Should we feel guilty for using AI?

This blog post is adapted from a blog I wrote at work - it focusses on AI usage in a work setting, particularly from my perspective as a software engineer. Introduction How do you feel about ‘AI’ (by which I mean LLMs[1] in this blogpost) - are you using it a lot on a daily basis, both for work and for personal everyday tasks? Or are you skeptical of its negative impact and have reso...

How Rideshare Drivers Track 1099 Income and Schedule C Deductions in 2026

It's February. You just got your 1099-K from Uber, your 1099-NEC from DoorDash, and a weekly summary from Lyft sitting in three different email threads. You open a shoebox full of gas receipts, your phone's Photos app has 400 screenshots of parking stubs, and you have no idea how many miles you actually drove for business last year. You call your CPA. She says: "Send me your mileage log and a Sch...

SQL SET Operators: UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT Explained Simply

If you are just starting out with SQL, you have probably already learned how to write a SELECT query, filter data with WHERE, and maybe even join two tables together. But what happens when you need to combine results from two completely different queries? That is exactly where SET operators come in. Think of SET operators as tools that let you stack or compare the results of two SELECT queries. I...

Sibling Rivalry? How to Make Kestra Tasks Talk to Each Other

I'm putting together a video on sibling tasks in Kestra and thought I would build this idea out loud with you in a blog first. Let's jump in! What are sibling tasks? Sibling tasks are tasks that have the same parent task. For the rest of this blog, we'll refer to sibling tasks within the context of a dynamic or looping construct. So in this case, we can be more specific and say sibli...

I Built a Production-Ready useFetch Hook with TypeScript — Here's What I Learned (Full Source Code)

🎣 The Hook The first 3 lines decide if someone stays . "I wasted months rewriting the same fetch logic in every React project. One weekend, I built a hook that eliminated 100% of that boilerplate. Here it is, free and open-source." You know the drill. You start a new React component, and before you write a single line of UI, you're already typing: const [data, setData] = useState(null); const [l...

SQL Index Tuning Tools: What Works and When to Use Them

Not all SQL index performance tuning tools and best practices solve the same problem. Some are great for quick fixes. Others are built for deep diagnostics. And that difference becomes obvious the moment performance starts degrading in production. When working with the index of SQL databases, you’ll notice three common approaches: – script-based tuning – built-in DBMS tools – full-featured GUI...

Change impact analysis is the silent time-sink in every medtech QMS

I recently sat through a design-change review where a single component change — a different connector supplier for a cardiac monitor cable — ballooned into requests for updates across what felt like the entire Technical File. Counted them up afterwards: fourteen distinct documents and artefacts touched. Nobody had mapped that up-front. The auditor did, of course, during the next surveillance audit...

Implementing Soft Delete with Filtered Indexes in Entity Framework Core

Soft Delete with Global Query Filters and Filtered Indexes in Entity Framework Core Soft delete sounds simple until it reaches production. If you only add an IsDeleted flag, you have not finished the job. You still need: Default queries that hide deleted rows A write path that converts deletes into updates Unique constraints that ignore soft-deleted rows A restore path that does not ...

SaaS or Self-Hosting? What I Would Actually Use?

Since 2011 I've been developing digital signage software, today mostly open source, and I co-own a company that sells both: SaaS licenses and self-hosting support. No hidden agenda here, just 15+ years of watching what actually happens when businesses choose one over the other. When SaaS makes sense If you're running a handful of screens for a short-term campaign, or you just need some...

Most Real-Time Platforms Don't Fail From Scale. They Fail From Ambiguity

A lot of engineering teams spend time preparing for scale before they prepare for ambiguity. That sounds backward at first, but in practice ambiguity is what breaks many real-time systems long before traffic does. Not infrastructure ambiguity. Operational ambiguity. The kind that shows up when a system technically works, but nobody can clearly answer basic questions like: What state is this r...

Why I built a Zero-Server PDF Editor with React & pdf-lib (and skipped WASM)

The Privacy Bottleneck Merging tax documents or signing contracts often forces a compromise: convenience vs. security. Standard free tools require uploading sensitive data to remote cloud servers, leading to potential data persistence and server log exposure. The objective: Zero data leakage. Files must never leave the local device. Engineering Decisions: Browser RAM vs. 500MB PDFs The common ar...

Reading a Kubernetes bill: what each line item actually means

The bill arrived on a Tuesday, up 38% on last month, and finance wanted to know why by Friday. The attachment was 2,400 lines of m5.2xlarge, persistent-disk-ssd, network-inter-region-egress. Nothing that mapped to a namespace, a team, or anything anyone in the room recognised. If you run Kubernetes in production you've had this week, or you will. And the thing that makes it hard isn't the size of...
