How App Architecture Choices Affect Long-Term Maintenance?
I still remember the sound of the office that night. The air conditioner clicked on and off, and the city outside the window had already slowed into something quieter. I was alone with an app that had been live for years, an app people depended on every day, and I was trying to make a change that should not have taken more than an hour.

Looney Tunes Review: "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century"
As a kid, you think of cartoons as being wholly comedic, but as you get older, you see more depth into your favorite cartoon shorts. Yes, the comedy's there, but there's also action, there's drama, and in some cases, tragedy. Chuck Jones had a knack for being well-rounded with his creations. His cartoons spanned a number of different genres, but the comedy is often there. One such short of Jones' that stood out among many others: the heavily acclaimed Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.

Preventing Frame Drops When LLM Calls Occur During Navigation
The first time I felt it, I didn’t look at a profiler. I felt it in my thumb. I was navigating quickly between two screens, the way people do without thinking, and the transition hesitated for a split second. No freeze. No crash.

Why App Projects Go Over Budget More Often Than Expected?
The spreadsheet looked calm when I first opened it. Neat columns. Reasonable numbers. A timeline that felt ambitious but fair. I remember sitting there mid-morning, sunlight cutting across the table, thinking we had finally planned one cleanly. No excess. No padding. Just enough room to build what we believed we understood.

Open Letter to Disney: Prioritizing Human Creativity in the Age of AI
Disney's recent partnership with OpenAI, which will allow Sora to use over 200 characters—from Mickey Mouse to Yoda—to generate short, user-prompted videos, is being presented by the company as a major step in storytelling innovation. CEO Bob Iger claims this move is about "thoughtfully and responsibly extending the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works." A curated selection of these fan-created, Sora-generated clips featuring Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters will even appear on Disney+. The official line suggests this deal, which includes content guardrails and a commitment to "human-centered AI" and protecting "the rights of creators," is a way to engage fans and broaden creativity while still honoring the creative industries.

The Republic That Vanished Overnight: Inside the Most Mysterious Country No One Can Find on Any Map
The Republic That Vanished Overnight: Inside the Most Mysterious Country No One Can Find on Any Map Some stories arrive like a quiet knock on the world’s door—gentle, uncertain, almost ignorable. And then suddenly, they explode into a global obsession. The tale of a country disappearing overnight sounds like fiction, the kind of plot a novelist cooks up after too much caffeine. Yet history is full of peculiar shadows, and this shadow is shaped like a nation that supposedly existed… until it didn’t.
