Stop centralizing data and start collaborating. Senior developer Ahmad Wael explains why siloed models fail and how the Federated Learning Flower framework boosts accuracy from 65% to 96%. Learn the technical setup, from PyTorch integrations to message-based client-server coordination, and why this is the pragmatic choice for secure, scalable AI.
Learn how to build a Hand Gesture Mouse Control system in just 60 lines of Python. This guide uses OpenCV and MediaPipe to create a virtual interface, complete with a professional jitter-fix strategy. Ideal for accessibility projects and developers looking to refactor human-computer interaction models without expensive hardware.
Vibe coding—the practice of using AI to generate code via prompts—is skyrocketing productivity. However, it often leads to a technical debt hangover where developers lose ‘implementation intimacy’ with their own projects. Ahmad Wael explores why senior developers must maintain architectural ownership and vetting processes to avoid unmanageable codebases.
Stop letting legacy CSS debt slow down your WordPress site. Learn how a ReliCSS CSS Audit identifies outdated hacks, IE6 fossils, and vendor-prefixed property artifacts. Senior developer Ahmad Wael explains how to use these audits to prioritize refactoring and replace dated hacks with modern solutions like the CSS :has() selector.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are often significantly overparameterized in research settings. Senior developer Ahmad Wael critiques this trend, showing that for low-frequency PDEs like Burgers’ equation or hyperelasticity, networks can be reduced by up to 400x without losing accuracy. Learn to build leaner, more efficient ML architectures by starting small.
The Make WordPress team has released the official WordPress AI Guidelines to combat “AI slop” and ensure core contributions remain high-quality. These guidelines focus on five core principles: human responsibility, transparency in disclosure, GPLv2 licensing compatibility, and prioritizing maintainable code over automated volume. Learn why human oversight is still non-negotiable for WordPress developers.
Ahmad Wael analyzes the WordPress 6.9 ‘Gene’ retrospective, focusing on the shift toward global triage leads, the urgent need for release automation, and the success of contributor pairing. Learn why the ‘plumbing’ of the WordPress 6.9 release matters more for site stability than new block features for senior developers.
WordPress 6.9.1 RC1 is out to fix 49 bugs across Core and Gutenberg. From admin panel glitches to critical mail delivery failures, this maintenance release is essential for site stability. Senior developer Ahmad Wael breaks down the technical “gotchas” and shows you how to test the release safely using WP-CLI.
WordPress Core is proposing the removal of legacy 1024-bit certificates from its root bundle for version 7.0. As CentOS 7 hits EOL and NIST standards move toward 2048-bit minimums, this cleanup is essential for security. Senior dev Ahmad Wael explains why this legacy bloat is a liability for your modern WordPress site.
Ahmad Wael shares a senior developer’s perspective on using AI coding tools for developers. Learn how to map legacy codebases, modernize build stacks with Vite, and write robust tests without falling into the “slop machine” trap. Discover practical prompts and best practices for staying a responsible developer in an AI-driven world.
