Job Postings Are the Most Underused B2B Intent Signal (And You Don't Even Need to Scrape)

A funding announcement tells you a company has money. A job posting tells you exactly where they're about to spend it — and it's published weeks before the pain becomes a purchase. If a target account just opened its first platform-engineer role, they're about to have infrastructure problems. First "Head of Demand Gen"? Marketing budget incoming. Three sales roles in a month? They found product-market fit and every vendor selling to sales teams should already be in their inbox. Job postings are,

I Posted 23 Articles in 3 Months. Then My Body Just Stopped. Zero Posts, 5 Weeks of Burnout.

My Body Went on Strike Before My Mind Did. I'm Still Waiting for It to Come Back. Five weeks ago I was in bed for three days straight and I genuinely could not tell you why. If you've been following my posts, you know the drill by now — Hilt, Retrofit, ViewModels, another "interview prep" post every few days. What you don't see is the other half: the job applications going out into the void, the DEV.to articles I was pushing to write on top of the coding, the constant low hum of "am I doing enou

We Built Guardrails Against JSON Precision Loss. Then We Found Out Half of Them Weren't Actually Guarding Anything.

A few weeks ago I ran this through our own JSON repair tool, in the browser, on our own website: json {"id": 22233344455566677788} It came back as: json {"id": 22233344455566676000} No error. No warning. Just a quietly wrong number, presented as a successful repair. That number is a made-up snowflake ID, the kind of thing you'd see as a primary key in a distributed system. And our own tool — the one whose entire pitch is "we don't ship plausible-looking but wrong results" — had just silently c

How Java's Concurrency APIs Fit Together

A concurrency problem can begin with an ordinary requirement: let two independent Thread, ExecutorService, Future, CompletableFuture, locks, atomics, queues, and synchronizers is harder when they These APIs answer different questions. Some describe work, some decide how it We will build that map around a small customer-dashboard example, then use shorter Suppose an endpoint builds a customer dashboard from a profile and a list of recent var profile = loadProfile(); var orders = loadOrders(); re

I Brought IdentityServer Back to Life as Open Source (.NET 8)

I Brought IdentityServer Back to Life as Open Source (.NET 8) The original IdentityServer project was commercialized. Instead of letting it die, I took the codebase, recompiled it for modern .NET, fixed what was broken, and released it as open source under the Apache 2.0 license. This is not a wrapper — it's a working identity server that I rebuilt and verified end-to-end, with two sample applications proving that multi-app SSO and per-app permissions actually work. OAuth 2.0 + OpenID Connect

Two YubiKeys, One Prompt Too Many

I carry two YubiKeys. One lives on my keyring, one lives in a drawer, and both are enrolled everywhere that matters. A hardware token with no backup is a single point of failure you have chosen on purpose. For months I had a small irritation I never bothered to chase. Some days git push asked for my PIN, I typed it, and it worked. Other days it asked for my PIN, failed, and then asked again, and the second one worked. Same command, same repo, same laptop. The variable turned out to be which of t
