Form objects for complex form handling

Form objects encapsulate form logic separate from models. I use form objects for multi-model forms, complex validations, or forms not directly mapping to models. Form objects include ActiveModel modules for validations and callbacks. They handle param

Incident response runbook and diagnostic scripts

Essential diagnostic commands and runbook procedures for production incidents. Quickly triage high CPU, memory leaks, disk full, and network issues with structured investigation scripts. Includes severity classification, escalation procedures, and pos

Incident response severity matrix and first hour checklist

The first hour of an incident should be structured enough that teams do not invent process under pressure. I keep severity definitions, communication paths, and containment priorities explicit. A good checklist reduces panic and preserves evidence at

CameraX for camera functionality

CameraX simplifies camera implementation with consistent behavior across devices. I bind use cases—Preview, ImageCapture, ImageAnalysis, VideoCapture—to lifecycle. ProcessCameraProvider manages camera instances. Preview displays viewfinder, ImageCaptu

Full-text search with PostgreSQL and tsvector

Full-text search finds documents matching text queries. PostgreSQL tsvector stores processed documents optimized for search. I use tsquery for search queries with operators—AND, OR, NOT. GIN indexes on tsvector columns enable fast search. Text search

Interactive Plotly figures for exploratory stakeholder reviews

Static plots are fine for papers, but product and business reviews often benefit from interactive filtering and hover details. I use Plotly when I need fast exploratory dashboards without spinning up a full app. It is especially useful for cohort anal

Data archival and retention strategies

Data archival moves old data to cheaper storage. I use partitioning for time-based archival. Detach old partitions, export to S3, drop table. Archive tables store historical data with reduced indexes. Understanding retention policies prevents runaway

Database security and access control

Database security protects data from unauthorized access. I use GRANT/REVOKE for permissions—SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. Role-based access control groups permissions. Row-level security filters data per user. Column-level security restricts sensit

Progressive Web Apps - service workers and offline support

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) combine web and native app features. I register service workers to intercept network requests and enable offline functionality. The service worker lifecycle includes install, activate, and fetch events. Cache API stores ass

PostgreSQL hardening with pg_hba and strict role separation

Database hardening starts with connection control and role hygiene. I separate app, migration, reporting, and admin roles so compromise impact is constrained. The default question is not what permissions are convenient, but which ones are actually nec

Recursive queries and hierarchical data with CTEs

Recursive CTEs traverse hierarchical data—org charts, category trees, graphs. I use WITH RECURSIVE for self-referential queries. Base case provides starting rows. Recursive case joins to previous iteration. Understanding termination prevents infinite

SQL window functions for feature extraction and behavioral ranking

A surprising amount of feature engineering is best done in SQL before Python ever runs. ROW_NUMBER, LAG, rolling windows, and partitioned aggregates are ideal for deriving customer behavior signals close to the source. I use SQL here when it reduces m
