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)....

If you’ve spent any time near a tech conference, a venture capital pitch meeting, or literally any LinkedIn post from the past three years, you’ve probably heard it: quantum computing is the future. More specifically, quantum computing is the future that will replace AI. It’s the narrative that keeps on giving—and by giving, I mean generating headlines, funding rounds, and an impressive amount of confusion about what these technologies actually do....

Building an A/B Testing System in Go: A Practical Guide to Smart Experimentation So you want to run A/B tests in Go. Good news: it’s not rocket science. Bad news: it’s also not as simple as flipping a switch. But here’s the thing—once you’ve got it working, you’ll have superpowers to validate your ideas with real data instead of gut feelings. And that’s when things get interesting. In this article, we’ll build a complete A/B testing system from scratch....

Ever had that nightmare where someone reads your entire codebase, understands your brilliant algorithms better than you do, and then uses them against you? Welcome to the world of developers who don’t obfuscate their code. It’s like leaving your diary on a public bench with a neon sign saying “READ ME.” Code obfuscation isn’t about being secretive or paranoid (okay, maybe a little paranoid—but justified paranoia). It’s a legitimate security practice that transforms your readable, maintainable code into something that still works perfectly but looks like it was written by an alien in a caffeine-induced fever dream....

Getting Started: Why Unity and C# Are Your New Best Friends If you’ve ever dreamed of creating your own video game but thought it required some sort of arcane programming sorcery, I’ve got news for you—it doesn’t. Welcome to the world of Unity and C#, where your wildest interactive dreams can become reality without selling your soul to complexity demons. Let me be honest: game development used to be intimidating. But today’s tools have democratized the process beautifully....
