itself into a loop, and leaves no recoverable trail. A prototype agent can be impressive and still be unsafe. A product
Why Idempotency Matters When building APIs, network failures are inevitable. A client sends a request, the server processes it, but the response is lost. The client retries, and suddenly you have duplicate orders, double charges, or duplicated database records. Idempotency solves this by ensuring
Every backend engineer has had this conversation at least once: retention gets cut from 90 days to 30, or verbosity gets dialed down in production, because the storage bill for logs quietly became a line item someone in finance started asking about. It usually gets framed as a tooling problem — "we
Terrain — prepares the ground so agents don't have to guess where to stand. 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/sopaco/terrain The Real Problem in CI/CD Pipelines Teams often face these issues in CI pipelines: Regenerate documents on every merge—but only a few files actually changed Kno
I wanted to share a weekend project that turned into an exercise in extreme zero-budget bootstrapping. I built SDOWNLOADER—a clean, fast multi-platform video downloader supporting 9 major social networks. Most online video downloaders are notoriously horrible to use: they bombard you with aggressive
A repository gaining 7,710 stars in a month deserves a performance-minded look, not just a screenshot of the README. OpenViking positions itself as a context database for AI agents: one layer for memory, knowledge retrieval, and reusable skills. The interesting part is not the label. It is the attem
