The Rule of Zero, Three, and Five, sometimes written 0/3/5, is a set of C++ guidelines about resource ownership and the special member functions. They exist because the alternatives are double-frees, dangling pointers, and silently broken copies. In this post…

This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam What I Built For this game jam, I built Dawn Dashers, an adventure runner set during the June Solstice, the longest night of the year in Australia. The idea started…

I Thought This Would Be a Local UI Task This week, I thought I was solving a fairly narrow task: how to show group settings more neatly in the new checklist editor. The question looked local enough: how to read…

One of the biggest challenges in AI-assisted development isn’t choosing the right model. It’s providing the right context. As codebases grow, important information gets scattered across files, commits, architecture decisions, documentation, and debugging history. Developers spend valuable time manually gathering…

Many organizations are already deploying agentic workflows. Some are still experimental, while others are running in production. Once an AI agent can take action on behalf of a business, the question is no longer whether it’s useful, but what happens…

TL;DR Three flash-tier coding models are competing for your API budget right now: Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash (May 19, 2026), Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5 (the reigning budget pick since October 2025), and Microsoft’s MAI-Code-1-Flash (June 2, 2026). Haiku wins on…

False positives interrupt your workflow. In RustRover 2026.1, we reduced them by up to 25% in real projects, so you’ll see fewer misleading warnings, more relevant suggestions, and smoother completion. Read on to learn what causes false positives and how…

We’re excited to be preparing the third edition of Plugin Developer Conf, coming this November 2026 — a free community event focused on developing and managing plugins for JetBrains products. Over the past two years, Plugin Developer Conf has brought…

In the previous article, we examined the importance of software design, and how all software engineering principles have been defined to address issues rather than creating more complexity. In this article, we will begin with one of the most significant…

Biggest thing I learned writing the AI, Ego & Regret series: I argue with myself way more than I thought. Every post goes through the same loop: 10 PM: “This story’s fire. Gonna blow up tomorrow.” 1 AM: “Wait —…

The Vercel AI SDK treats agents as tool-calling loops: the model generates text or invokes tools, the SDK runs those tools, and the loop continues until the model answers or a stop condition fires. This post builds a support triage…

Here is a number most finance teams have never calculated: the total cost of getting one new employee to full productivity in a fragmented digital environment. Not salary. Not benefits. Not the recruiting fee. The cost of the time between…

The backstory Some time ago I adopted Quickwit at my company. For anyone who hasn’t used it: Quickwit is a search engine that runs full-text search directly on object storage (S3 or anything S3-compatible). It decouples compute from storage, so…

Rider 2026.2 EAP 5 is now available, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal Welcome screen and quality-check hooks for AI agents. If you’re catching up on the 2026.2 EAP cycle, be sure to check out the blog…

As someone with three years of experience in large language model algorithms, agent development, and knowledge base construction, I’ve recently had a thought: Vibe Coding has emerged in the programming industry simply because programmers know how to write code. Other…

Encryption hides the contents of your HTTPS connection — but the negotiation that sets up that encryption happens in the clear. The very first message your client sends, before a single byte of application data, has a distinctive shape. JA3…

RAG with Postgres pgvector in 2026: the full TypeScript pipeline. I spent a week evaluating dedicated vector databases before deciding to just use the Postgres instance I already had. The pgvector extension handles similarity search well enough for most production…

In the last post I argued that an LLM should never hold the approval token on a trade. A human approves. The model only proposes. That works as long as a human is in the loop on every order. Then…

An OpenAI-compatible API router should not make your stack more complicated. If it does, it has already failed. The whole point of compatibility is boring simplicity: One base URL. One API key. Same general SDK shape. That gives you room…
