Vibe Coding Part 3 — Building a Data Quality Framework in Scala and PySpark (Fri, 23 Jan 2026)
A couple of years ago, I developed a class-based Data Quality (DQ) framework in Scala. After some time, I became part of an accelerator framework that dealt with many data engineering tasks, with data quality being one set of activities. After considering multiple factors, it was decided that the framework would be built using Python. Given that we wanted to handle large datasets and ensure scalability, we decided to implement the data quality framework in PySpark. Using the Scala-based DQ framework as a stepping stone and foundation, I developed an equivalent DQ framework in PySpark. The framework was successful, with the DQ functionality implemented as a Python library and packaged as a wheel.

How a Standardized Logistics Protocol Can Unlock AI's Full Potential in Supply Chain (Fri, 23 Jan 2026)
The logistics industry stands at an inflection point. While artificial intelligence promises to revolutionize supply chain operations — from real-time route optimization to autonomous fleet coordination — a fundamental bottleneck prevents these innovations from reaching their full potential: the lack of a standardized protocol for logistics providers to communicate. The NxM Problem in Modern Logistics Consider this scenario:

Securing AI/ML Workloads in the Cloud: Integrating DevSecOps with MLOps (Fri, 23 Jan 2026)
The security engineer's face went pale when she pulled up the access logs. Her team had deployed a fraud detection model to production three weeks earlier — standard stuff, containerized inference running on Kubernetes. Except someone had been quietly exfiltrating the model weights for the past eleven days through an API endpoint they'd forgotten to lock down. The attacker got everything: training architecture, parameter files, even the feature engineering pipeline. Six months of competitive advantage, gone. This happened at a Series C fintech in San Francisco last April. I know because I helped them write the incident report.

Docker Runtime Escape: Why Mounting docker.sock Is Worse Than Running Privileged Containers (Fri, 23 Jan 2026)
Most DevOps engineers know that running containers with the privileged flag is dangerous. It's one of those things we all learn early on - never use privileged mode in production unless you absolutely have to. Security teams flag it, auditors complain about it, and for good reason. But here's what scared me recently: there's something much worse that's being mounted into production containers every single day, and most teams don't realize the risk. I'm talking about mounting the Docker socket into containers.
