CrossCountry says its "key priority" is now restoring as close to a normal service as possible.
An argument against the intensive use of AI in development is appearing more and more often, and it could be paraphrased like this: "the more code agents generate, the further developers move away from the codebase they are supposed to understand and maintain." And the argument is not without merit...

The 1-minute fix that slashed my API response time by 40%. We all know @Transactional makes database work easy. But are you using it correctly? Here is a mistake I see in 8 out of 10 code reviews: ❌ The Anti-Pattern: @Service public class OrderService { @Transactional public...
Follow-up to the storm post — same engine, two new systems, and a number I didn't expect. The experiment Same blind mountain pass. Same pincer maneuver. Four doctrines, 80 seeded runs each, one question: how much does knowing where the enemy is actually matter, compared to just guessing well? doc...
There was a period when I felt like I was making progress as a developer.I was watching tutorials. Taking courses. Learning new concepts. Saving resources. Watching someone build something and thinking, “Okay, I understand this now.” Then I would move on to the next thing. HTML? Done. CSS? I underst...
Bring-your-own-key, not another subscription Every few months another "all AI models in one place" product shows up, and almost all of them work the same way: you pay them a subscription, and they resell access to Claude, GPT-4, Gemini and friends at a markup. That's a reasonable business...
The social media posts have prompted police forces in Ireland and the UK to issue statements that the images are fake.
Originally published on michael-kaminski.io. The Genome of Games publishes the same 1,180 records four different ways, and one command writes all four: node build.js, 0.39 seconds, zero npm dependencies. Out come 1,245 static HTML pages for crawlers, an interactive canvas graph for humans, a 129,0...
One thing I have been thinking about a lot recently is how AI is changing not only the way we write code, but also some of the engineering processes we have built around software development. One of the most interesting ones, in my opinion, is Code Review. For a long time, Code Review was never ju...
Building AI Agents with frameworks like CrewAI or LangChain often hits a bottleneck: heavy, slow web scraping that bloats context windows and increases LLM token costs. To solve this, I built Smart Scraper M2M — a lightweight, high-performance web scraper API designed specifically for machine-to-ma...
Hawk fire has covered more than 10,500 acres as blaze approaches University of Nevada campus in RenoA fast-moving Nevada wildfire exploded to more than 10,500 acres (4,200 hectares) early on Sunday, pushing from the Sierra foothills toward the center of Reno and forcing nearly 14,000 homes to evacua...
Engineers who only understand the technology, and never the business it serves, hit a ceiling early. The best ones develop commercial awareness — a real sense of how value is created, funded, and sold. Two days at 21BY72 Season 4, one of Bharat's leading startup summits — eighty-five ventures on the...
A developer usually meets Mac power management through a simple need. A build, local server, download, or agent is still running, and idle sleep would interrupt it. The caffeinate command can be enough for that open lid case. Lid close is a different boundary. An idle sleep assertion does not mean...
If you invoice or onboard Polish companies, sooner or later you have to check two dull things that turn out to matter a lot: is this company actually a registered VAT payer, and is the bank account they gave you the one that's on the government's official white list ("Biała Lista")? Both of those af...
A mound of rubbish at a major waste site buried several homes in the capital, the government says.
A hackathon is a compression test for how you work. Everything you'd normally have weeks for gets squeezed into a window measured in hours — scoping, building, integrating, presenting — and what survives that compression tells you a lot about an engineer. Leading SYNTAX TERMINATOR to the top 12 of m...
Why I Built My Own Technical Blog Website I wanted a place to write about software engineering, projects I’m building, and things I learn along the way. There are plenty of existing blogging platforms, but building my own gave me something those platforms couldn’t: complete control....
A token allowance is usually treated as a spending budget, which is the wrong mental model for free tiers. The right model is a cache to be managed, because agent workloads repeat themselves far more than developers realize. A semantic cache that serves previous responses for rephrased requests can...
You turn on your PC. The manufacturer logo appears. Then the spinning circle of dots appears. And appears. And appears. Your PC keeps restarting — over and over — and never reaches the desktop. You might think: "Did my PC just die? Did I get hacked?" Maybe not. In early 2026, some Windows 1...
Originally published on tamiz.pro. You built a prototype. The model connected to the server, fetched a tool, and the loop closed perfectly. But when you pushed to production, the agents started hallucinating context, timing out on I/O, or ignoring constraints entirely. If this sounds familiar, the...
For about three months I have been running two AIs against each other on purpose. The setup first, because nothing below makes sense without it. I am one person with around a dozen software products. Almost all of the code is written by Claude Code, one session per project, each project a folder on...
Slack just made something that sounds a little weird feel surprisingly normal. On August 21, 2026, Slack announced Slack Code, a new way for teams to work with coding agents directly inside dedicated Slack channels. The idea is pretty simple: instead of constantly switching between Slack, your IDE...
A few months ago, if you'd asked me what a GPU actually does, I would've mumbled something about "graphics" and changed the subject. I'm an undergrad, self-taught in most of what I know about programming, and until recently, GPUs were just... background noise. Something gamers cared about. Something...
