Last weekend, my brother came home with a mission. He is a sailor, an officer on a massive oil tanker, and his job takes him on long voyages where expensive satellite internet makes Spotify a distant luxury. He relies on his trusty 120GB iPod Classic for his music library.

However, since his old Apple account was no longer accessible, many of his original purchases were silences in his library. We found his music on my old backup drives, but during the hasty transfer into his "Automatically Add to Music" folder, we created a digital mess. Hundreds of duplicates appeared overnight.

It is a common frustration that neither the old iTunes nor its newer version, Apple Music, offers an intuitive way to deal with hundreds of duplicate tracks. In the past, cleaning this up meant hours of manual work, song by song. It is a tedious, soul-crushing task that most people simply avoid.

Instead of wasting time on manual labor, we decided to solve it with code. What started as a simple CLI script a few days ago has now evolved into a fully functional, commercial grade macOS application: Duplicate Music Finder.

Built with SwiftUI, the tool identifies duplicates by looking at metadata, bitrates, and duration, ensuring that only the best version is kept and the rest are safely managed without messing up the library database.

My brother is heading back to sea now, his iPod restored and organized.

At our company, we love solving real world problems with digital solutions. If you have a task that feels repetitive or a tool you need built from scratch, whether it is a small script or a premium desktop app, we are open for new projects. Let us build something that makes your life easier.

I've been staring at these Lighthouse scores all week and I can't get over how dramatic the difference is.

We went from 2.7 seconds to first contentful paint down to 0.2 seconds. That's not a gradual improvement, that's the kind of change where you refresh the page and think something's broken because it loaded too fast.

The breakthrough came when we finally took the 14kb rule seriously. You know that magic number, the amount of data that fits in the initial TCP slow start window. Everything your users need to see should fit in those first 14 kilobytes, compressed. Sounds impossible until you actually try it.

We stripped out the bloated NGINX reverse proxy setup we'd been running forever. Turns out when you're serving mostly static content or simple dynamic pages, you don't need all that complexity. We switched to Caddy with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support built in, plus automatic compression. Python's built-in HTTP server would work just as well for a lot of use cases.

The beautiful part is how simple the stack became. No more wrestling with NGINX configs, no more proxy headers to debug, no more wondering why compression isn't working properly. Caddy just handles it all automatically. TLS certificates, compression, modern protocols. And for security, Cloudflare sits in front doing what it does best.

What really gets me is how we'd overcomplicated everything. We had this elaborate setup because that's what everyone does, right? Multiple layers, reverse proxies, complex configurations. But when you actually measure what matters, how fast your users can see your content, all that complexity was just getting in the way.

Three seconds doesn't sound like much until you actually count it out. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi. That's an eternity in internet time. That's long enough for someone to decide your site is broken and go somewhere else.

The fix wasn't about throwing more servers at the problem or upgrading to faster hardware. It was about understanding the fundamentals. Get your critical content under 14kb, use modern protocols, compress everything, and let Cloudflare handle the global distribution and security.

Your users don't care about your technical constraints or how sophisticated your infrastructure looks on a diagram. They don't care that you have Kubernetes clusters with thousands of lines of infrastructure code managing Docker containers across multiple cloud servers. They don't care about your horizontal scaling strategies or whether you can vertically scale your database instances. They just want your site to load fast and work well. Sometimes the best architecture is the simplest one that actually delivers on that promise, not the one that looks most impressive in your infrastructure repository.

I started work at 4:41 AM to clean up an endpoint. I thought it would take ten minutes and I'd be done before sunrise.

Cursor: "Say no more, boss! I'll make 100 changes for one API fix, no matter how many Cursor rules you create. My GPT-5 model can think of a million things to do while it's at it! Why fix one thing when we can refactor your entire existence?"

Result: The same API endpoint is now MORE broken, it has rewritten the entire component into what I can only describe as abstract art, and my Docker builds are lightning fast at failing. If I had done it myself with a tech stack from this century that I actually understand, it would have taken 20 minutes. But I decided to be a hipster and use the shiniest new framework, and now I'm stuck in this kafkaesque nightmare where my code looks like it was written by a caffeinated intern having an existential crisis.

No, AI is not saving anyone's day, it just solves problems at warp speed while birthing ten new demons in the process. I feel like Captain Picard confidently saying "engage" to Cursor, expecting it to solve everything, but instead of reaching our destination, we end up in some bizarre alternate dimension where nothing works and the laws of programming don't apply. Every command leads to a new predicament that would make the Enterprise crew look like they're having a relaxing vacation.

It's like having a really enthusiastic intern who's read every programming blog but has never actually written code. It's not collective intelligence; it's collective stupidity with a PhD and a superiority complex.

The difference is the same as someone spending their whole life mastering French cuisine versus someone who watched a 3-minute TikTok about croissants and now thinks they're Gordon Ramsay. Speaking of Gordon Ramsay, I want to start a show where I go into hipster companies with broken AI tooling and yell "THIS CODE IS RAW!" while fixing their productivity disasters. It'll be like Kitchen Nightmares but for developers who thought ChatGPT could replace actual engineering skills.

Or it's like someone spending their whole life writing a book versus someone with 20 minutes of reading on the subject yapping about it on YouTube. Insert your favourite guru here :D

Currently questioning all my life choices while my coffee gets cold and the sun mocks me through my window.

Rant over! Time to manually fix what the robot butler broke. It's 6 AM already.

I have started using WakaTime again to see what I do during my work hours. It keeps me productive. The reason, in the past few months, I have spent over 600 hours on this project and have little to show for it.

Have you ever wondered what it truly takes to bring a single vegetable from soil to your plate?

Most of my time is spent writing software, but here's the thing: "You can take the boy off the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the boy." This bell pepper took two months to grow from a seed to this plant. I don't have a farm where I live now, so these huge clay planters are what I use to grow some vegetables at home.

This little gardening project has given me a newfound appreciation for farmers and deep respect for the food we buy from the market and that is served on our plates. It should never be wasted.

Sometimes the most profound lessons don't come from lines of code, but from the patience required to nurture a single seed into sustenance. What unexpected hobbies have taught you valuable lessons about your work or life? Share in the comments below! 👇

Just burned through $1.47 in AI credits with only 3 questions. THREE!

My wallet: "Are you debugging code or buying a small country?"

GPT-5 is free right now with, but we ALL know that's about to change faster than JavaScript frameworks.

Soon asking AI to fix a semicolon will cost more than ordering takeout. And honestly? I'm not ready for that emotional rollercoaster. This is crazier than the expensive digital credits my son buys on Roblox.

Time to become a one-prompt coding wizard or start selling kidneys to fund my debugging habits 😂 But now, the sales would be based on the number of tokens?

Who else is preparing for the great AI bankruptcy of 2025? I believe pretty soon the businesses will start saying, "Build your AI app for $20 and not $200 in credits" :D

What's your take on the matter?
