It’s running inside a local-first notes app. Changes get logged with DB triggers. Sync state? Tracked by hand. Svelte stores update via lightweight polling, wi..

Go is still not good

Go’s been catching flak for years, and the hits keep coming: stiff variable scoping, no destructor patterns, clunky error handling, and brittle build directives. Critics point out how Go’s design often blocks best practices like RAII and makes devs contort logic just to clean up resources or manage ..

Developer's block

Overdoing “best practices” can kill momentum. Think endless tests, wall-to-wall docs, airtight CI, and coding rules rigid enough to snap. Sounds responsible—until it slows dev to a crawl. The piece argues for flipping that script. Start scrappy. Build fast. Save the polish for later. It’s how you d..

Bash Explained: How the Most Popular Linux Shell Works

Bash isn't going anywhere. It's still the glue for CI/CD, cron jobs, and whatever janky monitoring stack someone duct-taped together at 2am. If automation runs the show, Bash is probably in the pit orchestra. It keeps things moving on Linux, old-school macOS (think pre-Catalina), and even WSL. Stil..

Combining GenAI & Agentic AI to build scalable, autonomous systems

Agentic AI doesn’t just crank out content—it takes the wheel. Where GenAI reacts, Agentic AI plans, perceives, and acts. Think less autocomplete, more autonomous ops. Hook them together, and you get a full-stack brain: content creation, real-time decisions, adaptive workflows, all learning as they ..

Effectively building AI agents on AWS Serverless

AWS just dropped support for buildingserverless agentic AI systems. You’ll need the Strands Agents SDK, Bedrock AgentCore (preview), plus trusty tools like Lambda and ECS. What’s new? Agentic AI flips the script. Instead of dumb prompt-in, response-out bots, you getgoal-driven loopswith memory, too..

Are OpenAI and Anthropic Really Losing Money on Inference?

DeepSeek R1 running on H100s puts input-token costs near$0.003 per million—while output tokens still punch in north of$3. That’s a 1,000x spread. So if a job leans heavy on input—think code linting or parsing big docs—those margins stay fat, even with cautious compute. System shift:This lop-sided ..

Some thoughts on LLMs and Software Development

Most LLMs still play autocomplete sidekick. But seasoned devs? They get better results when the model reads and rewrites actual source files. That gap—between how LLMs are designed to work and how prosactuallyuse them—messes with survey data and muddies the picture on real gains in code quality and..

37 Things I Learned About Information Retrieval in Two Years at a Vector Database Company

A Weaviate engineer pulls back the curtain on two years of hard-earned lessons in vector search—breaking downBM25,embedding models,ANN algorithms, andRAG pipelines. The real story? Retrieval workflows keep moving—from keyword-heavy (sparse) toward embedding-driven (dense). Across IR use cases, the ..

A Magento 2 quote extension allows customers to request a quote for products or services they're interested in purchasing. This extension can be particularly useful for businesses that offer custom or bulk orders, as it allows customers to request a personalized quote rather than paying a fixed price.

With a Magento 2 quote extension, customers can easily add products to their quote request, specify quantities, and provide any additional information or requirements. Once the quote request is submitted, the merchant receives a notification and can review and respond to the request with a custom price quote.

This extension can help businesses streamline their sales process, as it eliminates the need for customers to negotiate prices via phone or email. It can also improve customer satisfaction by providing a transparent and flexible pricing model that meets their specific needs and budget.

By enabling clients to instantly get a product quote, you may increase user interaction and gather quality leads. The premium capabilities of the extension enable you to show the 'Add to Quote' button on particular categories so that clients can see the price estimates of several products at once. Customers who inquire about prices may also leave comments. The 'Add to Quote' button's text and background color can be customized.

Limit the 'Add to Quote' button based on customer groups. Additionally, you may choose to approve and respond to the appropriate quote requests by viewing them all in a single control panel. You may keep the admin and customers properly updated about changes to the requests using email settings.

Overall, a Magento 2 quote extension can be a valuable addition to any e-commerce store, providing an efficient and user-friendly way for customers to request custom or bulk orders and for merchants to respond with personalized quotes.
