Valid Anagram Explained with Simple Logic
Introduction String problems are very common in programming, and one of the most basic yet important problems is checking whether two strings are anagrams. This problem helps build a strong understanding of character frequency and hashing. Problem Statement Given two strings s and t, return true if
How I Built a Production Android Document Scanner in Kotlin — The Hard Parts Nobody Talks About
I spent months building a complete document scanner app in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. 110 files. 21,000+ lines of code. Along the way I hit problems that no tutorial prepared me for. Here are the hard parts and how I solved them. The "auto-capture" feature sounds simple: detect when the document i
Why I Started Splitting Planning, Implementation, Testing, and Documentation in AI Workflows
While testing different AI coding tools, I kept running into two recurring problems. The first one was cost. Using the same model to plan, implement, review, test, and document does not make much sense. Not every stage requires the same level of reasoning. The second problem was more important: when
Find Minimum and maximum in an array
Find Minimum and maximum in an array Given an array, find: min val max val Code class Solution: def getMinMax(self, arr): min_val = arr[0] max_val = arr[0] for num in arr: if num max_val: max_val = num return [min_val, max_val] Line-by-Line Explanation Initialize min and max min_val = arr[0] max_val

uignore — a .gitignore for AI coding tools
AI coding tools are incredibly useful. They can read your codebase, understand context across dozens of files, and make changes in seconds. They can also read your .env file. Your secrets/ directory. Not because they're malicious — but because nothing stops them by default. I built uignore to fix th
I-Career-Advisor-That-Remembers-You
AI Was Helping Me Prepare for Internships — Until I Realized It Was Forgetting Everything While building an AI career advisor, I kept noticing something frustrating. Every interaction looked good in isolation. I’d ask for resume feedback, get useful suggestions, close the tab—and when I came back, t
Build a Privacy-First Image Compressor That Runs Entirely in Your Browser
The Problem Every online image compressor uploads your files to a server. That means: Your images pass through someone else's infrastructure Compression takes time due to upload/download Privacy-sensitive images (screenshots, documents) leave your device The HTML5 Canvas API can compress images enti
Next Permutation Explained Step by Step
Introduction In many problems, we need to rearrange numbers into the next possible greater order. This is known as the next permutation. This problem is important because it teaches how to manipulate arrays efficiently without generating all permutations. Problem Statement Given an array of integers
API Response Optimization
In the early days of a startup, functional is the goal. You write a query, you get the data, and you send it to the frontend. But as we scaled past 50,000 users, that functional code became a massive liability. We realized that frontend performance means nothing if your backend is bloated. When ever
Identifying Early Warning Signs of Attention Mechanism Instability
Originally published at adiyogiarts.com Explore transformer failure modes and attention mechanism breakdowns. Learn to identify, analyze, and mitigate issues in AI models for performance. THE FOUNDATION Early identification of attention mechanism instability is crucial for maintaining model integrit
Learning JavaScript in Public (and why I finally started)
Hello there I’ve been learning JavaScript for about a month now, mostly through Scrimba, and up until recently I was just quietly going through lessons without sharing anything. Then I came across an idea that kept coming up: learning in public. At first, I ignored it. I didn’t feel ready, and hones
We Replaced Every Tool Claude Code Ships With
The Problem: Claude Code's Tools Don't Scale Claude Code ships with a reasonable set of built-in tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Task, Plan. For a single agent working on a single task, they're fine. But once you're running a multi-agent system — reviewers spawning sub-reviewer
When to Use SQL vs NoSQL Databases: A Comprehensive 2026 Guide
Choosing the right database is not about trends. It's about understanding your data, your scale, and your use case. If you're building applications in 2026, you've probably encountered the SQL vs NoSQL debate countless times. This comprehensive guide provides clear decision-making frameworks, real-w
No More LangGraph — Build Your Own Agentic Graph
There’s always a moment that comes up in almost every serious AI project. To be honest, at first everything feels simple. Like you wire up a model, add a tool or two, maybe introduce a planner. Then the system grows! You add another agent. And suddenly, what started as a clean “agent flow” turns int
Where Are the Maps for Code?
When we return to a codebase after a few months, a lot of the work is not writing code at all, but rebuilding context. We reopen files, trace relationships again, reread docs, search logs, and try to reconstruct the same mental map we had before. That feels normal only because we are used to it. Eve
Managing High Traffic Applications with AWS Elastic Load Balancer and Terraform
Day 5 of the 30-Day Terraform Challenge - and today was the day I graduated from "it works on my machine" to "it works even if half my machines are on fire." Remember Day 4? I was celebrating my cluster like a proud parent at a kindergarten graduation. Cute, but naive. Today, I strapped a rocket boo
ArXiv Struggles with AI-Generated Content Surge: Increased Funding and Independence Needed to Sustain Operations

DESIGNING THE ARCHITECTURE FOR MEMORY DRIVEN AI SYSTEM
Designing the Architecture for a Memory-Driven AI System Was More About Data Flow Than Models Rethinking the Real Challenge At the beginning, it seemed obvious that the hardest part of building an AI system would be the model itself. It wasn’t. The real complexity emerged in designing how data flows
Kadane’s Algorithm: Finding the Maximum Subarray Sum
Introduction In many problems involving arrays, we are interested in finding a subarray that gives the maximum possible sum. A subarray is a continuous part of an array. Kadane’s Algorithm is an efficient way to solve this problem in linear time. Problem Statement Given an integer array arr[], find
