Go’s been catching flak for years, and the hits keep coming: stiff variable scoping, no destructor patterns, clunky error handling, and brittle build directives. Critics point out how Go’s design often blocks best practices like RAII and makes devs contort logic just to clean up resources or manage ..

Bash isn't going anywhere. It's still the glue for CI/CD, cron jobs, and whatever janky monitoring stack someone duct-taped together at 2am. If automation runs the show, Bash is probably in the pit orchestra. It keeps things moving on Linux, old-school macOS (think pre-Catalina), and even WSL. Stil..

A dev ditched Electric + PGlite for a lean, browser-native sync setup built aroundWASM SQLite,JSON polling, andBroadcastChannel reactivity. It’s running inside a local-first notes app. Changes get logged with DB triggers. Sync state? Tracked by hand. Svelte stores update via lightweight polling, wi..

Overdoing “best practices” can kill momentum. Think endless tests, wall-to-wall docs, airtight CI, and coding rules rigid enough to snap. Sounds responsible—until it slows dev to a crawl. The piece argues for flipping that script. Start scrappy. Build fast. Save the polish for later. It’s how you d..

OpenAI Returns to Openness. The company droppedgpt-oss-20Bandgpt-oss-120B—its first open-weight LLMs since GPT-2. The models pack a modern stack:Mixture-of-Experts,Grouped Query Attention,Sliding Window Attention, andSwiGLU. They're also lean. Thanks toMXFP4 quantization, 20B runs on a 16GB consume..

DeepSeek R1 running on H100s puts input-token costs near$0.003 per million—while output tokens still punch in north of$3. That’s a 1,000x spread. So if a job leans heavy on input—think code linting or parsing big docs—those margins stay fat, even with cautious compute. System shift:This lop-sided ..

Most LLMs still play autocomplete sidekick. But seasoned devs? They get better results when the model reads and rewrites actual source files. That gap—between how LLMs are designed to work and how prosactuallyuse them—messes with survey data and muddies the picture on real gains in code quality and..

Agentic AI doesn’t just crank out content—it takes the wheel. Where GenAI reacts, Agentic AI plans, perceives, and acts. Think less autocomplete, more autonomous ops. Hook them together, and you get a full-stack brain: content creation, real-time decisions, adaptive workflows, all learning as they ..

A Weaviate engineer pulls back the curtain on two years of hard-earned lessons in vector search—breaking downBM25,embedding models,ANN algorithms, andRAG pipelines. The real story? Retrieval workflows keep moving—from keyword-heavy (sparse) toward embedding-driven (dense). Across IR use cases, the ..

Claude Code skips the multi-agent circus. One main loop. At most, one fork in the road. Everything runs through a flat message history, tracked by a tidy little to-do list. Over half its LLM calls? Outsourced to lighter, cheaper models likeclaude-3-5-haiku. Smart split: heavyweight reasoning when y..
