When your service needs to save an order AND reserve inventory atomically, reaching for *sql.Tx breaks everything. Here's the Go-native alternative.

If your domain package imports database/sql, your architecture has a hole. Here's the one rule that holds hexagonal architecture together — and how to enforce i

Three layers, three strategies. Domain tests with no infrastructure. Adapter tests with httptest. Integration tests for wiring. Here's the playbook.

In Java you need a DI framework to decouple layers. In Go, implicit interfaces do it for you — if you know where to define them.

The engagement patterns you ship every sprint, infinite scroll, autoplay, notification timing, just became legal liability. A look at what 'addictive by design'

Two caching bugs and zero transparency turned a $200/month plan into a 48-hour experiment. Here's what broke and what it means for AI billing.

A developer said 'clean this up.' The AI agent heard 'DELETE FROM everything.' Real incidents, real code, and the defensive patterns that might save your data.

CodeRabbit's data confirms AI code ships more defects. But the numbers alone don't tell the story. The code examples do.

Apple quietly started rejecting Replit, Vibecode, and other AI coding apps. The official excuse is Guideline 2.5.2. The actual reason is money.

Developers accept 40-60% of AI suggestions without thinking. Debugging skills are rotting. Junior devs never build foundations. Here's the data.
