Have you ever felt like most programming languages are trying too hard to be something they’re not? Like they wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and think, “Today I’m going to be a pure functional language” or “No, actually, I’m strictly object-oriented”? Well, let me introduce you to Raku—the programming language that looked at all those rules and decided they were more like suggestions. Raku, formerly known as Perl 6 (yes, that Perl), is what happens when you take decades of Perl wisdom, throw in modern programming concepts, and refuse to compromise on expressiveness....

Look, I know what you’re thinking. “Beta software in production? That’s insane. That’s how companies end up on Reddit’s r/catastrophicfailure.” And you’re not entirely wrong—it can be a disaster. But here’s the thing: sometimes, calculated risks with beta software can actually strengthen your infrastructure, accelerate your innovation, and give you insights that months of internal testing simply cannot provide. Let me be clear upfront: this isn’t about deploying untested chaos to your production environment and hoping for the best....

If you’ve ever found yourself trying to orchestrate complex data pipelines, you’ve probably heard the age-old question: “Should I go with Airflow or Luigi?” It’s the workflow management equivalent of the great coffee debate—both are widely loved, both have passionate advocates, and both will definitely get the job done. The catch? One’s a sleek espresso machine, and the other’s a reliable coffee press. In this guide, we’re going to dissect both Apache Airflow and Luigi, not just telling you which one is “better” (spoiler alert: it depends), but giving you the practical knowledge to make an informed decision for your specific use case....

I’m going to start with a confession: your tech stack is probably wrong. Not maybe wrong. Probably wrong. And you know what? Mine was too. In fact, I’d wager that if you can name your entire tech stack off the top of your head without checking the documentation, there’s a solid chance you’ve over-engineered something spectacular. Let me explain why this keeps happening—and more importantly, what to do about it....

Building Your First AR Experience: From Zero to Pokemon Go Vibes Let me be honest with you: the first time I tried creating an AR app, I thought I’d need to understand quantum physics, sacrifice a small animal to the dev gods, and probably learn three new programming languages. Turns out, I was only right about one of those things, and it wasn’t the animal part. Fast forward to today, and building AR apps in Unity is actually enjoyable....
