Edited 02/2026: Over the time I wrote this around 7 years ago, things have really moved on. Now many low volume IoT solutions do ship from what's effectively Arduino, or similar. I was proven right and even native chains have all moved toward simplified builds with CMake and helpful starting points. PlatformIO is heavily used and productionizes Arduino builds. CLion by...
If you run you hosting on a Linux server, it normally comes out of the box pretty secure with few of the older less secure services enabled. On top of this, if you use a provider like AWS they further secure the server by their own custom firewall. I truly like Amazon Web Service and have used it for some time....

Having spent many years writing systems that need to communicate using differing protocols, often for exchange connectivity we are familiar with many topologies. In terms of multithreaded development we have built systems with low latency requirements using various...
Optimising a site has changed over the years, but the basic principles are the same. You want a site that lists well on search engines and more recently, generative AI. Some questions to start with: What content do you want you site to list for? In both AI and Google. Locally or globally? What social platforms do your users use? These...
