Everything You Need to Know About Harness Engineering
AI agents can now write code, browse the web, and run for hours without a human watching. Ask one to build a feature, and it might open ten files, call five tools, and make a hundred small decisions before it ever shows you a result. That's a different animal [...]
Should Philippines Make Its Own Local Large Language Model?
As countries all around the world are beginning to seriously invest in their own models, there is a growing debate on whether the country should create its own local large language model. If we do, would it be cost-effective? And if it is, would it be beneficial? As [...]
How to Balance Business Goals with User Needs in UI/UX: A Data-Driven Approach
The Tug-of-War Balancing business goals with user needs in UI/UX is a challenge every designer eventually runs into. Users want fast, free, and beautiful experiences with no friction anywhere. The business, meanwhile, wants high conversion rates, low hosting costs, and a fast time-to-market. These two wish lists are not always [...]
UI/UX Design: Speeding Up the Creative Process with AI
The Builder's Mindset If you have ever stared at a blank Figma canvas with a deadline looming — a thesis defense, a hackathon demo, or just a personal app idea you finally want to ship — you already know that speed matters as much as polish. A traditional UI/UX [...]
Agentjacking: How Fake Sentry Errors Hijack AI Coding Agents
AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex now do far more than autocomplete. They read source code, query observability platforms, open pull requests, and run terminal commands on developer machines. That expanded access is useful, but it also creates a problem most security teams have not accounted [...]
Build AI Apps Faster with Google AI Studio and Gemini
Artificial intelligence has become an essential part of modern software development. It helps developers build applications that understand natural language, generate content, analyze documents, write code, and automate complex tasks. While large language models (LLMs) make these features easier to use, integrating them into real applications still takes time. [...]
OpenRouter Explained: Access Multiple AI Models Through One API
The rapid advancement of generative AI has given developers access to an ever-growing collection of large language models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral AI, and xAI. Each model offers different strengths, whether in reasoning, code generation, content creation, multilingual support, or cost efficiency. While having [...]
Build Your Own JARVIS AI Chatbot Interface using Vercel
Have you ever watched Tony Stark boot up his suits and wished you had your very own J.A.R.V.I.S. to help you code, research, or just manage your day? If you are just starting out with web development, you have probably noticed that most AI chatbot tutorials look exactly the [...]
Can’t Use the Terminal, Can’t Defend the Network: The Importance of Cybersecurity Degrees in the Philippines
Can't Use the Terminal, Can't Defend the Network: The Importance of Cybersecurity Degrees in the Philippines Open a job posting for a Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst, a penetration tester, or a systems administrator anywhere in the world, and one requirement shows up again and again: comfort with the [...]

Blast Off to the Cloud! Celestial Supernova by AWS Student Builder Group Celestia

Celestial Supernova is a cloud event organized by AWS Student Builder Group Celestia from Parañaque last April 26. The event brought together students, builders, and tech professionals at White Cloak Technologies in Pasig City, with support from Tutorials Dojo. The goal of the event is to make cloud technology more accessible, practical, and approachable for students. Right from the start, the event's energy leaned toward hands-on learning, community support, and giving students a clearer [...]

Building an Ethical Hacking Lab to Practice Every OWASP Top 10 Vulnerability

As a computer science student majoring in Network and Information Security, I have researched so many ways that I can actually learn more about cybersecurity. More specifically? Hacking. With the power of the internet, I came across so many courses, websites, and applications from which I can utilize to gain more understanding. They're helpful, yes. But at some point, I just asked myself… What if I just stop reading, and actually start doing? [...]

Physical AI in 2026: Why Mechatronics Matters

Many learners and engineers who focus on cloud and AI still think of intelligence as something that exists only in data centers or large language models. In 2026, a major shift is happening. AI is stepping out of the digital world and into the physical one. This is called Physical AI, also known as Embodied AI. It combines powerful foundation models with real-world robotics and mechatronic systems. For the first time, AI does not [...]

A Beginner’s Guide to Small Language Models (SLMs)

What are Small Language Model (SLM)? We often hear about Large Language Models, but did you know that there’s a “smaller” version of it? In this article, we will talk about what a Small Language model is, their strengths and weaknesses, and its practical use cases. So, what really is a Small Language Model? At its core, an SLM is a lightweight language model designed specifically for task-specific, highly efficient inference. It is built [...]

The Reality of Learning Tech: Mental Health, Pressure, and Growth

Learning technology is often described as exciting. It offers new skills, new opportunities, and a clear path forward. However, mental health in tech is often overlooked. But for many people, that journey does not always feel that way. Over the past year, while trying to grow in tech, I have also been navigating personal mental health challenges. There were days when learning something new was not just about understanding concepts. It was about finding [...]

Amazon Quick Sight Sheet Tooltips: Enhancing Data Storytelling and Dashboard UX

Modern organizations use data visualization tools for critical decisions. Dashboards simplify complex datasets, turning millions of rows of raw data into digestible formats. Still, users often view a dashboard and feel they aren't seeing the whole picture. Dashboards often lack immediate context, resulting in a frustrating user experience. Analysts must constantly switch between views, tabs, and reports just to understand the insights. To solve this, AWS introduced Sheet Tooltips in Amazon Quick Sight, a [...]

Finsharc, a Newcomer Reshaping How We Think About Personal Finance

Finsharc is a personal finance application that is entering a very saturated place. As there are personal finance apps such as Money Manager that already solve the basics of expense tracking at a personal level, (things you buy day-to-day, such as lattes or groceries) budgeting for the future, and reporting with pie charts. Those things have already been solved. But most of these traditional applications are stable, yet entirely rigid. Finsharc, which is a [...]

Google Lyria 3: Free AI Music in Gemini

Google quietly rolled out Lyria 3 inside Gemini, and it lets anyone generate 30-second music tracks from a text prompt, complete with vocals, lyrics, and instrumentals. It's free, it's surprisingly good, and most people don't even know it's there. I spent an afternoon messing around with it. Here's how it works and where it starts to fall apart. What Is Lyria 3? Lyria 3 is Google DeepMind's music generation model. It lives inside the [...]

AWS Data and AI Journey: Data Governance and Security

Stage 3 of the AWS Data and AI Journey: Data Governance and Security As organizations establish a modern data foundation (Stage 1) and enable seamless data movement (Stage 2), the next critical step is ensuring that data remains trusted, secure, and compliant across the entire ecosystem. At this stage, data is no longer confined to a single platform. It flows across cloud services, SaaS applications, analytics environments, and AI systems. Without strong governance and [...]

Claude Mythos Explained, is it an AI Breakthrough or Overhyped Cybersecurity Threat?

The announcement of Claude Mythos stirred the community towards the advancement of large language models and their application within the domain of cybersecurity. For more than two decades, the investigation and discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities have rested upon cybersecurity teams and researchers. However, the announcement of Claude Mythos, by Anthropic is claimed to be capable of autonomously identifying and weaponizing these security vulnerabilities at scale, This signals a potential shift in balance between offensive [...]
