SQLite has become really good. So good, that some companies are using it in production. I want to do the same, but with C+.+ and the drogon framework. But, there's a problem... Here's what it is, and how I worked around it.

Back in October 2025, I announced that I was building a SaaS (Software-as-a-service) product, but would NOT be building it in public. Since then, I’ve been posting videos of me building low-level SaaS code with the Drogon C++ framework. So… what gives? Did I lie? Did I

Why you should still learn to code... Just asked AI to generate integration tests to check that login attempt rate-limiting is working. It bypassed the login controller and just checked the rate-limiter's return codes instead. No checking of the actual login behaviour at all.

For some reason I always find CNC and assembly machines mesmerizing...

Years ago I wanted to create something similar. Instead of a permanent marker, I wanted to try using ElectroChemcial Milling (ECM) to directly etch away copper to create the traces. I never got beyond some basic proof-of-concept experiments, though...
