I have noticed that many engineers who run Kubernetes in production have never actually watched it heal itself. They know it does. They have read the docs. But they have never seen a ReplicaSet controller fire, an OOMKill from kubectl describe, or watched pod endpoints go empty during a cascading failure. That’s where 3 am […]

There’s a perception problem with Docker Compose. Ask a room full of platform engineers what they think of it, and you’ll hear some version of: “It’s great for local dev, but we use Kubernetes for real work.” I get it. I held that same opinion for years. Compose was the thing I used to spin […]
Today Quincy Larson interviews Justin Searls. He’s a software engineer who cofounded a software agency 15 years ago that’s still going – even after he figured out how to make a lot of money quickly and retire at age 38 once he had enough savings. These days he’s gone from solving problems for client to […]
Vibe coding is about momentum. You open your editor, prompt an AI, stitch pieces together, and suddenly you have something that works. Maybe it’s messy. Maybe the architecture is not perfect. But it’s live and working, and that’s the point. Then comes deployment. This is where the vibe usually dies. Suddenly, you’re reading about containers, […]
Whenever engineers are building AI-powered applications, use of sensitive data is always a top priority. You don’t want to send users’ data to an external API that you don’t control. For me, this happened when I was building FinanceGPT, which is my personal open-source project that helps me with my finances. This application lets you […]
Today Quincy Larson interviews Carl Brown, who runs the Internet of Bugs YouTube channel and has worked as a dev at Amazon, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and startups for over 37 years. We talk about: The hype versus the utility in LLMs and agent code generation tools Why you might want to target developer jobs at […]
The future of software is code that reasons. We just posted a new course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel designed to take you from Python fundamentals to AI Agent development. This course is a technical deep dive into the stack required to build autonomous intelligence. You will start by mastering core Python syntax and best […]
Stop memorizing isolated commands and start building like a platform engineer. We just posted comprehensive Kubernetes course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel. This hands-on course is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical container orchestration and real-world deployment. Saiyam Pathak developed this course. You will learn to deploy a cloud-native microservices stack from the ground […]
Getting a web developer job today is hard. In 2021, I got my first developer job by sending one direct email and then doing a single live call. That was enough. Later the same year, I found my second job in about three weeks through LinkedIn. At that point, I mostly knew CSS. No serious […]
In fintech or wealthtech products, people constantly need quick market context. They need to know why a particular stock moved, what changed recently, or what they should watch next. This usually becomes manual work. Someone pulls recent returns, checks a couple fundamentals, scans headlines, then writes a short Slack or Notion note. It works, but […]
