I recently built a small side project called TerraViz.
The goal was straightforward. Create a real-time map that aggregates several global datasets and visualizes them in a single interface.
The challenge was to do it using only free APIs and a lightweight architectur...
For a long time, “senior developer” was a fairly consistent signal. You expected someone who could hold a large architecture in their head, write clean code with low defect rates, debug almost anything, and reason about performance without guesswork. That bundle made sense because the hardest part of shipping software was often the execution layer: translating intent into correct, maintainable ...
Here’s a hard truth: your API could be the most elegant, performant piece of engineering ever created, but if developers can’t figure out how to use it, it might as well not exist.
Documentation isn’t just a checkbox on your project plan. It’s the bridge between your brilliant code and the developers who need to use it. Yet, creating and maintaining API documentation remains one of the ...
Hunting for a website’s hidden APIs used to feel like digital archaeology — hours in DevTools, a dozen Chrome tabs, and the creeping suspicion you’d missed something obvious. Been there, debugged that. But now? AI-powered tools like Hyperbrowser have turned API discovery from a slog into a superpower. Here’s how I use Hyperbrowser’s DeepCrawler (and a classic manual trick) to s...
On February 27, 2026, Foom.cash faced a critical Smart Contract exploit across Ethereum and Base networks. The attack vector was a Groth16 Verifier deployment error, leading to a "Forged Proof" vulnerability. While $2.26M was initially at risk, a coordinated white-hat effort recovered 81% ($1.84M) of the funds.
This post deep-dives into the technical execution of that recovery.
Modern software development relies heavily on the ability of different systems to communicate. Whether a mobile application is fetching weather data or a web frontend is submitting a user registration form, a bridge is required to facilitate this exchange. This bridge is most commonly an Application Programming Interface, or API. Among the various styles of building APIs, REST remains the most ...
