There’s a growing assumption in software engineering circles that GenAI will make traditional testing practices, and perhaps development, less relevant. Test-Driven Development has been on the chopping block for a while now. If a model can generate working code, scaffolding, and tests on demand, why insist on writing tests first?... [Read More]

Fusaka introduced the first meaningful evolution of Ethereum’s blob fee mechanics since Dencun. On the surface, nothing dramatic changed. Blobs still have their own fee market, with a base fee that adjusts based on supply and demand. But Fusaka added a second pricing constraint that alters how the effective blob... [Read More]

Centralised solutions, and the belief in them, come from a specific type of mindset. It’s the mindset that says: efficiency first, trust later. This mindset is creeping into Ethereum, and nowhere is it more visible than in the world of Layer 2 rollups and their sequencers. [Read More]

In software development, inversion of control (IoC) has been one of the most transformative architectural shifts for building loosely coupled, extensible software solutions. Instead of developers controlling the full execution flow, the framework orchestrates, and the developer plugs in local behaviour. This pattern shows up in dependency injection, event-driven programming,... [Read More]

Brandolini’s Law “the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it” is about to hit our codebases with a vengeance. [Read More]
