A seasoned dev takes a hard look at today’s messy full-stack reality: scattered tools, niche deep-dives, and burnout baked into the job. ButAI coding assistantsflipped the script. They help offload overhead, mimic pro-level workflows, and sanity-check the code. Now this dev moves across frontend and.. read more  

Kubernetes v1.35 is shifting gears. The newWorkload APIand earlygang schedulingsupport bring group-first thinking, schedule Pods as a unit, or not at all. They’ve thrown inopportunistic batchingtoo. It’s in Beta. It speeds up clusters juggling loads of identical Pods by skipping repeat feasibility c.. read more  

Bryan Cantrill says Kubernetes didn’t just organize containers, it cracked open the cloud market. By letting teams provision infrastructure without locking into provider APIs, it broke AWS’s first-mover grip. That shift putcloud neutralityon the table, and suddenly multi-cloud wasn’t just a buzzword.. read more  

K8s by Exampleis likeGo by Example, but for YAML and Kubernetes. It’s packed with annotated manifests that show real deployment, scaling, and self-healing patterns, stuff you'd actually use in prod... read more  

The official Kubernetes Dashboard has been deprecated. This reflects the shift in Kubernetes operations towards multi-cluster environments, GitOps workflows, and strict access controls. Modern Kubernetes environments require application-aware, RBAC-first operational tools that work across clusters a.. read more  

A small team rolled back their Kubernetes move after six months in the weeds. The setup tanked productivity, bloated infra costs, and turned simple deploys into a slog. They ditched it, brought back Docker Compose, and chopped deploy time from 45 minutes to 4. That one change freed up 60+ engineerin.. read more  

Starting 2026, Chinese companies are dominating the open AI model scene, with Qwen leading in adoption metrics. Despite the rise of new entrants like Z.ai, MiniMax, Kimi Moonshot, and others, Qwen's position seems secure. DeepSeek's large models are showing potential to compete with Qwen, but the Ch.. read more  

AWS spun up a serverless RAG-based support assistant usingAmazon BedrockandBedrock Knowledge Bases. It pulls in docs via a web crawler and S3, then stuffs embeddings intoAmazon OpenSearch Serverless. Access is role-aware, locked down withCognito. Everything spins up clean withAWS CDK... read more  

Authors discuss their approach to scaling generative recommendation models from O(1M) to O(1B) parameters for Netflix tasks, improving training stability, computational efficiency, and evaluation methodology. They address challenges in alignment, cold-start adaptation, and deployment, proposing syst.. read more  

A new way to build agents treats prompting ascontext navigation, steering the LLM through ideas like a pilot, not tossing it prompts and hoping for magic. It maps neatly onto Steven Johnson’s seven patterns of innovation. For coding agents to actually pull their weight, users need to bring more than.. read more
