To all software engineers: if you’re not learning agentic workflows, you’re falling behind fast! Not learning agentic workflows in 2025 as a software engineer is like refusing to learn Git in 2010. The landscape is shifting rapidly, and those who adapt will thrive while others struggle to keep up. Agentic workflows aren’t just a trend-they’re becoming the new standard for efficient software development. Exciting Agentic Frameworks and Tools You Should Explore Here are some cutting-edge tools that are revolutionizing how we write code: ...

The best way to learn how to ship software effectively is to study companies that do it well. Let’s pull back the curtain on how real engineering organizations get products out the door. Stripe: The API-First Approach Stripe treats every internal system as if it were a public API. This isn’t just about documentation-it’s a fundamental way of thinking about dependencies. %%{init: {'theme':'dark', 'themeVariables': {'primaryTextColor':'#e5e7eb','secondaryTextColor':'#e5e7eb','tertiaryTextColor':'#e5e7eb','textColor':'#e5e7eb','nodeTextColor':'#e5e7eb','edgeLabelText':'#e5e7eb','clusterTextColor':'#e5e7eb','actorTextColor':'#e5e7eb'}}}%% graph TB A[Payment API Team] -->|Treats as External| B[Internal Risk Engine] C[Billing Team] -->|Treats as External| B D[Checkout Team] -->|Treats as External| B B -->|Strict Versioning| E[Breaking Changes = Major Version] B -->|SLA Commitments| F[99.99% Uptime Promise] What This Looks Like in Practice: ...

Shortly after turning 30, I realized “temporary is a mirage, we should only invest in what lasts!” Temporary emotions, people, titles, or wins can spark fast and burn faster. They demand our energy, hijack our focus, and sometimes even dictate our decisions. But they’re not built to last. Don’t invest permanent energy into passing storms. Instead, invest in what endures: Character. The foundation of who you are remains long after the applause fades. ...

Two companies. Same revenue. $10M ARR. Company A - Traditional SaaS: 100 customers paying $100K/year Churn: 5% annually Growth: 20% YoY Valuation: $50M (5x revenue) Company B - SaaS with Expansion: 100 customers started at $50K/year Churn: 5% annually (same as Company A) But… existing customers now paying average $120K Net Revenue Retention: 120% Growth: 35% YoY Valuation: $200M (20x revenue) Same starting point. Same number of customers. Same churn rate. ...

The first two collections explored physical mysteries and phenomena where physics meets wonder. This final collection examines life itself-organisms doing things that seem to violate the possible. These are events where biology reveals capabilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about living things. June 2012: Underwater Crop Circles-The Pufferfish Artist Location: Ocean floor off the coast of Japan (Amami Ōshima) The Discovery: Divers discovered intricate circular patterns on the sandy ocean floor at depths of 10-25 meters. The patterns were geometric, symmetrical, and beautiful-roughly 2 meters in diameter with radiating ridges and valleys. ...

The first collection revealed nature’s greatest puzzles. This second collection explores phenomena where our understanding of physics seems to break down-or where nature reveals capabilities that seem impossible. These are events where the boundary between explained and unexplained becomes beautifully blurred. January 1996: The Sailing Stones of Death Valley Location: Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, California The Event (Ongoing): Rocks weighing up to 700 pounds move across a dry lakebed, leaving trails hundreds of meters long behind them. ...

Nature has always been humanity’s greatest puzzle book. Some pages we’ve decoded brilliantly. Others remain tantalizingly blank. This is a collection of events-moments when nature revealed something extraordinary, whether we understood it or not. March 1968: The Bloop Mystery Begins Location: Pacific Ocean, coordinates undisclosed The Event: Ultra-low frequency underwater sound detected. Researchers called it “The Bloop.” The sound was loud enough to be detected by sensors over 5,000 kilometers apart. Its frequency pattern didn’t match any known marine animal, submarine, or geological event. ...

WhatsApp acquisition by Facebook: $19 billion. Everyone thought Zuckerberg overpaid. The numbers at the time: 55 employees $20M annual revenue Minimal profits $345 million per employee $40 per user The critics calculated: $$ \text{Revenue Multiple} = \frac{$19B}{$20M} = 950x $$ “Insane valuation! Facebook wasted billions!” But Zuckerberg saw different numbers: 450M daily active users (growing 20% annually) Network effects getting stronger WhatsApp replacing SMS globally Engagement higher than Facebook Messenger He calculated the NPV (Net Present Value) differently: ...

Linus lives in a tent. The town mostly ignores him, some pity him, a few are cruel to him. When you befriend him and offer him a place to stay-a warm house, stability, acceptance-he says no. Because living in the tent is his choice. And in that moment, the narrative does something radical: it respects his decision. This is the art of writing outcasts and misfits: understanding the difference between voluntary and involuntary isolation, honoring autonomy, and recognizing that “fixing” someone can be another form of erasure. ...

George is bitter. He’s in a wheelchair. He’s rude to almost everyone. He’s also been married to Evelyn for decades. He gardens. He watches TV. He softens, gradually, if you put in the effort. He’s not “the disabled old man.” He’s George. A person who happens to be elderly and uses a wheelchair. And the game gives him what media so rarely gives older characters: dignity, complexity, and ongoing life. ...
