7 GitHub Repos I'd Actually Use to Find Free AI APIs and No-Cost AI Tools

Every time I look for "free AI," I run into the same problem: most lists mix permanent free APIs, short-lived trial credits, and random consumer AI sites as if they were the same thing. They are not, and that difference matters a lot if you are actually building something. After digging through these repos, the useful takeaway is simple: no single repo does everything well. Some are much better ...

Proton Suite Review: Privacy Tools That Fit Together

If you’re searching for a proton suite review, you’re probably tired of stitching together a VPN, email, password manager, and cloud storage from different vendors—and hoping they don’t leak metadata all over the place. Proton’s pitch is simple: privacy-first services that work as a coherent stack. In practice, it mostly delivers, with a few trade-offs worth knowing before you commit. Wh...

Good designers, bad websites: a proposal

I want to discuss accessibility because it is the most important thing for making websites. Other A List Apart articles give you innovation and insight. This article will give you homework. These are just my personal views, but they’re pretty good. I want to start off with a couple of statements, and you will agree: Designers are good people. I have never heard a designer say, “I don’t car...

How to Explain Career Gaps When Your Boss Uses AI to Write Reference Letters

TL;DR 53% of hiring managers now use generative AI to draft professional correspondence (Resumebuilder 2025). Reference letters are squarely in that category. For candidates with career gaps, this is a problem: a generic AI letter doesn't explain why the gap happened, and a gap without context is scored as a risk. This post covers how to spot an AI-generated letter, why it hurts you mor...

Brave Search is the default search engine for AI agents -- not Google

The day the search API market lost half its players In August 2025, Microsoft killed the Bing Search API. The search API market had two major players. Overnight, it had one. This wasn't a quiet deprecation notice buried in a changelog. Microsoft announced in May 2025 that Bing Search API would be fully terminated by August. Three months' notice.

Solana Trading Infrastructure 2026: MEV, Nodes, Latency

In high-frequency trading, the difference between profit and loss is rarely the strategy alone — it’s the execution stack the strategy runs on. In 2026, Solana trading infrastructure is shaped by faster validator clients, lower-latency data propagation, and a path toward sub-150ms finality. Competitive advantage has shifted away from generic RPC access and toward the layers below it: packet handl...

Senior Python Challenges

Senior Python Challenges: What I Learned After Moving From Writing Code to Running Systems in Production Working with Python as a senior developer feels very different from writing scripts or building small services. At scale, the language stops being “simple and forgiving” and starts exposing every architectural decision you made earlier. What used to be elegant code in development often becomes...

Google Says AI Writes 75% Of New Code Now - Are We Still Programming Or Just Reviewing?

Google just said the quiet part out loud, and yeah, it hit developers like a cold splash of water. Sundar Pichai says about 75% of all new code at Google is now AI-generated and approved by engineers, up from 50% last fall. That is not a small workflow tweak. That is a full change in how software gets built. So the real question is not whether AI can code anymore. It clearly can. The quest...

Combining multiple node displays in 3d-force-graph using .nodeThreeObject

I am working on Vasturiano’s (mindblowing, spell-binding) 3d-force-graph, and having trouble combining three seemingly very simple elements: a sprite, an image, and image text. My problems began when in addition to “scholars” represented in the visualization, I created two new categories, “hashtag” and “discipline,” for which I imported custom .pngs. What ends up happening is that keywords (./hash...

##Building a Pricing Engine That Actually Works at Scale

Building a Pricing Engine That Actually Works at Scale Most people think pricing is simple. Set a price → show it → done. But the moment you deal with real traffic, real users, and real business pressure… things get messy very quickly. I’ve worked on systems where pricing wasn’t just a number — it was something that had to react in real time to inventory, demand, and campaigns. And h...

I Automated My Entire Link Management Workflow with a URL Shortener API — Here's How

Most developers I know treat URL shorteners as a throwaway tool. Paste a link, get a short one, move on.

Universal Basic Tokens: The Future of Technological Capitalism?

What if, instead of Universal Basic Income, the powers that be hand us AI tokens? Those who manage to spin those tokens into something commercially viable will survive. The rest will still get their tokens, but they won't be able to trade them for food or shelter—and they will be easy to blame. In our increasingly technocratic society, this feels much closer to reality. Why give people money when ...

My first submit got approved with the binary alone and my 6 leaderboards stayed "In Preparation" with no warning from Apple. It took a re-submit to find all the pieces that aren't obvious from the docs. Here's what ended up working, code included. The native module Expo doesn't ship any game cent...
