Notes from the workshop
Practical write-ups on building web and mobile products — engineering, product decisions, and lessons learned along the way.
What Happens If Your Developer Leaves? How We Staff a Project
What happens if your developer leaves, gets sick or goes on holiday? Our answer is how we staff: an architect on every project, reviewed code, documentation and named people in the contract. Plus the numbers on bus factor, and the things a team our size can't cover.
ISO 9001:2026 Is Here. What It Actually Changes for Your Quality Records
ISO 9001:2026 was published on 16 September 2026, and the transition emails already imply you need a digital quality system. You do not. The revision adds no requirement for electronic records, audit trails or software. Here is what actually changed, and the four options worth costing.
Cyber Resilience Act Reporting Starts on 11 September 2026
From 11 September 2026, manufacturers selling software or connected devices into the EU must report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Who is in scope, what your three real options are, and why the runbook is the easy part.
We cut publishing from 90 minutes to 5. The Strapi MCP server did half of it.
Publishing one article in English, German and Serbian used to take up to two hours, almost none of it writing. It now takes five minutes. A field report on the Strapi MCP server, the skill layer that matters more, and the failure that only appeared once the pipeline got fast.
Code review is the new bottleneck. What to change when AI writes half your code
AI made writing code cheap and reviewing it expensive. Faros AI measured 98% more pull requests and 91% longer review times on teams with high AI adoption. Here are the four options for your merge gate, which one we recommend, and what our answer costs us.
Manual QA when AI writes the code: what to keep and what to automate
AI writes the feature and the tests, the suite goes green, and nobody has checked whether the app is any good to use. Four ways to run QA and acceptance when most of your code is AI assisted, what each one misses, and the one I recommend.
The Price of Code Is Zero. Here's What Clients Actually Pay Us For
Generating code is basically free now, and AI bills are exploding. So what do clients actually pay a software company for? Judgment, proof that the build pays for itself, and control over what it costs to run. A founder's take on selling development in the AI era.
How We Pick a Web Framework in 2026, and Why Laravel Keeps Winning Our Default Slot
Every project starts with the same quiet argument. Here is the checklist we actually use, stability, security, speed, ORM, MVP speed and AI agentic readiness, scored honestly across Laravel, Django, Rails and Next.js, including the one job where we reach for something else.
We Moved Search to Meilisearch and a 500ms Query Became 35ms
We moved a parking app's search off the database onto Meilisearch. A complex query went from 500ms to 35ms, typos stopped killing results, and the map finally felt fluent. Notes on why fast, forgiving search is a sales feature.
Your App Is Built. Now Comes the Part Nobody Warned You About
Building an app and publishing it are two different projects. This is the plain reality of App Store and Google Play deployment for founders: the waiting times, the two week Android tax, the rejection loops, and the traps that quietly cost you your launch date.
