Building Something That Needs to Last? Try These 5 Clean Code Rules

In brief: Clean code rules should make the next change easier to make and harder to get wrong. Separate concerns so one change does not ripple through unrelated parts. DRY the rules and facts that must stay consistent, not every pair of similar lines. KISS by choosing the clearest design that meets the real need. […]

LangChain MCP Adapter 2.0 Went Stateless. Your Tool Can Still Ask You.

In brief LangChain MCP Adapter 2.0 supports stateless MCP. Modern servers no longer need a transport session to persist between tool calls, which makes ordinary load balancing easier. Stateless transport does not remove application state. Your booking, payment, or other workflow still needs durable identifiers and storage. Tools can pause for a person. MCP elicitation […]

Your FastAPI Middleware May Never See the Whole Response

A FastAPI middleware can return a response before a streaming response has finished sending its body. That is the shorthand behind this headline: the middleware can inspect the response object, yet still not have seen every byte the client will receive. To understand why, think of middleware as a wrapper around an ASGI application, not […]

API Design HTTP QUERY method REST API Software Architecture

After 16 Years, HTTP Gets a New QUERY Method

Quick summary Queries with a body: HTTP QUERY expresses read-only searches with structured request content and safe, idempotent semantics. Caching needs support: A compatible cache must account for the request body and relevant metadata when reusing results. Test the complete request path: Check clients, frameworks, gateways and caches before adopting QUERY; GET and POST remain […]

JSONL Explained: The One-Line Format That Makes Data Pipelines Easier

Quick summary One record per line: JSONL stores a complete JSON value on each UTF-8 line, making large datasets easier to stream, append and inspect. Handle boundaries correctly: Buffer incomplete network chunks and validate each record against both JSON syntax and your data contract. Plan for failures: Define how to handle malformed lines, retries and […]

How Jev Works: The Parallel Decision Model That Skips Token-by-Token JSON

Quick summary Typed decisions: Jev evaluates declared questions in parallel and returns bounded answers instead of generating a JSON string token by token. Keep questions narrow: Define one judgement per field and let application code combine the results. Validate on your own data: Type safety does not guarantee correctness; test accuracy, confidence and review thresholds […]

Games Made With Astra: 7 AI Game Experiments and Lessons for Developers

Quick summary Seven experiments: The article examines reported examples of Astra contributing to game prototyping and development. Follow the development loop: Useful assistance includes interpreting a brief, editing, running the game and repairing observed problems. Distinguish levels of involvement: Generating a prototype, editing a project and testing gameplay are different contributions. Keep human ownership: A […]

Systematic Debugging: Reproduce, Isolate, Test and Verify

Quick summary Reproduce the symptom: Start with a clear difference between expected and actual behaviour. Isolate the cause: Reduce the case and use logs, metrics and traces to find where behaviour changes. Test one hypothesis: Make a focused change that can confirm or reject a specific explanation. Verify the fix: Check the outcome and add […]
