Not Just Crashes: Your Observability Stack for the Mobile App (Mon, 01 Dec 2025)
Go beyond Crashlytics by adopting latency tracing, ANR root-cause analysis, and in-app telemetry to understand the end-user journey. If you are a mobile engineer, you have probably felt the same gut punch I have: ship a feature, see the app store rating drop, see reviews say nothing more useful than "app is slow" or "app keeps freezing."

Why Open-Source OpenSearch 3.0 Is More Than Just an Upgrade: An Interview (Mon, 01 Dec 2025)
OpenSearch 3.0 is more of a signal flare than just another version bump. The open-source project, which began as a fork of Elasticsearch, has now grown into a fully differentiated, community-driven search and analytics platform. With performance leaps, modular architecture, and a deeper embrace of AI workloads, OpenSearch 3.0 marks a pivotal shift toward a more scalable, flexible, and future-ready open source engine. To unpack what’s new and what’s next, I spoke with Anil Inamdar, Global Head of Data Services at NetApp Instaclustr. Anil has decades of experience helping enterprises adopt and operate open source data technologies at scale. In this conversation, he explains why 3.0 matters not just for developers already on OpenSearch, but for any engineering team rethinking how they search, monitor, and analyze data in a distributed world.

Building an OWASP 2025 Security Scanner in 48 Hours (Mon, 01 Dec 2025)
OWASP dropped its 2025 Top 10 on November 6th with a brand-new category nobody saw coming: "Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions" (A10). I spent a weekend building a scanner to detect these issues and immediately found authentication bypasses in three different production codebases. The most common pattern? return True in exception handlers, effectively granting access whenever the auth service hiccups. This article walks through building the scanner, what I found, and why this matters way more than you think. Friday Night: OWASP Releases Something Interesting I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw the OWASP announcement. They'd just released the 2025 Top 10 list at the Global AppSec Conference. Most people were talking about Supply Chain Security moving up to #3, but something else caught my eye.

Real-Time Computer Vision on macOS: Accelerating Vision Transformers (Mon, 01 Dec 2025)
Hi mates! For years, "computer vision" meant convolutional neural networks (CNN). If you wanted to detect a cat, you would use a CNN. If you wanted to recognize a face, you used a CNN. But in 2020, the game changed. A paper entitled "An Image is Worth 16x16 Words" introduced the Vision Transformer. Instead of looking at pixels through small sliding windows — convolution — the ViT treats an image like a sequence of text patches. It sees the "whole picture" all at once, and often with better accuracy.
