MongoDB as the Brain of Modern AI Applications

Production agents need two persistence layers: thread-scoped state and cross-session memory. Google ADK Sessions stores events and state for a single conversation, while MemoryService handles recall across sessions. LangGraph memory makes the same split with a checkpointer for short-term memory and...

The Entrepreneurial Conundrum

I have business ideas all the time. Every few days something pops into my head, usually triggered by some frustration or gap I notice in daily life. Sometimes I jot them down. I'll even flesh a few out, turn a vague thought into something that feels almost real. Then I lose interest. Or I realise I...

How to Extract OTP Codes with AI Agents — One API Call

How to Extract OTP Codes with AI Agents — One API Call Every AI agent hits the same wall: email verification. 80% of online services require an OTP to sign up. Your agent can fill forms, click buttons, solve captchas — but it can't check an inbox. I built SandMail to fix this. One API call creates...

An AI-Ready NestJS + Next.js Boilerplate for 2026

I built a NestJS + Next.js monorepo I'd happily start any new SaaS on today. It's on GitHub. The README covers what's in it. This post is about three decisions that shaped how it's organized, and why I think they'll hold up as AI assistants keep getting better at writing code. 1. Drizzle...

API Key Authentication in smallstack: How We Built Secure External Access

One of the core promises of a platform like smallstack is that it plays well with the rest of your stack. That means: a clean REST API, webhook support for external automation — and a way for external systems to authenticate without impersonating a user. We recently shipped API key management for s...

Intro to React: Why Everyone’s Switching (And Why You Might Too)

You open a website. Click a button. It responds instantly. No reload. No flicker. No waiting. Now pause. Another website. Same action. Click… wait… whole page reloads… scroll resets… frustration kicks in. Ever wondered what creates that difference? Let’s walk through it—not like a lesson, bu...

RAG From First Principles: Why Every AI App Retrieves Before It Generates

Large language models have a problem nobody talks about at the beginning. You train a model on terabytes of internet data. It knows a lot. But it doesn't know your data — your company's policies, your product docs, last week's incident report, or the contract you signed yesterday. Ask it anyway, a...

Don't Use AI to Do This

AI is useful. I use it too. But there is one thing I really do not think you should hand over to it too early. Do not use AI to replace your first round of thinking. That first messy pass matters more than people admit. It is where you figure out what you actually believe, what you do not understa...

We ditched worktrees for Claude Code. Here's what we use instead

Everyone's running multiple Claude Code agents in parallel now. The standard advice is "use git worktrees." Each agent gets its own copy of the codebase, its own branch, no conflicts. We covered worktrees in our 10 Claude Code tips you didn't know: tip 6 covers the --worktree flag and how it works...

On-Device AI Agents vs Cloud AI Agents: Which Path Are You Betting On?

Originally published at recca0120.github.io Running a full-stack Rails project locally means at least four services: Rails server, Sidekiq, frontend build, and CSS watch.

The surprise AI bill that made me build TokenBar

I kept opening my AI tools and losing track of what I was spending. Not because I was doing anything shady. Just because token usage is invisible by default. You send a few prompts, the model retries a few times, you leave a tab open, and the bill shows up later like a prank. That was the problem...
