I attended with my daughter the Oracle4Girls event in the local computer science university today. We need more events like this. Huge thanks to all the volunteers who made it possible ❤️
I'm still not ready for that but I'm sure it's coming
Do you see value in unit tests/good coverage using agents? I see a lot of value in E2E tests (but it's still a challenge to write them), unit test written by agents seem a bit forced. The test is there because a human asked for it, not to prove that something works as it's supposed to work
Next, I did it with one in C, highly optimized. It required more work, the performance is similar... but I solved a concurrency bug in the C implementation antonmry.github.io/FastFiRSt/be...
Took a Python DNA sequencing utility and rewrote it in Rust. Outcome: ~50× faster than CPython and ~20× faster than PyPy… in one shot antonmry.github.io/FastFiRSt/be...
That makes sense, thank you for the clarification. It might be good to explain it in the webpage or change the name of the tiers.
BTW Great content, I really enjoyed the article about local semantic search and inspired me to do my own setup with candle for my PhD. Thanks!
Oh! It isn't available for students, is it? Only standard? I'm an officially a PhD student so I chose that one
I have signed up some days ago but I didn't receive the newsletter and I don't have access to the link. Is that correct? No problem at all if it is, I just wanted to double check in case something isn't working as expected
security theater is a huge waste of time in many places, it's hard to make it right
Code reviews are the new bottleneck and not a pleasant one. Pushing reviews toward LLMs, specs, and BDD seems sensible, but I still feel friction. It could be immature tooling, but I suspect there’s something deeper at play www.latent.space/p/reviews-dead
It was harder than expected but I've just migrated to @eurosky.social 🎉
Cool article about zero-cost abstractions, SIMD and full-text search query optimizations turbopuffer.com/blog/zero-cost
Same thing here. I've received the email 27 Feb and done the confirmation twice. No email received, spam is empty
Connecting my code agent harness to Discord turned out to be surprisingly effective. I can move between phone and terminal, track long-running tasks via notifications, and isolate projects in separate Discord channels github.com/antonmry/bre...
Shell autocompletion works great for this. "sdk use"<TAB> will show the installed JDKs
Engineers using LLMs to summarize design documents written by other engineers with LLMs. This is not the way. Today, more than ever, less is more.
It's also happening with Rust, it's pretty cool! bsky.app/profile/vect...
It's surprising how much Claude Opus 4.6 struggles with git rebases and merge conflicts
I’m moving away from cargo-release with git-cliff. Good tools, but the setup friction doesn’t quite fit my workflow.
Now testing: manual GH Action for releases and a bash script with `claude -p` to draft notes, quick pass in $EDITOR, publish with `gh`. Much simpler so far and better results.
Il est presque certain qu’ils sont en train de chercher un exemplaire de la deuxième édition de Designing Data-Intensive Applications maintenant qu’elle a été publiée 🤣

I’ve been experimenting with Spec-Driven Development lately, especially with Allium. I really like the simple approach it takes to keep the spec in sync with the code, and how naturally it fits into an adversarial testing loop juxt.github.io/allium/
Google and OpenAI are complaining too. A new Deepseek model is coming and they are nervous about it
I had the opportunity to work with OTAP Dataflow this week. It plays a role similar to parts of the OTel collector, but is built around Arrow’s columnar format with Rust components. I contributed support to persist telemetry to S3 in Parquet 👇

100% agree with strong-typed languages, it's a well known pattern with Rust and its compiler error messages. Not so sure about Clean Code principles: small methods and several levels of indirection don't particularly help code agents
We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's async/await on the GPU. This has never been done before.

Supporting Rust's async/await (and futures) enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming more ergonomic.
Most code agents feel like web apps trapped in a terminal. I wanted the opposite. “Get React out of my terminal: a case for headless mode” is about composable CLI workflows, not unnecessary TUI bloat.
TIL @grain.social, a photography-focused photo sharing platform using Atproto ❤️
An article about compilers and AI written by the original author of LLVM and has links to what he feels the vibe-coded compiler did right and wrong

bat was already in my list with ripgrep, eza, zellij, zoxide and a bunch of tooling for python and markdown. I use oil.nvim as a file explorer, but yazi seems great. Thank you!
