5 Lessons learned building a web application crawler

Feb 12, 2026 By Jiri Kaipr In Rainforest
Building a web application crawler came with plenty of challenges—here’s what we learned. Recently, we built a web application crawler from scratch—which had some scratching their heads, asking why we’d undertake such a thing. Here’s our answer to that, plus some interesting technical challenges we ran into and how we tackled them.

How to Choose Between Server-Side and Web-Based Reporting

Feb 12, 2026 By InsightSoftware In InsightSoftware
Any time an organization closes the books or practices the governance needed to meet regulatory demand, it relies on reporting. Reporting technology is designed to save time while increasing accuracy, but many long-standing reporting vendors are existing or de-emphasizing this still-essential space. This leaves a gap for teams that need a modern, production-grade reporting solution. And when choosing between reporting tools, architecture is important.

Chrome Developer Tools: The Ultimate Overview

Feb 12, 2026 By Tapas Adhikary In Bugfender
Chrome developer tools, or Chrome DevTools, give us a window on how our websites working in the wild. Built for developers of all experience grades, they provide powerful ways to inspect, debug and optimize our projects. However the sheer breadth of functionality can be a mind-melt if you’ve not worked with DevTools before, and there are lots of advanced features that even experienced users find tricky.

Is Node.js Single-Threaded... or Not?

Feb 12, 2026 By Estefany Aguilar In NodeSource
You’ve probably heard: “Node.js is single-threaded.” That statement is only partially correct. The JavaScript engine (V8) is single-threaded. Node.js as a runtime is not. Under the hood, Node.js uses multiple threads — through libuv and the operating system — to handle I/O and computationally expensive work. So the real question isn’t whether Node.js is single-threaded. It’s.

See exactly why your Gradle Build Cache missed: new Task Inputs visibility feature

Feb 12, 2026 By Zsolt Márta In Bitrise
Every Android developer has been there: yesterday's build finished in 2 minutes, but today's identical build takes 8 minutes. You check your code - nothing major changed. You check your environment - everything looks the same. So why the massive difference? Without visibility into what actually changed between builds, debugging performance issues becomes guesswork. You're left wondering: Which tasks didn't come from cache? What inputs changed? Why did this specific compilation task take so long?

State Transition Testing: Diagrams, Tables & Examples

Feb 12, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
Ever seen a workflow pass QA, then fail the moment users retry, refresh, or hit a timeout? That gap usually isn’t about a “wrong input.” It’s often because the system is in a different state when the same input arrives. In state transition in software testing, the state decides what’s allowed, what must be blocked, and what should happen next. It is one of the simplest ways to make these workflows behave predictably in the real world.

Silent Failures: Why AI Code Breaks in Production

Feb 11, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
You ship a small “safe” change on Friday. The diff is tiny, the tests are green, and the AI assistant was confident. An hour after deploy, your on-call channel lights up. A downstream service is rejecting responses that look fine in code review. Now you’re rolling back and rewriting a fix that should have been obvious if you had real traffic in the loop. This isn’t a hypothetical.

What AI Has Never Seen: The Context Gap in Code Generation

Feb 11, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
Your AI coding assistant has read the entire internet. It knows every programming language, every framework, every best practice documented in Stack Overflow answers and GitHub repositories. It can generate a REST API handler in seconds that looks perfect with clean code, proper error handling, following all the patterns. But here's what it's never seen: your production traffic. Data from a real API request. Someone filling out a form with messed up or incomplete data. AI is changing how we write and test code, but there's a fundamental gap between training data and production reality.
