Building Diffender: A Serverless AI Security Reviewer for GitHub Pull Requests with Amazon Bedrock

2026-07-13T20:55:30+00:00

A pull request can pass its tests, satisfy its acceptance criteria, and still expose a production credential in one line of code. Diffender is an Amazon Bedrock pull request reviewer built to identify that kind of risk before the change reaches the main branch. However, human review remains essential, and its depth can vary with workload, time pressure, and security experience. Meanwhile, deterministic scanners provide valuable coverage, although their findings are not always presented in a form that developers can immediately understand and act on. Diffender adds another layer to that review process. It is a serverless GitHub bot that [...]

AWS Certification Maintenance: Recertify Without an Exam

Many AWS-certified professionals face the same challenge every few years: preparing for another certification exam while balancing work, projects, and personal commitments. While certifications remain a valuable way to validate cloud expertise, the traditional recertification process can be time-consuming and stressful.

Through AWS Skill Builder, certification holders can complete curated training courses and hands-on labs that focus on current AWS technologies and real-world scenarios.

CI/CD Crash Course: From Junior to Senior Developer

2026-07-13T20:23:29+00:00

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD) is the backbone of modern software teams. It's not just a buzzword for your resume — it's the automated pipeline that takes code from "it works on my machine" to "it works in production, reliably, every time." Understanding CI/CD deeply, not just using it, is one of the clearest markers separating a junior developer from a senior one. The Basics: CI vs CD Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice of frequently merging code changes into a shared repository, where each merge automatically triggers a build and a suite of tests. The goal is to [...]

Everything You Need to Know About Harness Engineering

2026-07-13T20:21:29+00:00

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 and call five tools. It can make a hundred small decisions before it ever shows you a result. That is a different animal from a chatbot answering one question. In my experience following this shift, it also breaks the old playbook for controlling AI behavior. For a while, prompt engineering was the go-to answer. Write a clearer instruction, add a few examples, and the model behaves. That still works for single-turn [...]

Should the Philippines Make Its Own Local Large Language Model?

2026-07-08T05:21:18+00:00

  As countries all around the world are beginning to invest in their own large language models, the same question keeps coming up in Philippine tech circles: should the country build one, too? If we do, would it be cost-effective? And if it is, would it be beneficial? As an early-career professional, I have heard these questions before, whether we are talking about sovereignty, independence, or simply having something to be proud of. Some people in our industry keep asking that question, and more often than not, in that same instance, the reality of creating one always surfaces. First, it [...]

How to Balance Business Goals with User Needs in UI/UX: A Data-Driven Approach

2026-07-13T20:16:05+00:00

Ever designer eventually runs into the same challenge: balancing business goals with user needs in UI/UX. Users want fast, free, beautiful experiences with no friction anywhere, while the business wants high conversion rates, low hosting costs, and a fast time-to-market. These two wish lists are not always opposites, but they often pull in different directions, so "just build what users want" is rarely enough guidance on its own. Bridging that gap is not purely a design skill or a business skill; it lies at the intersection of both. A developer who understands the business value behind a feature, or a designer [...]

UI/UX Design: Speeding Up the Creative Process with AI

2026-07-13T20:17:29+00:00

If you have ever stared at a blank Figma canvas with a deadline looming, whether that is a thesis defense, a hackathon demo, or a personal app you finally want to ship. You already know that speed matters as much as polish. A traditional UI/UX workflow covers research, wireframing, high-fidelity mockups, and developer handoff, which can take weeks in a normal product cycle. Most people building on a deadline simply do not have weeks to spare. Students finishing a thesis MVP, hackathon participants racing the clock, and hobbyists building for fun on a weekend all share the same goal: getting [...]
