Ever thought about the tech behind haunted houses?

I built a control system for 15 rooms in 10 days on Arduino controllers with 8kb RAM. HATEOAS eliminated the coordination tax between client and server.

Most teams think AWS security slows down development. Based on my experience implementing this at previous startups, proper setup actually speeds up your workflow.

Here's the implementation guide that takes 60 minutes and replaces shared credentials with SSO built-in to AWS.

Stop sharing AWS credentials across your team. Here's how to set up proper environment isolation with SSO that actually improves your development workflow.

Takes 60 minutes, costs nothing, and works from 3 people to 300. 🧵

JPMorgan wants to charge FinTechs up to 1000% of their per-transaction revenue for data access.

Here's how data aggregation actually works, why these fees don't benefit consumers, and what it means for the apps that connect to your bank. 👇

@daisyui_ Is there a big difference between Context7 and GitMCP?

A fun post a finished about ranking restaurants based on their Google Maps data. I came up with and tried out two models traveling back to Louisiana from New York.

It was a long drive...

I reworked patterns from websites I've built into a library called "astro-headstart": one library that helps managing your head in @astrodotbuild. The library manages two essential types of head content: HTML meta tags and JSON-LD.

I've noticed my technical posts are getting more engagement on BSKY than here.

Any thoughts on why?
