If you’ve ever wanted to bend Chrome to your will and create your own extension, buckle up—because we’re about to make it happen. And I promise, it’s not as intimidating as it sounds. In fact, by the time you finish reading this, you’ll have built something you can actually use. Why Should You Care About Chrome Extensions? Let’s be real: Chrome is everywhere. And Chrome extensions are like the Swiss Army knife of web browsing....
Let’s talk about something that usually gets relegated to the “nice to have” pile in most development shops: accessibility. And I’m not talking about that awkward moment when someone mentions WCAG compliance and everyone suddenly finds their shoes very interesting. I’m talking about something more fundamental—should our programming languages themselves be the ones policing accessibility standards? Here’s my hot take: we’ve been approaching this problem backwards. We’ve created mountains of guidelines, compliance frameworks, and regulatory requirements, yet we still treat accessibility like it’s a feature you bolt on at the end, right before launch, when someone remembers “oh yeah, screen readers exist....
So, you’ve got data. Lots of it. Maybe you’re building the next unicorn startup, or perhaps you’re scaling an existing application to handle millions of users. Either way, you’ve hit that inevitable crossroads: SQL or NoSQL? It’s like choosing between coffee and tea—both will keep you awake, but they taste completely different and work better in different contexts. The truth is, there’s no universal answer. But there is a systematic way to choose, and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today....
The Invisible Hand That Turns Down Your Paycheck You know that feeling when you realize your favorite coffee shop has slightly raised prices, but only for you? Now imagine that happening with your paycheck, except you never find out why, and neither does anyone else. Welcome to the age of algorithmic wage suppression—where artificial intelligence has become the modern-day robber baron’s best friend. I’ve spent the last few years watching how technology intersects with labor, and I have to be honest: this particular flavor of digital innovation tastes like betrayal served cold with a side of plausible deniability....
So you want to build an online workshop platform. Maybe you’ve noticed how much the world needs better ways to teach people Go programming — a language that’s wonderfully pragmatic but criminally underrated in the dev community. Or perhaps you’re just tired of watching Zoom workshops crash when 500 developers join simultaneously (hello, bandwidth issues). Either way, you’ve landed on Go, which is exactly the right move. Why Go, though? Because Go is the Swiss Army knife of backend development — it’s concurrent by default, compiles to a single binary, and makes your DevOps team smile like they just got free coffee....
