Hi, I'm Sofwan. I'm a Software Engineer (Backend), I write nice software engineering articles. Follow me and Check out my blog at https://t.co/NMHnwILdkZ for some awesome stuff 🙂

Today, we’re excited to introduce Miso One, the most emotive voice model in the world.

Miso One is an 8-billion-parameter text-to-speech model for highly expressive speech generation. It emotes like a human and responds faster than a human, with just 110 milliseconds of latency.

We’ve open-sourced the model weights, with API access coming soon.

Hear how Miso One sounds in the thread below.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read up on IEEE 754. Thats the spec for floating point numbers. NaN is a valid state for any floating point number encoded in IEEE 754 format.

I don’t always use PHP’s property hooks, but they’re a handy way to handle exposing virtual properties without doing a better dance or wiring them up in class constructors.

Perfect for POPOs and DTOs

[Smart👨‍💻 | Software Engineer @smartnakamoura]

A Nigerian fintech just lost ₦20 million to a fake webhook.

Attacker didn’t hack anything.

They just POSTed this to the endpoint:

{
"event": "transfer.success",
"amount": 500000,
"status": "success"
}

Backend credited the user. Zero money moved.

This is happening more in crypto payments too.

What every backend dev must do in 2026:

1. Verify webhook signature + IP + timestamp (not just event name).
2. Never credit on webhook alone always confirm on-chain + NIBSS.
3. Add rate limiting and replay attack protection.
4. Reconcile every stablecoin inflow against blockchain truth.

Crypto rails move fast. One lazy endpoint and you’re done.

Save this like your production depends on it.

Laravel is better than NodeJs between 🤗

@Leonard_Nonso Okay chief

Snowflake IDs works, but he's not wrong also.

Both works.

[730NARD @Leonard_Nonso]

@OfficialSamkayz @tofunmi_ai @Chijioke_ Snowflake IDs have nothing to do with Javascript. I don’t know what systems you’ve built in the past or what CS degrees you claim to have, but none of those are helping you right now. Stop being confidently wrong and learn.

Guy, your first point no follow.

[Sofwan 🦀 Babapupa @SofwanCoder]

Omo, you people really say the dumbest shit.

[David Uchenna @callmidavid]

NoSQL databases like MongoDB runs migrations automatically. So why do I need to manually run migrations in SQL databases like Noen?

[Sofwan 🦀 Babapupa @SofwanCoder]

Just talk about the damn transactions without cooking up stories..

[Smart👨‍💻 | Software Engineer @smartnakamoura]

A guy I know went for a backend role thinking he was ready.

First question they asked:

“What happens when two users try to update the same data at the same time?”

He froze.

Not because he hadn’t seen it… but because he never understood it deeply.

So here are backend concepts explained simply.

Save this. You’ll need it.

[Laravel Updates | Tips and Tricks @laravel_updates]

Most Laravel bugs come from hidden arrays.

`$request->all()` or even `$request->validated()` feels fast, but it hides structure and creates silent issues as your app grows.

DTOs force clarity. You know exactly what data is expected, and your code becomes safer to change.

In the AI era, DTOs are not optional. They are a must for AI-assisted coding and agents to generate reliable code.

If your system is growing, stop passing raw arrays everywhere.

[Alexandre Daubois @alexdaubois]

In #PHP, stream_context_set_default() changes the default context for every stream operation in your entire script.

Set it once. Every file_get_contents('http://...') that follows inherits your headers, timeouts, proxy, SSL config.

Global behavior change, one call. Streams are widely underused!

For my friends who are still using UV and might be a little weary about recent compromises to PyPi packages, stick this in your pyproject.toml.

You can let all of those pip users find and report the compromises...

[Sofwan 🦀 Babapupa @SofwanCoder]

All these to talk about database transaction?

😀

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

A Nigerian fintech startup lost ₦47 million in one night.
Not to hackers. Not to fraud.
To one missing line of code.
Every backend dev in Nigeria needs to see this

[Sofwan 🦀 Babapupa @SofwanCoder]

@pipe_dev Nah! He's just throwing words around.

[joel @joelcompiles]

yep. Windows and macOS brought this on themselves. They don’t give a shit about native developers. Chromium runs literally thousands of field trials on diverse hardware in prod. Look at their GPU driver workaround flags, it’s just another level of optimizing that can only be done at their scale.

it is an absolute marvel of an engineering project led by engineers that deeply care about user experience. it shows up everywhere you look.
