​ Deploying a NestJS backend to production with true zero downtime is more involved than most guides suggest. This is a complete, battle-tested walkthrough — built from real production experience — covering everything from Droplet setup to automated GitLab pipelines…

​ Debugging production issues often feels like a race against the clock, especially when it’s 2 AM and a critical system is down. In these moments, the clarity of your codebase becomes paramount. This is particularly true for the data…

​ As a developer building AI for scientific discovery, I wanted to test if autonomous research actually works. So I built Luka and pointed it at Goldbach’s conjecture. The Background Goldbach’s conjecture: every even integer > 2 is the sum…

​ I’m a developer, not a number theorist. But I built Luka — an autonomous AI research engine — and pointed it at one of math’s oldest open problems. What it found blew my mind. How It Started I’m a…

​ Scarab Systems has started formally evaluating the efficiency of using Scarab Diagnostic Suite during AI-assisted software repair. The question is simple: Does a diagnostic governance layer actually improve the agent patching workflow in a measurable way? Not theoretically. Not…

​ Comparing job offers across states? The gross number on the offer letter is not what hits your bank account, and the spread between states is bigger than most people think. Here is what a single filer earning $100,000 keeps…

​ You may have built some personal projects where you have a backend and a database, and everything just… works. You hit an API, the server does its thing, sends back a response, done. That’s a perfectly fine way to…

​ A pattern I’ve seen on more than one team: weekly eval run finishes, someone sorts the leaderboard, and the worst-performing prompt variant or model checkpoint gets flagged for attention. Someone makes a change, a tweak to the system prompt,…

​ The explosion of generative AI and autonomous agents has completely flipped the script on how we develop software. Today, having tools that can write, refactor, and test code in seconds gives engineering teams an insane speed boost. But the…

​ Data is everywhere, but raw data alone has little value. The real power lies in transforming that data into meaningful insights that support better decisions. Whether you’re a student working on a final-year project, a researcher analyzing survey results,…

​ On December 9, 2021, a security researcher posted a proof-of-concept exploit for a vulnerability in a Java library called Log4j. Within 72 hours, hundreds of millions of systems were at risk. The chaos that followed wasn’t primarily about the…

​ AI coding agents are becoming more useful, but they still need context. A generic agent can write code, explain files, and generate boilerplate. But when you ask it to work with a specific platform, framework, or internal system, it…

​KotlinKotlinConf KotlinConf 2026 marked a milestone for the Kotlin community: the very first Golden Kodee Community Awards. The awards recognize the individuals and communities whose passion and dedication help the Kotlin ecosystem thrive. From creating educational content and building engaging…

​ Toolbox App 3.6 gives you better control over local storage and makes Windows installation failures easier to diagnose. The Toolbox App now shows how much removable data it can safely clean up, providing a breakdown for the download cache,…

​ We’ve just released IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.3. You can update to this version from inside the IDE, using the Toolbox App, or using snaps if you are a Ubuntu user. You can also download it from our website. The latest…
