It riffs off the **Eisenhower Matrix**, letting priorities shift with projects, not burn people out... read more

Users Only Care About 20% of Your Application

Modern apps burst with features most people never touch. Users stick to their favorite 20%. The rest? Frustration, bloat, ignored edge cases. Tools like **VS Code**, **Slack**, and **Notion** nail it by staying lean at the core and letting users stack what they need. Extensions, plug-ins, integrati.. read more

The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants

A July 2025 METR trial dropped a twist: seasoned devs using Cursor with Claude 3.5/3.7 moved **19% slower** - while thinking they were **20% faster**. Chalk it up to AI-induced confidence inflation. Faros AI tracked over **10,000 developers**. More AI didn’t mean more done. It meant more juggling, .. read more  

The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants
Grafana Mimir is an open-source distributed time-series database developed by Grafana Labs, designed to store and query Prometheus metrics at massive scale. It provides a horizontally scalable, multi-tenant, and highly available backend that enables organizations to run Prometheus monitoring with virtually unlimited retention and capacity.

Mimir is built for modern observability stacks, offering features like query sharding, data compaction, object storage integration (S3, GCS, Azure Blob), and efficient deduplication for high cardinality workloads. It’s compatible with the Prometheus remote_write and remote_read APIs, making it easy to integrate into existing Prometheus ecosystems.

As part of the Grafana open observability suite, Mimir can be deployed independently or alongside Loki (for logs) and Tempo (for traces) to build a complete, scalable observability platform.
