The standard case against freemium focuses on conversion rates. That's not where the damage happens. The damage is in how a free tier anchors your price before enterprise procurement teams ever join the call.
DPDP Rules 2025 are in force. Most guides target compliance officers. This one targets the engineer assigned the ticket: four code changes that cover every engineering obligation in the Act.
The 'AI wrapper' critique turned out to be mostly right, but for the wrong reason. Three years in, here's what the failure modes and surviving products actually have in common.
Most PKM systems fail at retrieval, not capture. Five years of second-brain hype, better tools, and the same abandonment pattern — here's what predicts whether a system actually sticks.
Pub/sub decouples services at the network layer while recoupling them at the schema and semantic layers. Three coupling modes explain why this happens and what prevents each one.
67% of enterprises say they've deployed LLMs. Fewer than 30% have systems that reliably perform in production. Here's what's actually shipping with local models and what got quietly abandoned.
Annual plans retain better than monthly ones — that part is true. But the 92% vs 68% gap contains two distinct effects, selection and lock-in, that imply opposite things about your product.
Boring technology isn't a consolation prize for teams that couldn't keep up with the AI wave. The case for it is stronger in 2026 than in 2020, and the reasons aren't the ones you'd expect.
LLM-as-a-judge is appealing: cheap, automatic, and scalable. It fails in three specific, predictable ways that only become visible once your eval scores stop correlating with what users are actually complaining about.
Most engineers today encounter the SSE vs WebSockets vs polling question through LLM streaming APIs, not stock tickers. This guide covers when each wins and the operational trade-offs comparison articles usually omit.
Most companies believe they have an engineering IC track for senior engineers. Most don't. Here are three signs your IC track is fake, and the structural changes that make it real.
Async replication means your replica always lags behind your primary. Most teams add replicas without auditing for four bug classes this creates: phantom 404s, stale list data, apparent reverts, and workflow failures.
