Hey everyone, Pat Reeves here, back on botsec.net. It’s March 20, 2026, and I’ve been wrestling with something that keeps me up at night, especially with the way bots are evolving. Forget your basic DDoS. We’re talking about a much more insidious threat: bots that masquerade as legitimate users, not just for a moment, but
Token Management Checklist: 12 Things Before Going to Production
I’ve seen 3 production deployments totally flop this month. All 3 made the same 5 mistakes, and it’s shocking how often straightforward oversights cause chaos in token management. To prevent your hard work from going down the drain, here’s a solid token management checklist that can
How to Implement Caching with vLLM: Step by Step
We’re going to implement caching in vLLM, which has 73,732 stars on GitHub, and believe me, this matters because effective caching can drastically reduce response times and resource consumption in applications that utilize large language models.
Prerequisites
After evaluating Autogen Studio pricing, I can confidently say it looks deceptively appealing but can become a financial black hole.
If you’re like me—spending hours coding and debugging in the trenches—you know that the costs associated with a platform can often blindside you. I decided to put Autogen Studio through its paces over the last
DSPy vs Haystack: Which One for Side Projects?
DSPy barely registers a blip on the GitHub radar compared to Haystack, but stars alone don’t tell the whole story. When you’re hacking on side projects, the question isn’t who’s got the flashiest metrics—it’s what gets your dirty prototype running fast, easy, and with minimal headaches. So,
LangGraph vs DSPy: Which One for Side Projects
LangChain has 130,068 GitHub stars. DSPy has 32,930 stars. But stars don’t ship features. As a developer who’s been around the block a few times, I’ve seen countless frameworks and tools come and go. You can’t just take a tool at face value based on popularity alone.
After one year with Autogen Studio 2026: it’s decent for small projects, but you’ll run into headaches when scaling up.
Autogen Studio emerged as a promising contender in the no-code space, and I’ve spent the last year pushing its limits. I primarily used it for developing internal tools for a mid-sized startup, with teams ranging
Hey everyone, Pat Reeves here, back on botsec.net. Today, I want to talk about something that’s been keeping me up a bit lately, and it’s not the usual late-night coffee jitters. It’s the quiet hum of bots, not the good kind, and the sheer audacity of how some attackers are getting their hooks in. Specifically,
Prompt injection is the top threat to AI apps. Learn layered defenses, code patterns, and deployment practices to ship LLMs safely.
Hey everyone, Pat Reeves here, dropping in from botsec.net. Hope you’re all having a decent week, and more importantly, that your bots are behaving and not causing any… unexpected incidents. It’s March 18th, 2026, and honestly, every day feels like a new frontier in bot security. Just last week, I nearly tore my hair out
