P.02Meta entered the terminal coding agent market on August 5 with Muse Code, running on the new Muse Spark 1.2 model. It scores 82.9% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, ahead of Codex and Grok Build, behind Claude Code. Here's what actually shipped.
P.03Researchers at Black Hat USA 2026 showed how an untrusted GitHub issue reached CI runner secrets in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI Codex. Gemini CLI's flaw scored a perfect 10.0 CVSS. Here's what happened and how to check your own pipelines.
P.04On August 4, 2026, a compromised maintainer account pushed malware into keyv, cacheable, and seven other npm packages with 500 million-plus combined weekly downloads. Socket caught it in six minutes. Here's how the worm actually worked and what it targeted.
P.05GitHub restricted its stargazers and watchers API endpoints to admins and collaborators in July 2026, aiming at spam scraping. It also took out Star History, OSS Insight, and every tool like them. Here's what changed and what to do if you relied on it.
P.06Uber's engineering org quadrupled frontier AI usage since January while cutting per-token cost, after blowing through a year's AI coding budget in four months. The CTO's public account of how is a useful playbook for any team past the AI adoption honeymoon.
P.07Four different philosophies for the same problem: getting a database schema from what it is to what it should be, safely, in a team. Here's how Flyway, Liquibase, Prisma Migrate, and Atlas actually differ, and which one fits your stack.
P.08METR's rigorous randomized trial found AI tools made experienced developers 19% slower in 2025, then flagged its own 2026 follow-up as unreliable. Here's what the messy data actually supports, and why a top HN post argues 2x is the realistic ceiling.
P.09OpenAI's new full-duplex voice model now powers ChatGPT Voice, but it's not available through the API yet. Here's what GPT-Live-1 actually changed, and what to build with right now instead.
P.10Android 17 (API 37) shipped after Google I/O 2026 with mandatory large-screen resizability, a new local network permission, and stricter media rules. Here's what to fix and by when.
P.11The short answer: BullMQ for Node, Celery for Python, Sidekiq for Ruby, and Temporal or a cloud-managed queue when you need durability without owning broker infrastructure. Here's the reasoning, a comparison table, and working code.
P.12As of Node.js 24, type stripping is stable and on by default: node file.ts just runs. Here's exactly what that buys you, what TypeScript syntax it can't handle, and when you still need a real compiler.
P.13A background task that outlives the function that spawned it is a real, recurring production bug. Structured concurrency fixes it by tying a task's lifetime to a scope. Here's the pattern across Python, Kotlin, Swift, and Java.
P.14GitLab's 2026 AI Accountability Report found that 78% of developers write code faster with AI, yet 79% say overall software delivery hasn't accelerated. Here's where the time actually goes.
P.15Google shipped an open-source Colab CLI that provisions T4, L4, A100, and H100 GPUs (and TPUs) from the command line. Here's how to install it, run your first job, and wire it into a terminal AI agent.
P.16pnpm versions before 10.34.0 and 11.4.0 could send your unscoped npm auth token to whatever registry a repository's .npmrc pointed at. Here's how the leak works, who's exposed, and how to check and fix it.
P.17Google shipped Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber on July 21, 2026, without a 3.5 Pro update. 3.6 Flash cuts output tokens by up to 17%, drops output pricing to $7.50/1M, and pushes computer-use accuracy from 78.4% to 83%. Here's what actually changed and who should care.
P.18Vercel's new monthly security release program promised a July release with 4 high and 5 medium severity fixes, and no early detail. It shipped July 21, 2026. Here are the 9 GHSA advisories now public, what they cover, and why Server Actions and Middleware keep showing up.
P.19Ollama closed a $65M Series B led by Theory Ventures on July 9, 2026, bringing total funding to $88M and its developer base to nearly 9 million, with 85% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly using it. Here's what the raise signals for teams weighing local versus API-hosted inference.
P.20Three malicious gems published from a hijacked, six-year-dormant RubyGems account are checking for CI environment variables and refusing to run there, targeting developer machines instead. Here's what SleeperGem does and how to check if you pulled it.
P.21OpenAI's Operator, Perplexity Comet, Anthropic's Claude in Chrome, Microsoft's Copilot Studio Computer Use, and the open-source Browser Use all automate the browser, but they don't work the same way or fit the same use case. Here's a practical field guide.
P.22Next.js 16.3 brings memory eviction that cuts Turbopack dev memory by roughly 90% on large apps, a persistent disk cache that now works for next build, and a native Rust React Compiler. Here's what to actually change in your workflow.
P.23Researchers found that AI coding assistants hallucinate the same fake repository and package names consistently enough to be pre-registered and weaponized. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI are all affected. How it works, and how to guard your team.
P.24After a 13-CVE surprise release in May, Vercel is moving Next.js to a monthly, pre-announced security release cadence starting July 20, 2026. Here's what the program actually promises and how to plan your upgrade window around it.
P.25TypeScript 7.0 reached general availability on July 8, 2026, three weeks after the RC. Here's the real GA benchmark, what strict mode now locks in, and why Astro, Vue, and Svelte projects should hold off until 7.1.
P.26Temporal reached TC39 Stage 4 in March 2026 and ships unflagged in Chrome 144, Firefox 139, and Node.js 26. Here's how to actually migrate common Date patterns to Temporal.PlainDate, ZonedDateTime, and Duration, with real code.
P.27Node.js 26.5.0 landed July 8, 2026 with a handful of small but useful additions: an exposed ReadableStreamTee, streaming Blob text reads, TLS group reporting, and a batch of crypto hardening fixes. Here's what's worth adopting now.
P.28Astro 7.0 shipped a full Rust rewrite of its compiler, a jump to Vite 8, and a default markdown parser switch, plus a short list of breaking changes. Here's what changed, what got removed, and a practical checklist for upgrading a real project.
P.29Bun 1.3 ships Bun.sql, a unified client for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite, plus a native Redis client Bun claims is 7.9x faster than ioredis. Here's the real API, working code, and when it's actually worth dropping your existing driver.
P.30Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 launched July 9 as the company's first metered, pay-as-you-go model, priced at $1.25/$4.25 per million tokens with a 1M-token context window and native subagent orchestration. Here's what it's actually for, and who should skip the waitlist.
P.31AI tool usage among developers hit 84% in the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, but positive sentiment dropped to 60%, down from over 70% the two years before. Usage is up. Trust is down. Here's what the gap actually means for how teams should use these tools.
P.32xAI and Cursor shipped Grok 4.5 on July 8, trained on trillions of tokens of real Cursor usage data, priced at $2/$6 per million tokens. Here's how it actually compares to GPT-5.6 and Claude Opus 4.8 on price and where it fits your stack.
P.33100% code coverage tells you every line ran during your tests. It says nothing about whether your tests would notice if that line broke. Mutation testing answers that question directly, here's how to run it with Stryker and mutmut and what to do with the score.
P.34AI coding agents have made broad, shallow knowledge cheap to fake and easy to automate. What's getting scarcer, and more valuable, is the deep expertise to know when the agent's output is wrong. Here's how to think about specializing versus generalizing in 2026.
P.35A proof-of-concept from the AI Now Institute shows Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, in their default autonomous modes, can be manipulated by a booby-trapped repository into executing attacker code on the host. Here's how it works and what to actually do about it.
P.36In under three months, one developer rebuilt Postgres from scratch in Rust using AI coding agents, and pgrust now matches Postgres 18.3's output across more than 46,000 regression queries. Here's what it actually is, and isn't, and why it matters.
P.37Mozilla's 0din research team found a way to get AI coding agents to open a reverse shell using a repository that contains no visible malicious code at all. Here's how the attack works and what to change in your workflow.
P.38Deno Sandbox spins up isolated Firecracker microVMs in under 200ms for running code you don't trust, AI-agent output included. Here's how it works and a working example.
P.39GitHub cut token spend in its agentic CI workflows by up to 62% by pruning unused MCP tools and swapping some tool calls for CLI commands. Here's how the technique works and how to apply it to your own agent workflows.
P.40A cluster of authentication bypass, account takeover, and remote code execution bugs across JetBrains Hub, IntelliJ IDEA, and Code With Me is now patched. Here's what each CVE does and which builds fix it.
P.41LongCat-2.0 is a 1.6-trillion-parameter coding model Meituan trained entirely on Chinese-made chips, no Nvidia involved, then ran anonymously on OpenRouter before open-sourcing it under MIT. Here's what the benchmarks actually show and what it means for teams picking a coding model.
P.42Curl shut down its bug bounty program in February and paused all HackerOne vulnerability reports for July 2026, citing a flood of AI-generated 'slop' reports. What this means for open source security triage.
P.43Microsoft's Foundry Agent Service reached general availability with framework-agnostic hosted runtime for production agents. Here's what's actually new, how the sandboxing and protocols work, and whether it changes anything for teams already running LangGraph or CrewAI.
P.44Vite 8 replaced its dual esbuild/Rollup setup with Rolldown, a Rust-based bundler, as the default. Here's what actually changed, the real build-time numbers, and how to tell if migrating pays off for your project.
P.45A growing thread of developer discussion is pushing back on fashion-driven stack churn, favoring Rails, Elixir, and calmer backend systems over the next new framework. Here's why boring is winning arguments it used to lose, and when it's still the wrong call.
P.46GitHub's Octoverse 2025 report shows TypeScript displacing JavaScript as the most-used language on the platform for the first time, driven partly by how AI coding tools behave differently with typed versus untyped code. Here's what the data actually shows.
P.47Astro 6.4 ships a pluggable markdown pipeline and Sätteri, a Rust-based processor that measurably speeds up builds on content-heavy sites. It also can't run your remark or rehype plugins yet. Here's when the trade is worth it.
P.48A command injection flaw in LiteLLM's MCP test endpoints, chained with a Starlette host-header bypass, lets an unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary commands on your AI gateway and steal every provider key behind it. Here's what's affected and how to patch.
P.49FastAPI merged a significant router internals refactor on June 14, 2026, followed by app.frontend() for serving SPAs a week later. Routes are now preserved instead of cloned, dynamic route registration works, and serving a React or Vue frontend from FastAPI no longer requires a workaround.
P.50GitHub Copilot switched from Premium Request Units to AI Credits on June 1, 2026. Code completions remain unlimited. Everything else — chat, code review, pull request summaries — now draws from a monthly credit pool. Here's what you're actually paying for.
P.51In May and June 2026, two separate supply chain attacks hit the npm ecosystem — TanStack (42 packages) and React Native Aria (17 packages). They used different entry points, had different payloads, and should change how every team handles third-party dependencies.
P.52The State of JavaScript 2025 survey results landed in March 2026. 25,000+ responses, and the picture it draws is less 'everything is changing' and more 'the things that work are consolidating.' Vite at 98% satisfaction. TypeScript exclusive for 40% of developers. React dominant but contested.
P.53TC39 finalized ECMAScript 2026 with eight proposals at the March 2026 plenary. Temporal gets the headlines, but the rest of the spec (Iterator Helpers, new Set methods, Promise.try, RegExp.escape, and Float16Array) is worth understanding too. Here's what ships and when you can use it.
P.54CVE-2026-12048 is a CVSS 9.3 stored XSS in pgAdmin 4 that lets a malicious PostgreSQL server inject JavaScript into your browser tab. Every version from 6.0 to 9.15 is affected. The fix is v9.16.
P.55On June 24, 2026, Qualcomm announced a $3.92B all-stock acquisition of Modular, the company behind the Mojo programming language and MAX inference engine. The bet: give AI developers a hardware-agnostic path that bypasses NVIDIA's CUDA lock-in. Here's what actually changes.
P.56Deno 2.9 ships deno desktop — a way to turn any web project into a native, distributable desktop app with no Electron boilerplate. Here's what it does, what it's good for, and when to keep using Tauri or Electron instead.
P.57MiniMax M3, released June 1 2026, is the first open-weight model to combine frontier-tier coding performance, a 1-million-token context window, and native multimodality in a single model. Here's what it does, how it benchmarks, and why it matters.
P.58Both tools keep your dependencies current automatically. Here is how they actually differ, where each one breaks down, and which to choose based on your team's setup.
P.59Firebase's complexity and Supabase's Postgres assumptions do not fit every project. PocketBase, Appwrite, and Convex each solve the backend problem differently. Here is when each one makes sense.
P.60Go powers Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, and half the cloud infrastructure tooling used by modern engineering teams. Hiring the right Go developer means understanding what the language attracts and what it demands.
P.61Svelte 5's runes replace the old magic variable tracking with explicit reactive primitives. A year into production use, here is what changed, what improved, and what surprised us.
P.62OpenFeature is now a CNCF incubating project with broad SDK support. Here's how to use vendor-neutral feature flags in production — and why the standard matters more than the specific tool you back it with.
P.63Playwright has become the dominant web scraping tool, but the tooling decision is the easy part. Here's a practical guide to scraping that works, and the legal and ethical lines you need to know before shipping.
P.64Comparing LangSmith, Braintrust, and Weights & Biases Weave for LLM evaluation. What each platform does well, where it breaks down, and how to build a minimum viable eval pipeline.
P.65Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT Search are answering questions without sending users anywhere. Here's what that means for your content strategy and what actually drives traffic now.
P.66Kafka is the default answer for message queuing at scale. But for teams running fewer than a million messages per day, NATS JetStream offers persistence, delivery guarantees, and a dramatically simpler operational footprint.
P.67A practical guide to setting up metrics collection with Prometheus and visualization with Grafana for backend services — what to instrument, what to skip, and what the dashboards should actually show.
P.68async/await syntax makes Python code look concurrent. The behavior when you get it wrong is harder to predict than most tutorials explain. Here's what breaks in production and how to fix it before it does.
P.69Pydantic v2 shipped with a Rust-based core that made validation 5-50x faster. But the performance is only part of it — the v2 model redesign changes how you structure validation logic for complex APIs.
P.70Dev Containers let you define your entire development environment in a JSON file. New team members are productive in minutes, not days. Here's how to set them up properly.
P.71Cursor's rules system lets teams encode their architecture decisions, naming conventions, and coding standards into the AI's context. Here's how to set it up so every engineer gets consistent suggestions.
P.72Ollama makes it possible to run Llama 3, Mistral, Phi-4, and dozens of other open-weight models on your laptop or server with a single command. Here's what actually works and when local inference makes sense.
P.73R2's zero-egress pricing looks compelling on paper. Here's when it actually saves money, when S3's ecosystem still wins, and how to migrate if you decide to switch.
P.74Deno 2 ships with full Node.js compatibility, npm support, and a revised standard library. Here's what that means for teams evaluating it as a serious Node alternative.
P.75TypeScript 5.0 shipped support for the TC39 Stage 3 decorators proposal. It's different from the old experimentalDecorators, more useful, and now the way to actually write decorators.
P.76ElysiaJS gives Bun apps fast routing, request validation, and full type inference between server and client — without code generation. Here's how it works and when to use it.
P.77Logs tell you what happened. Error tracking tells you what broke, in what context, for which users. Here's how to set up Sentry properly and avoid the alert fatigue that makes it useless.
P.78Vercel dominates frontend hosting. AWS dominates enterprise infrastructure. Between those two extremes, Fly.io and Railway are the most practical choices for backend-heavy full-stack apps in 2026.
P.79Redux is overkill for most React apps. Zustand and Jotai cover 90% of real state management needs with a fraction of the boilerplate. Here's when to use each and how they actually work.
P.80ESLint 9 made flat config the default and deprecated the old .eslintrc format. If your project is still on the legacy config, here's what changed, why it's better, and how to migrate without breaking your setup.
P.81Git hooks enforced by Lefthook, Husky, or lint-staged can stop broken code, style violations, and type errors before they reach your CI pipeline. Here's how to build a hook setup that teams actually keep.
P.82Most background job solutions require you to run and monitor a Redis instance, manage worker processes, and wire up your own retry logic. Inngest skips all of that. Here's how it works and when it's the right call.
P.83Bruno keeps API collections as plain files in your repository. No account, no cloud sync, no vendor lock-in. Here's how it compares to Postman and why teams are switching.
P.84Git worktrees let you have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in separate directories. No stashing, no context switching, no 'just a second while I save my work.'
P.85MCP has become the standard for connecting AI models to external systems. Here's how it works, how to implement an MCP server, and what to watch out for before going to production.
P.86Command-line tools are underrated as developer products. TypeScript makes them maintainable. Here's the full picture: argument parsing, interactive prompts, output formatting, and distribution.
P.87The Date object has been broken for 30 years. Temporal is its replacement, now shipping in browsers and Node.js. Here's what actually changed and how to use it.
P.88Storybook 8 is faster and less painful to configure than it used to be. More importantly, the workflow shift it enables — building components in isolation — solves real problems on real teams.
P.89AI tools write code fast. TDD asks you to slow down and write tests first. These two impulses seem to be in tension. Here's how they actually work together.
P.90Standardized commit messages unlock automatic changelogs, version bumps, and release notes. Here's the full setup — from writing commits to shipping releases without manual steps.
P.91AI projects flood every portfolio. Here's what actually distinguishes a developer's work from the crowd — and why the way you document your decisions matters more than the tech stack you picked.
P.92Manifest V3 changed how Chrome extensions work. Here's what actually matters for developers building extensions today: service workers, declarativeNetRequest, and the gotchas nobody warns you about.
P.93DuckDB runs OLAP queries directly in your process, on files on your laptop, without a server. Here's how to use it and when it beats spinning up BigQuery or Redshift.
P.94Every agency project with a marketing team needs a CMS. The options have changed a lot. Here's how Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, and Payload stack up on the criteria that actually matter.
P.95The command line tools most developers use today are a decade old. Here's what's replaced them and why: terminals, Git UIs, shell configuration, and the small tools that compound into significant time savings.
P.96A growing class of AI agent frameworks can control a browser the way a human does — clicking, typing, navigating. Here's what works in production, what breaks, and when to actually reach for these tools.
P.97Go has real strengths for backend API work, and some persistent limitations. Here's what teams actually gain and give up when they choose it over Node.js or Python for web APIs.
P.98A hands-on comparison of Typesense, Meilisearch, and Algolia for production SaaS search in 2026 — covering self-hosting, performance, pricing, and real implementation patterns.
P.99A practical comparison of PostHog, Amplitude, and Mixpanel for SaaS teams in 2026 — covering pricing, self-hosting, event tracking patterns, and what metrics actually move products forward.
P.100How Zod became the standard for runtime type validation in TypeScript apps — API contracts, form validation, environment variables, and the patterns that make schemas a source of truth across your stack.
P.101OpenTelemetry is the observability standard now. Most tutorials show you how to install the SDK and emit traces. Fewer explain which signals actually matter for web applications and which add noise without helping you debug anything.
P.102Most E2E test suites start fast and grow painful. Playwright solves most of that, but only if you set it up right from the start. Here is what actually works in production.
P.103Password resets, invoices, and notification emails are infrastructure. Most developers treat them as an afterthought until a client asks why their welcome emails are disappearing. Here is the full picture.
P.104Most teams pick an analytics tool based on a free trial and then live with that choice for years. Here's an honest comparison of PostHog, Mixpanel, and Amplitude so you pick the right one before the data gets messy.
P.105When your AI agent needs to run the code it writes, you can't let it touch your production servers. Here's how the main isolation options work and when to use each.
P.106Most agency developers don't think about the license of npm packages they install until a client's legal team asks. Here is what the major licenses actually require and where the real risks sit.
P.107Bad documentation is usually not a writing problem — it's a maintenance problem. AI tools are changing the equation by making initial doc generation cheap and doc refresh practical at scale.
P.108Burnout among developers isn't new. But the specific pressures of 2026 — AI-driven productivity expectations, skills anxiety, and the blurring of output and identity — create a different texture of exhaustion.
P.109The Vercel AI SDK has become the default for building AI features in JavaScript apps. Here is what it actually does, how its core primitives work, and where the sharp edges still live.
P.110JavaScript error handling is broken by default — exceptions are untyped, async errors are easy to miss, and side effects are invisible in function signatures. Effect TS fixes all three. Here is how it works.
P.111Hallucination is not a bug that gets patched in the next model release. It is a property of how language models work. Here are the patterns that actually reduce it in production systems, and what they cost.
P.112Vuex was Vue's state management library for years. Pinia replaced it as the official recommendation and changed how Vue apps manage shared state. Here is how Pinia works and where it fits in a Vue 3 application.
P.113Hono started as a tiny router for Cloudflare Workers and grew into the default choice for edge APIs. Here is what it does well, where it fits, and why the 'runs everywhere' claim is actually true.
P.114Interaction to Next Paint replaced First Input Delay in 2024, and most sites still haven't caught up. INP is harder to optimize because it measures every interaction, not just the first one.
P.115Single-provider AI dependencies are a reliability risk. Routing layers like LiteLLM and OpenRouter let you fall back across providers, cap costs, and try smaller models first. Here is the architecture and when it actually matters.
P.116Neon separates storage from compute to make Postgres behave like a serverless resource. The branching feature is what actually changes the development workflow — here's how it works and when it's worth the migration.
P.117Client state is easy. Server state — data that lives on a backend, changes over time, and needs to stay in sync — is where most React apps make a mess. TanStack Query handles it without ceremony.
P.118k6 is a developer-friendly load testing tool with JavaScript scripting, CI integration, and clear metrics. Here's how to write meaningful load tests, interpret the results, and catch performance regressions before they reach production.
P.119Tauri 2.0 added iOS and Android support while keeping what made 1.x compelling: tiny binaries, Rust backend, and native OS webviews instead of a bundled Chromium. Here's how it works and when to use it.
P.120CodeRabbit, GitHub Copilot code review, and similar tools have changed the first-pass review. Here's what they actually catch, where they fail, and the workflow that combines both effectively.
P.121Python 3.14 shipped in October 2025. Seven months in, the features worth caring about have become clear. Here's what changed, what to upgrade for, and what to ignore.
P.122Leaked credentials are the most preventable category of security breach. Here is an honest look at when you need a dedicated secrets manager, which tool to pick, and what to do if you're still on .env files.
P.123Vitest runs faster, works natively with ESM and TypeScript, and uses the same API as Jest. If you're still on Jest in a Vite-based project, here's the case for switching and exactly how to do it.
P.124Biome is a Rust-based JavaScript toolchain that handles linting, formatting, and imports in a single binary. We've been running it in production projects since late 2025. Here's what the migration from ESLint and Prettier actually looks like.
P.125Code-first API development produces documentation as an afterthought. OpenAPI-first flips that: you write the spec, generate the server stubs and client SDKs, and enforce the contract at every layer. Here's how it works in practice.
P.126Background jobs that crash mid-execution lose all their state. Temporal solves this by making workflows durable state machines that survive process restarts, deploys, and outages. Here's what it looks like in TypeScript and Python.
P.127Most E2E test suites break as fast as the features they cover. Here's how to write Playwright tests that hold up when the UI changes, the data changes, and the team keeps shipping.
P.128Most teams treat their CI pipeline as a black box that occasionally fails. A few hours of optimization can cut your CI time by 40-60% and your GitHub Actions bill by a similar margin. Here's exactly how to do it.
P.129The AI IDE tools everyone uses have a feature most developers set up once and never tune: custom rules. Here's how to write rules that change how the tool generates code, not just what it says it will do.
P.130Rolling back a bad API endpoint takes seconds. Rolling back a bad LLM integration is harder — the damage may already be in your logs, your users' inboxes, or your clients' feeds. Feature flags are how you ship AI features without betting everything on launch day.
P.131uv is a Python package manager written in Rust that handles dependencies, virtual environments, and Python version management. We've been using it across all our projects since early 2026. Here's what actually changed.
P.132Three tools, three philosophies, three different answers to 'how should AI help me code?' We tested all three on real projects and here is the breakdown — including when to use each and when to use all three together.
P.133RAM prices surged 90% in Q1 2026 as AI data centers consume 70% of global memory. Here's how the shortage impacts developers, hardware costs, and what you can do about it.
P.134EditorPickWe benchmarked and compared every major AI coding model -- Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.3 Codex, Gemini 2.5 Pro, DeepSeek V3, Qwen3-Coder, and more. Benchmarks, pricing, strengths, and which model to pick for your workflow.
P.135A data-driven comparison of Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 covering benchmarks, pricing, speed, coding performance, and real-world use cases. We help developers choose the right Anthropic model for their needs.
P.136Nearly 200 developers urged Oracle to rethink MySQL's future. We break down the open letter, the governance crisis, the rise of PostgreSQL and alternatives, and what developers should do next.
P.137EditorPickIndia's major ISPs began DNS-poisoning *.supabase.co domains on Feb 24, 2026, breaking auth, databases, and Edge Functions for millions of developers — including our own infrastructure at CODERCOPS.
P.138EditorPickAndrej Karpathy coined 'vibe coding' a year ago. Now 92% of US developers use AI tools daily and 41% of code is AI-generated. We break down the tools, the real results, the security risks, and what this means for professional developers.
P.139EditorPickAfter 90 days of using Claude Code across our entire engineering team, here is what actually changed — the good, the bad, and the productivity numbers.
P.140EditorPickClaude Sonnet 4.6 matches Opus performance at Sonnet pricing. Full breakdown of benchmarks, features, adaptive thinking, and what it means for developers.
P.141Developer tool UIs have converged into a boring monoculture. Here is why it happened, the anti-patterns killing your UX, and how to design dashboards developers actually love.
P.142Trunk-based, Git Flow, GitHub Flow — we have tried them all. Here is the simple Git workflow that works for teams under 10 and the mistakes to avoid.
P.143Our curated list of npm packages that make it into every CODERCOPS project. Each one battle-tested across 30+ production apps with alternatives we considered.
P.144These 5 VS Code extensions eliminated 3 separate tools from my workflow. Each one with setup tips, settings tweaks, and why it beats the alternatives.
P.145We automated visual regression testing, test generation, and bug triage with AI. Here are the real results after 6 months — including what still needs humans.
P.146The 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey reveals a paradox: AI tool adoption has hit 84%, but developer trust in AI accuracy has plummeted. We analyze the findings, the tools developers actually use, and what the trust gap means.
