Codeforces Round 1048 on Monday was the first competition of this week (problems, results, top 5 on the left, analysis). The round was unrated, which has delayed my inevitable downfall: I solved A+B(in the same wrong way as the problemsetters)+C1+C2 in 32 minutes, but could not solve anything else i...

In big organizations, reds obey bosses while blacks serve customers—and blacks survive only by keeping their distance.

A few of the ideas, topics, and commonplaces that have been gaining steam on <a...

Happy National Video Games Day! We’re hearing from Veronica, Scott, Tyler, and Anni about which games would go in their hypothetical video games museum. Nothing better than honoring a beloved game by putting it behind a glass case!

In this chapter, we’ll write our own web server: It will serve files and manage the data for a browser app.

At Deliveroo, we’re always refining how we scale - especially when it comes to managing compute costs in the cloud. After optimising our Amazon ECS workloads with Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, we saw an opportunity to push further using EC2 Spot Instances, which offer up to 90% savings compa...

An honest, practical look at "vibe coding": building software with AI assistants like Cursor and Claude Code. You'll learn what works, what doesn’t, and how MCP servers unlock production-ready workflows. Ideal for teams exploring AI pair programming with a focus on speed, safety, and engineering jud...

I’ve been messing around with pre-allocating files on the file system on macOS. This is useful in cases where you...

Remember the awe of wondering how someone accomplished a thing?AweI watched movie special effects progress through the 1990s. Production teams used computer graphics to create effects. The technology was primitive at first. Still neat. Then there were moments that were incredible. "Did they really b...

You can mock database calls all day long, but when your code hits production, the real database doesn’t lie. Unique constraints fail, transactions don’t roll back as they should, and subtle behaviors that mocks can’t reproduce, causing bad code to go into production. Running integration tests agains...
