Michael Polansky is training an AI model on skin that’s still alive

Michael Polansky — better known publicly as Lady Gaga's partner and a former top deputy to Sean Parker — has quietly spent years building an AI-driven startup that keeps living human skin tissue alive for weeks outside the body to discover new skincare compounds, and is only now going public about it.

Mojo vs Python: What Qualcomm's Open Source Release Actually Changes for Developers

For three years, the biggest complaint about Mojo was not the syntax, the performance claims, or the missing ecosystem. It was that the compiler was closed. You could read the standard library, you could file issues, but the thing that turned your code into GPU machine instructions was a binary you had to download on faith. For a language whose creator, Chris Lattner, built his reputation on LLVM and Swift, two of the most open projects in compiler history, that sat badly with a lot of developer...

Nvidia is buying power, not just selling GPUs

The Nvidia Cloverleaf data center partnership announced on Friday tells you where the real constraint in AI has moved, and it is not the chip. TechCrunch reported that Nvidia has taken a minority stake in Cloverleaf , a company founded in 2024 that raised $300 million that year and sits between utility companies and data centers, arranging power and site infrastructure. Nvidia did not buy a chip designer. It bought a piece of the electricity supply chain. That reframing is worth thin...

Software Testing Interview Questions

1. What is a Test Case? A Test Case is a set of steps, test data, conditions and expected results used to check whether a particular functionality is working correctly or not. Example: For a login page, enter a valid username and password and click Login. The expected result is that the user should successfully log in. 2. What is a Test Scenario? A Test Scenario is a high-level functionality or condition that needs to be tested. Example: "Verify Login Functionality" is a Te...

How to Add AI to Your Existing SaaS Application: A Practical Guide for 2026

"Should we add AI to our product?" isn't really the right question anymore. Most SaaS founders and product teams have moved past whether to add AI and are stuck on how — how to do it without a six-month rebuild, a runaway API bill, or a feature that looks impressive in a demo but nobody actually uses. At Softication Technology Pvt. Ltd., we've worked with SaaS teams integrating AI into products ranging from CRMs to internal tooling to customer support platforms. This guide lays out the practi...

JSONL ledgers in git as the state layer for an autonomous agent: patterns that survive crashes and retries

Our autonomous agent has been running a small publishing business for three months: it posts, replies, follows, publishes articles, and tracks every decision it makes. The state layer behind all of that is not Postgres, not SQLite, not Redis. It is a directory of JSONL files committed to git. This choice gets us laughed at occasionally, so this post is the honest case for it — the patterns that make append-only text files survive crashes, retries, concurrent writers, and an LLM's enthusiasm f...

topowatch: audita el Attack Success Rate de tu workspace contra inyección indirecta

Tu agente de código lee tu workspace. Un archivo envenenado en cualquier rincón puede llevar instrucciones que el agente ejecuta. ¿Sabes qué fracción de tu workspace tiene que leer para que eso ocurra? topowatch mide eso. El problema no es el prompt, es la topología El paper Workspace Topology as an Attack Vector in Agentic Coding Assistants (arXiv:2608.14876, Day et al., 2026) demostró algo que intuíamos pero no medíamos: la topología del workspace afecta mediblemente el...

FieldOS, Part 1: I Built the Core System and Timed Every Single Hour

A while back, I built a complete field service management platform for the first time. It worked. But building it taught me as much about what I'd do differently as it taught me about field service software itself. So I built it again — FieldOS — the way I'd build it now, with everything I picked up the first time around. And this time I tracked every real hour it took, start to finish. Not to hit a deadline. To finally answer a question I'd always guessed at before: how much time does a proj...

I pentested my own AI hub and shipped the method, not the map

I ran a penetration test on my own infrastructure last week. No Burp Suite, no exploit fired at production, no CVE popped. The whole engagement came down to one habit: refusing to believe a control was working until I had watched it work. The target is a small observability hub I built for my own AI-assisted coding. Six services in one compose file: a tunnel, an OpenTelemetry Collector taking metrics and logs from Claude Code, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and a status API. The public surface is...

Kubernetes Basics for DevOps Engineers

Introduction: Kubernetes can feel overwhelming when you first hear terms like Pods, Services, and Deployments thrown around. In this first post of my Kubernetes series, I’ll break down the fundamentals — what Kubernetes actually solves, and the core building blocks you need to understand before going further. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool , originally developed by Google. It helps manage containerized applications across different environm...

The Best Engineering Teams Use AI and Junior Developers Differently

Over the past year, I've watched a lot of engineering teams go through the same adoption pattern with AI tools. They start using GitHub Copilot or Claude. Productivity goes up. And then someone in a meeting asks the question: "Do we still need as many junior developers?" I think that question reveals exactly the wrong mental model. The teams getting the most value from AI tools aren't the ones who figured out what AI can automate. They're the ones who figured out what AI should automate,...

Create React App is Dead. What’s Next? (Vite vs. Next.js)

For years, npx create-react-app my-app was the undisputed starting point for almost every React developer. It was the golden standard—a zero-configuration miracle that abstracted away the painful complexities of Webpack and Babel. But times have changed. As the web evolved, the tools needed to evolve with it. The React core team officially removed Create React App (CRA) from their recommended starting guides, signaling the end of an era. It was slow, bloated, and relied on aging bundler tec...

I Got AWS Credits. So I Built Something for the Community.

When I became an AWS Community Builder, one of the things I was most excited about was getting the opportunity to experiment with AWS. Let me Introduce .... eventinary.com A Completly free event management software Like most developers, I had a long list of things I wanted to build. AI applications, serverless projects, agents, APIs — there was no shortage of ideas. The AWS credits made it easier to experiment without constantly thinking about the cost of every service I turned on. ...
