Day 1: Your Team’s Chat Is a Wiki Waiting to Happen — A New Kind of RAG

Why we built Beever Atlas — and why “distill first, retrieve second” works where vanilla RAG falls apart. Your team already documents everything — in chat. Beever Atlas distills those conversations into a wiki that the LLM can actually reason over. Across Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and Mattermost (More platforms will be integrated). 5-Day Beever Atlas Series — start here. This is Day 1 of a five-part deep dive into Beever Atlas — the open-source, wiki-first RAG system that turns your team

Building an AI Assistant Inside WordPress: Lessons Learned

Building an AI-powered assistant inside WordPress sounds straightforward at first. In practice, it raises a number of design, technical, and UX challenges that aren’t immediately obvious. Context Is Not Optional One of the earliest realisations was that generic AI responses are rarely useful. Without context, even accurate answers can feel disconnected from the user’s needs. the current admin screen post type or taxonomy visible interface elements The difference between contextual and non-

Rollback Chains: When Payment Fails, What Actually Happens

Rollback Chains: When Payment Fails, What Actually Happens In the previous post, I showed the orchestrator's state transition table. It knows which topic to publish on failure. But what happens on the receiving end? What does "rollback" actually look like in code? This post walks through three real failure scenarios in my saga system. Each one triggers a different rollback chain, and each service handles compensation differently. Every service implements two operations: the forward action and

Under the Hood: React 19's New Reconciler and Vue 3.5's Vapor Mode

After 18 months of RFC debates and 12,000+ commits across both frameworks, React 19’s re-engineered reconciler and Vue 3.5’s Vapor Mode represent the most significant virtual DOM (VDOM) architectural shifts in a decade—delivering up to 40% faster initial renders and 60% lower memory overhead for complex enterprise apps, according to our benchmark suite.

Build a playable 2D game in React — from zero to ~40 lines with CarverJS

Most game tutorials for web developers start with "install Unity" or "set up a canvas context." Both paths lead somewhere real — but if your game lives inside a React app, you want your game loop to compose with React state the same way everything else does. CarverJS is a React game engine built for that case. v0.0.1, APIs will move. But the core hooks are stable enough to build with today. Here is what a complete playable 2D game looks like from scratch. A player square that moves with WASD. Bo

War Story: Debugging a React Native 0.73 Navigation Bug for Our iOS and Android Apps

At 2:14 AM on a Tuesday, our React Native 0.73 production app crashed for 12% of iOS users and 9% of Android users in the span of 11 minutes, triggered by a navigation stack edge case in @react-navigation/native 6.1.2 that took 72 hours of round-the-clock debugging to resolve.

Why Your Landing Page Is Slow (And How to Fix It)

Originally published on adiss.dev Every second of delay costs you conversions. Google knows it, users feel it — and you're probably ignoring it. The most common causes of a slow landing page aren't complex. In 90% of cases, it comes down to three things: Unoptimized images that are too large JavaScript blocking rendering Fonts loading synchronously Each of these can add 2–4 seconds to your load time. If you're uploading a 4MB hero.png directly to your server, you've already lost the visitor befo

I Built a Neural Memory Layer for a Voice AI Assistant: Embeddings + Vector Search + Activity Neurons

My voice AI asked me for the third time whether Sylvie was my sister or my mother. That's when I understood what was missing in every voice assistant I'd shipped or used: persistence. Modern LLMs are smart, but each conversation starts from scratch. You explain who's who, what your constraints are, what your habits are. And tomorrow you do it all again. The intelligence is real, but it doesn't compound. So this week I shipped Memory in TAMSIV (my Android voice task manager, ~850 commits, solo de
