Let me tell you about the last time I implemented a binary search tree from scratch at work. It was never. The time before that? Also never. The time I had to reverse a linked list in production? You guessed it—never happened, and if it did, I’d probably be fired for not using the standard library. Yet here we are in 2025, still asking candidates to perform algorithmic gymnastics that have about as much relevance to their daily work as a medieval jousting tournament has to modern transportation....

So, you’ve been using Jenkins for a while, clicking through its web interface, setting up pipelines, and occasionally cursing when something breaks at 3 AM. But then one day, you think: “I wish Jenkins could do this specific thing.” You search for a plugin, scroll through hundreds of results, and nothing quite fits your needs.

Before you close this tab and write an angry comment about how I “don’t understand Agile,” hear me out. I’ve spent years watching teams religiously convert every single requirement into the sacred “As a… I want… So that…” format, even when it made absolutely no sense to do so....

Ever felt like managing servers is about as fun as watching paint dry? Well, you’re in for a treat! Today we’re diving headfirst into the wonderful world of serverless computing with AWS Lambda and Python. Think of it as having a magical cloud butler who only shows up when you need them, does exactly what you ask, and then vanishes into thin air – no server maintenance, no capacity planning headaches, just pure, unadulterated code execution bliss....

Picture this: you’re at a coffee shop, sipping your overpriced latte, when suddenly you overhear two developers arguing about whether to build their shiny new app using React Native or go full native. One developer waves their hands dramatically, shouting “Code reusability!” while the other counters with “Performance and user experience!” Sound familiar? Well, grab another coffee because we’re diving deep into when you should absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt choose native development over cross-platform solutions....
