Single-activity architecture simplified our Android app early on, but at scale it caused deep-linking, memory, and modularity issues; a hybrid, multi-activity approach proved more resilient.

When requirements are unclear, traditional TDD stalls at setup. By reversing Arrange-Act-Assert and starting with the assertion, developers can clarify intent, design cleaner APIs, and let tests drive architecture—even in chaotic projects.

In regulated deep-tech, people argue about paper vs. 3D models, spreadsheets vs. metadata report, PDFs vs. PLM. That argument misses the point. Regulators don’t want paper. They want proof with properties that survive scrutiny.

Go has a built-in error handling function called 'try' It is used to augment errors before returning them. Go users have long complained about the verbosity of error handling. The Go team has tried to come up with a solution for this problem for years.

Rust has long had an inconsistency with C regarding the alignment of 128-bit integers. This problem has recently been resolved, but the fix comes with some effects that are worth being aware of. As a user, you most likely do not need to worry about these changes unless you are. Ignoring the `improper_ctypes*` lints and using these types in FFI.

The DOM is single-threaded, but modern web apps demand parallelism. This article breaks down practical multithreaded rendering strategies—Web Workers, SharedArrayBuffer, Offscreen Canvas, server-side DOM creation, and parallel DOM approaches—highlighting where each works, where it fails, and how frontend engineers can combine them to push performance beyond main-thread limits.

Stripe Connect Express makes it easy to launch a multi-seller platform, but real complexity shows up after go-live. Seller accounts and capabilities change over time, and payment flows that rely on static assumptions eventually break. This article walks through a practical approach to designing a Stripe Connect Express integration that survives those changes by treating Stripe as an event-driven system, using webhooks as the source of truth, modelling seller state internally, and making payment flows react to that state instead of relying on one-time checks.
