I made this lightweight Flask app designed to make checkout math faster, clearer, and more accurate. It helps users calculate the discount amount and final price before making a purchase or a cashiers who have to do coupons manually (like me), while keeping the logic strict enough to prevent bad inp...
Read articleYou ask your AI assistant how to do something. It gives you clean, confident code, with an install line at the top: ```bash pip install aws-helper-sdk ``` You run it. The build works. You move on. Except `aws-helper-sdk` never existed. The model made it up. And last month, someone registered that...
Read articleMost browser automation tools built for AI agents start from an inconvenient premise: they assume your task wants a clean, empty browser window. Tools like Playwright or Puppeteer boot disposable profiles in headless mode. That's fine for running test suites in continuous integration. It falls fla...
Read articleI've been on a bit of a "install random dev tools and see if they actually hold up" kick lately, and this time I pointed it at Dopbase.

Read articleSo I did the thing everyone tells you not to do. I took the whole codebase. Every route, the migrations, the config, that `utils.ts` nobody's touched since 2023. Dumped all of it into a model with a context window big enough to swallow the entire repo in one go, and asked it one question: "What's...
Read articleI've been an emergency doctor in Serbia for 12 years, Emergency medicine is intense, and burnout is real. This summer I started building websites out of pure curiosity, and as a way to switch off after shifts. My coding background: a little BASIC and Pascal, a very long time ago,lol. Since then, no...
Read articleEvery time Figma renders a complex design instantly, or Google Sheets recalculates a huge spreadsheet without lag, or a Shopify store applies a custom checkout rule — you're using WebAssembly. You probably didn't know that, and that's kind of the point. For about 25 years, the browser could really ...
