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..

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..

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 ..

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..

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 ..

A new reference rounds up the core ML equations—Bayes’ Theorem, cross-entropy, eigen decomposition, attention—and shows how they plug into real Python code using NumPy, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. It hits the big four: probability, linear algebra, optimization, and generative modeling. Stuff that..

AWS dropped theCloud Control API MCP Server, a mouthful of a name for a tool that makes 1,200+ AWS resources manageable through a standard CRUDL API—using natural language. Think: describe what you want, and tools like Amazon Q Developer turn it into actual infra code. It doesn’t stop there. It val..

AWS just dropped support for buildingserverless agentic AI systems. You’ll need the Strands Agents SDK, Bedrock AgentCore (preview), plus trusty tools like Lambda and ECS. What’s new? Agentic AI flips the script. Instead of dumb prompt-in, response-out bots, you getgoal-driven loopswith memory, too..

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 ..

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 ..
