LinkedIn tore down its GenAI stack and rebuilt it for scale—with agents, not monoliths. The new setup leans on distributed, gRPC-powered systems. Central skill registry? Check. Message-driven orchestration? Yep. It’s all about pluggable parts that play nice together. They added sync and async modes.. read more  

Fastly says95% of developersspend extra time fixing AI-written code. Senior engineers take the brunt. That overhead has even spawned a new gig: “vibe code cleanup specialist.” (Yes, seriously.) As teams lean harder on AI tools, reliability and security start to slide—unless someone steps in. The re.. read more  

In the “Month of AI Bugs,” researchers poked deep and found prompt injection holes bad enough to run **arbitrary code** on major AI coding tools—**GitHub Copilot**, **Amazon Q**, and **AWS Kiro** all flinched. They didn’t stop at theory. They built **AgentHopper**, a proof-of-concept AI virus that .. read more  

Booking.com built Judge-LLM, a framework where strong LLMs evaluate other models against a carefully curated golden dataset. Clear metric definitions, rigorous annotation, and iterative prompt engineering make evaluations more scalable and consistent than relying solely on humans. **The takeaway**:.. read more  

PostgreSQL’s moving in on superusers. As of recent releases—starting way back in v9.6 and maturing through PostgreSQL 18 (coming 2025)—there are now **15+ built-in admin roles**. No need to hand out superuser just to get things done. These roles cover the ops spectrum: monitoring, backups, fil.. read more  

AI now writes over **25% of Google’s** and as much as **90% of Anthropic’s** code. That’s not a trend—it’s a regime change. Still, the mess in large public systems reminds us: clever analysis isn’t enough. Complex systems don’t behave; they misbehave. When the machines are churning out code, the .. read more  

The AWS Toolkit for VS Code now hooks straight into **LocalStack**. Run full end-to-end tests for **serverless workflows**—Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, the whole crew—without bouncing between tools or writing boilerplate. Just deploy to LocalStack from the IDE using the **AWS SAM CLI**. It feels like .. read more  

A barebonestime-sharing OS kernel, written inZig, running onRISC-V. It leans onOpenSBIfor console I/O and timer interrupts. Threads? Statically allocated, each running inuser mode (U-mode). The kernel stays insupervisor mode (S-mode), where it catchessystem callsandcontext switchesvia timer ticks. .. read more  

Flipkart ditched its creakyStatsD + InfluxDBstack for afederated Prometheussetup—built to handle 80M+ time-series metrics without choking. The move leaned intopull-based collection,PromQL's firepower, andhierarchical federationfor smarter aggregation and long-haul queries. Why it matters:Prometheus.. read more  

Stress tests on the Ryzen 9 5900X uncovered a big gap between **reported CPU utilization** and what the chip actually pushes. Around 50% on paper? Could mean close to full throttle in reality—thanks to sneaky behaviors from **SMT resource sharing** and **Turbo frequency scaling**. **Takeaway:** Raw.. read more
