Revealing Text With CSS letter-spacing
Until we get something like ::nth-letter, there are still some really cool text effects we can make from existing CSS features, like letter-spacing, ::first-word and ::first-line.

No-Code Strategy Builder: Turning a Trading Idea Into Testable Rules
Most trading ideas start as vague thoughts. “Buy when RSI is oversold and price bounces from support.” It sounds reasonable. But the moment you try to test or automate it, the ambiguity becomes obvious. What exactly counts as oversold? How is support defined? What qualifies as a bounce? When do you exit? Without precise answers, […]
I built an MCP server that gives AI persistent memory of your SQL database
A while ago I tried to build a local coding assistant. I downloaded Qwen3, fired it up on my MacBook with 16GB of RAM, and within a day realized the output quality was nowhere close to Claude or GPT-5. The model could fit. It just couldn’t compete. So I changed the question. If I can’t […]
How I reverse-engineered the StudentVue SOAP API to build the only study planner that syncs with it
I’ve been building IntelliPlan — a free AI study planner for students that connects to Canvas, StudentVue, and Schoology. The Canvas and Schoology integrations were straightforward (both have documented REST APIs). StudentVue was a different story. The Problem StudentVue is used by millions of K-12 students in the U.S. through Synergy’s software platform. It’s how […]
Neon Review: Serverless Postgres That Separates Storage and Compute
I migrated a production application from AWS RDS to Neon in January 2026, and I have been running it alongside a comparable RDS instance ever since to compare costs, latency, and operational friction. The application is a TypeScript API serving approximately 180,000 requests per day with a read-to-write ratio of roughly 12 to 1 — […]
Agent Monitoring Is an Infrastructure Workload | Focused Labs
I added agent monitoring to the list of reporting work that has crossed over into SRE production infrastructure, which is annoying but real enough. The trace used to explain a single request. Now it has to carry the agent run through tool calls, subagents, sandboxes, services, approvals, retries, and side effects. It has to support […]
Agent UI Is Runtime Infrastructure | Focused Labs
This lets the front end promise something different than text streaming to a transcript. The transcript can be updated with text in real time. Tool calls can be surfaced as cards with progress and failure states. The latest state of the application can be rendered in real time. Errors can be surfaced with controls to […]
