2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey

Visual Studio and VS Code continue to reign supreme, fending off AI IDEs in the Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey. AI-generated devs noted as time-consuming and lacking trust, while Microsoft tools still dominate in agentic AI with GitHub and ChatGPT. More to discover, as always, Stack Overflow D..

So you want to parse a PDF?

Out of 3,977 real-world PDFs, 0.5% broke during xref pointer parsing. Not a huge number—unless you're the one parsing them. The top culprit? Junk data before the start pointer. Classic. Other file weirdness: broken xref tables, bad object offsets, and inconsistent xref chains...

Scaling Netflix's threat detection pipelines without streaming

Netflix’s “Psycho Pattern” stitched togetherSpark, Kafka, and Airflowinto a relentless micro-batch pipeline. It tracked high watermarks for near-real-time threat detection—fast enough, sharp enough. Then came the Flink switch. Lower latency? Sure. But it missed the mark. Signal quality stayed flat...

My Functional Programming Awakening: Patterns I'd Been Using All Along

Building a Redis Clone from Scratch – In-Memory KV Store with TCP

Right now it handlesGET,SET, andDELETEover a socket-level protocol. No HTTP. No bloat. At its core: aConcurrentHashMapdoing the heavy lifting. Fast, in-memory, and de..

I used NotebookLM to learn a new programming language, and it actually worked

A CS student taught themselvesSwiftusingNotebookLM, Google’s AI that sticks to sources you feed it. They pulled in handpicked docs, YouTube transcripts, and visual mind maps—all dropped into a custom notebook. No generic guesses. No hallucinated trivia. Just clean, source-grounded answers on syntax ..

Did you know you can clap for someone’s content up to 50 times on Medium?

Well, you can.

And to protect you from carpal tunnel syndrome, I packaged that behavior into a little extension for Chrome.

It works like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN3soEz-5Z4

Open up your developer tools (right-click & choose inspect)

Then, navigate to the “console”:

And if you have a bunch of caca (that’s Spanish for 💩) in your Console you can click the little 🚫 icon to clear it:

Then:

copy the JavaScript code below
paste it into the Console area
press the Return key

and spread the clap!

(Scroll up to the top of this article before you press enter if you want to see it in action)

let clapButton = document.querySelector('button[data-testid="headerClapButton"]');
if (clapButton) {
const events = ['mousedown', 'mouseup', 'click'];

async function performClap() {
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
events.forEach(eventType => {
let event = new MouseEvent(eventType, {
'view': window,
'bubbles': true,
'cancelable': true
});
clapButton.dispatchEvent(event);
});
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10)); // Introducing a 10ms delay between claps
}
console.log("+50 Claps! Now, go join the SERP community!");
}

performClap();
} else {
console.log("Clap button not found!");
}

Want the extension?

I submitted the extension to the Chrome app store and it’s pending approval as of this writing…

But if you’re too excited to sit around when you could be clappin’ it up — you’re welcome to grab the bootleg here:
