Design Systems for Developers: How to Code With UX in Mind

Modern product development demands more than clean code. It requires consistency, usability, and scalability — qualities that stem from great design as much as great engineering. Design systems bridge that gap, creating a shared language between designers and developers. For developers, understanding and applying design system principles means building interfaces that not only work but feel right. This article explores how developers can use design systems to enhance both the user experience (UX) and their own coding efficiency, turning visual rules into reusable, maintainable code components.

Best Linux Setups for Remote AI Development Environments

Remote AI development has become the norm for teams building, training, and deploying machine learning models across distributed infrastructures. Whether you are fine-tuning large language models, building inference APIs, or automating MLOps pipelines, the environment you use matters. A well-configured Linux setup can drastically improve performance, stability, and developer productivity. This article explores the best Linux distributions, configurations, and tools for creating efficient remote AI development environments. It covers both workstation-level setups and cloud-hosted environments suitable for deep learning, model experimentation, and collaborative projects.

AI Browsers Without New Behaviors Are Just Chrome With Lipstick

Lately, I've been watching with curiosity, interest, and maybe a pinch of disappointment, the rise of AI-enhanced browsers like Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, Edge Copilot, and Dia. They present themselves as radical innovations, but my personal feeling is that, under the hood, they remain the same old browsers with an AI plugin.

AI for Code Security Analysis

As software complexity increases, so does the risk of vulnerabilities hidden deep within codebases. Traditional manual reviews are no longer enough to keep pace with the rapid development cycles of modern engineering teams. Artificial intelligence (AI) for code security analysis is reshaping how organizations detect, prioritize, and fix potential threats before they reach production.

Tiling Systems: The Hidden Productivity Multiplier for Developers

In modern software development, productivity is defined not only by code quality but also by how efficiently engineers use their time and workspace. One often overlooked productivity enhancer is the tiling window manager, or tiling system. These systems organize application windows automatically, helping developers eliminate distractions, minimize context switching, and optimize every inch of screen real estate. This article explores how tiling systems boost developer focus and workflow speed, why they’re increasingly popular among full-stack and DevOps engineers, and how to choose the right setup for your workflow.
