You've got an app idea. You took it to a vibe coding platform and built it in a prompt. But once deployed, you notice that it doesn't actually remember things, such as user accounts and saved information. That's why backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platforms exist. They handle the complexity of user logi
Every AI provider comes with models of varying strengths. I'm a Claude stan because it just gets my writing style. But for some tasks, Claude's lineup doesn't cut it at all—when I need to process data at scale, for example, I might reach for Gemini. When I need a versatile generalist for classificat
I had a lawn mowing business for a summer growing up. My customers consisted mainly of my parents' friends and maybe a neighbor or two who felt charitable enough to let me defile their lawn. When someone needed their lawn cut, they typically told my parents, who told me, which I then wrote in a note

Microsoft Copilot Review: AI in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and More
Staying up to date on the latest AI models is like trying to keep my house vacuumed in the height of my dog's shedding season (a losing battle). New AI models drop practically every week, and it's not exactly obvious which ones deserve a spot in your workflows. This guide is your cheat sheet, with e
Long before Zapier hired me to write for them, I was already a power user. I loved tinkering with automations and watching tasks take care of themselves. But as much as I leaned on those workflows, I always wished they could not only do work for me but also make decisions along the way. For example,
