Performance testing is like stress-testing a relationship—you want to know how your system behaves when things get intense. And just like choosing the right partner, picking between Apache JMeter and Gatling can make all the difference. Let me walk you through this journey. Why Performance Testing Matters Before we dive into the tools, let’s be honest: nobody wakes up excited to test performance. But here’s the thing—your users will definitely wake up upset if your application crumbles under load....
The question sounds absurd at first glance—right up there with “Can my toaster run for Congress?” Yet here we are in 2026, watching AI systems become increasingly sophisticated contributors to our digital infrastructure. Some of them literally write code, review pull requests, and suggest architectural decisions. So maybe it’s time we ask: should these digital citizens get a say in how open-source projects govern themselves? The Paradox We’re Not Talking About Let me paint you a picture....
If you’ve ever wondered whether making a game is something “only for game studios,” let me burst that bubble for you—it’s not.

The truth is, web scraping exists in a legal Bermuda Triangle. It’s not universally illegal. It’s not universally legal....
How a Norwegian Defence Project Accidentally Revolutionized Programming Forever Let me tell you a story about how some brilliant Norwegian researchers set out to solve a specific problem in the early 1960s, and ended up fundamentally transforming the entire landscape of software development. Spoiler alert: they had no idea they were about to create one of the most influential programming paradigms in history. The Birth of an Idea: Monte Carlo Simulations and Late-Night Frustrations Back in the late 1950s, Kristen Nygaard was working on Monte Carlo simulations at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (NDRE)....
