I Built the Resume-vs-JD Scorer Every ATS Uses — In 30 Lines of JavaScript

🌐 Live demo: https://dev48v.infy.uk/solve/day1-resume-jd-match.html Day 1 of SolveFromZero — pick a real hackathon problem, ship the working solution. Today's brief is a classic from Unstop: "Build a tool that scores a resume against a job description and surfaces the missing keywords." Every Applicant Tracking System (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, all of them) does some version of this before a human ever sees your resume. Most candidates have no idea their CV is competing in a 30-second word-ov

Why your landing page converts poorly, a developer's CRO checklist

If your landing page gets traffic but few signups, the cause is usually technical and fixable: it loads too slowly, the main content renders late, the call to action is weak, or the form asks for too much. You do not need more traffic to fix this. You need a faster, clearer page. Here is a practical checklist, written for the people who actually build the page. Marketers call this conversion rate optimization (CRO). For a developer, most of it is just good engineering: speed, clarity, and measur

We built a GitHub-style social layer inside our cloud IDE — here's why

Most IDEs are isolated by design. Your code lives in a workspace. Collaboration happens somewhere else. Discovery happens somewhere else. Building in public happens somewhere else. We wanted to change that. That's why we shipped Cloudpen Community. Cloudpen is a browser-based cloud IDE with built-in deployment and collaboration features. The Community layer sits on top of that and gives every developer a public presence tied directly to their work. What's included 🧑‍💻 Public profiles Every acc

The Oracle HA Decision Tree: RAC vs Data Guard vs Both

"We have RAC, so we're covered for DR." It's one of the most expensive sentences in Oracle operations, different failures, and the cost of confusing them is usually discovered at the worst possible time. This is the long version of how I think about the choice. We'll start where every good HA design Oracle 19c, the enterprise workhorse, with notes on where the newer releases — 23ai and the 26ai — change the picture. It's written from general industry practice and lab work — your The short versio

I Built My Own Analytics Platform Instead of Paying for PostHog

Introduction Let me clear one thing up right out of the gate: this is not a teardown of PostHog. In fact, PostHog is an incredible piece of software and one of the primary inspirations for my journey. But while grinding away on my own side projects, I kept hitting the exact same wall. I desperately wanted product analytics, system monitoring, and operational visibility, but I didn't want the cognitive overhead of managing four different platforms. I didn't want to copy-paste half a dozen diffe

NASA will wear high-tech Prada long johns to the Moon

We've seen Axiom Space and Prada's collaboration on the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit. Now the company has revealed the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) that astronauts will wear underneath it when Artemis IV returns humans to the Moon in 2028. The LCVG is the all-important base layer that will keep the crew cool and comfortable while inside the AxEMU and on spacewalks. Cold water is circulated through tubes embedded in the suit to whisk heat away from astrona
