Ideas from practice
Articles by Dmytro Nasyrov
Instant Payments Sanctions Screening
Article 5d did not ban sanctions screening on the instant rail. It moved the object of the screening from the transaction to the customer base, prohibited one specific check in one specific window between two specific parties and carved out three categories expressly. This walks the pre-2025 screening stack component by component and states, for each one, what replaces it and which control it was carrying.
Neobanks on Stablecoin Rails: Architecture and Compliance
How to build a neobank that settles on stablecoin rails: the reference architecture layer by layer, industry build-cost estimates from lean MVP to licensed bank with realistic timelines and the licensing paths that keep the product compliant under MiCA and the GENIUS Act.
State of QA and Software Testing 2026: What Industry Data Tells Us About Automation, AI Testing and Quality Cost
A public-data synthesis of test automation adoption, AI in testing, shift-left practice, quality cost of defects and QA team topology in 2026, drawn from the World Quality Report, GitLab, JetBrains, State of Testing, Stack Overflow and CISQ research.
CRA Incident Reporting Deadlines
The EU Cyber Resilience Act's Article 14 sets up two separate reporting duties, not one sequence: an actively exploited vulnerability and a severe incident share the same 24-hour and 72-hour stages but diverge at the final report deadline. Filing there does not satisfy the separate duty to inform affected users.
Fixed Price vs Time and Materials
Fixed price vs time and materials explained for founders: why 81% of development companies prefer T&M, the hidden risk premium inside a fixed bid and how to read a quote before you sign.
