Documenting code, one commit at a time.
Sometimes the smallest oversights can lead to significant issues. Recently, we encountered a problem where our newsletter digest wasn't being sent as expected. The culprit? An overly precise time comparison.
The original scheduling logic used an isDue() function that compared both the hour and minute. However, the scheduler was designed to run hourly,
Improving the accuracy and scope of technology detection is crucial for generating relevant and informative content. A recent update introduces rule-based technology detection, significantly expanding our ability to identify the technologies involved in code changes. This enhancement allows for more precise tagging and categorization of blog posts, benefiting both content creators and readers.
Our application now supports content negotiation to better serve AI agents and LLMs. We've added the ability to return Markdown instead of HTML when requests include the Accept: text/markdown header.
This enhancement allows AI agents to directly consume the raw Markdown content of our posts, simplifying parsing and improving efficiency.
Previously, our application served HTML
Maintaining a consistent URL structure is crucial for search engine optimization (SEO). Duplicate content, even with slight variations in the URL (like the presence or absence of "www"), can confuse search engines and dilute your website's ranking potential.
Search engines like Google treat example.com and `www.example.
Our primary focus this month was to enhance content discoverability for our users and improve overall site navigation. This involved creating new video blog (vlog) content, optimizing it for search engines, and ensuring it's easily accessible through our sitemap.
We've added six new vlog posts covering key features and improvements to
This update enriches the post details view by providing direct, clickable links to the author's publications on platforms like dev.to and LinkedIn. This enhancement aims to improve user experience by making it easier for readers to explore more content from the author.
The implementation involved modifying the post details template to include dynamic links.
Adding control over auto-publishing directly within a post generator form can significantly enhance user experience. This post details how we implemented per-generation toggles for platforms like LinkedIn and Dev.to, providing users with granular control over their content distribution.
Previously, auto-publishing settings were managed at the user preference level.
Code audits play a crucial role in maintaining the security and integrity of our application. However, overly strict rules can sometimes flag benign code as potentially problematic, especially in educational or illustrative examples. This post discusses a recent refinement to our audit process to reduce these false positives, focusing on common function names in example code.
We've recently refined our technology tag generation process within our internal systems. This enhancement focuses on ensuring that tags accurately reflect the technologies demonstrably present in the data, avoiding the inclusion of tangentially related or inferred technologies.
In the ongoing evolution of our application, we recently focused on enhancing user experience through clearer communication and more direct calls to action. This involved a rebranding effort across multiple locales, specifically targeting navigation elements and key conversion points.
Our initial design used terminology that, while familiar to the development team, wasn't
