For a long time, I used to watch videos, listen to podcasts, or take in other content while I coded. At first, it felt productive. I was making better use of my time by writing code and learning something new. Eventually, I decided to try something different. I stopped playing anything in the background and […]

When discussing security in software companies, many focus on code vulnerabilities. However, modern software includes much more than code written by internal engineers. It consists of thousands of interconnected components, including open-source libraries, third-party packages, APIs, cloud services, development tools, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, AI models, datasets, and external vendors. This entire ecosystem is called the […]

Large Language Models are transforming software development, but the core value of a software engineer remains unchanged. In the era of LLMs, speed alone is insufficient. Strong engineers think critically, verify results, communicate effectively, and make sound technical decisions. Here are the principles that matter most: Understand the problem before generating solutions. LLMs can quickly produce code, […]

A small database decision once caused us a big headache. In one of our projects, we stored prices in the database using DECIMAL fields. It felt like the right choice. We wanted accuracy. We wanted clean financial data. Everything looked fine until inflation hit us hard. Because of the high inflation in the Iranian currency, numbers […]

Back in 2011, I took my first steps into the world of programming. Back then, learning was tough. My primary resources were just a few printed books that I had to read over and over. Programming classes were few and far between, and if they existed, reaching them was nearly impossible due to time and […]

Many parents hear about opportunities in programming and rush to put their children in coding classes at very young ages, often expecting quick results. The truth is that coding can be a powerful skill for kids, but only when introduced at the right time and in the right way. Readiness matters more than age. A […]
