I spy

I've long argued that Hollywood has simultaneously set and ruined our expectations for smart glasses. But after binge-watching two seasons of Netflix's A Man on the Inside, this is perhaps the first time I've seen Hollywood, perhaps inadvertently, illustrate the biggest cultural problem with smart glasses as they stand today. In a nutshell, Ted Danson […]

However, two that are going independent, Double Fine and Compulsion, will get to keep their franchises and games catalogs, according to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. "Compulsion […]

Five questions for Dr. Rubin, who’s armed with a mic and a bowtie

Bullshit is cheap but truth is expensive. Anyone with half a brain cell can post wild misinformation that goes mega viral, which wastes the time and expertise of highly trained people who feel an obligation to inform others of the truth. Today I want you to meet one of those highly-trained people, Dr. Zachary Rubin, […]

America’s greatest idea is still under threat

The United States of America recently turned 250 years old. What a spectacle! The fireworks were amazing, and millions of proud people celebrated across the nation - even around the world. France lit up the Eiffel Tower; Japan had fireworks. French fighter jets flew above New York City with trails of red, white, and blue […]

The Engineering of Resilience: How "Desirable Difficulties" and Neurobiological Adaptation Build High-Velocity Founders

The research behind "desirable difficulties," stress inoculation, and why chronic adversity is not the founder advantage many people think it is. There is a story the startup world likes to tell about itself: the founders who succeed are the ones who had it hardest—that an early lack of money, connections, or a safety net forged something their more comfortable competitors simply don't have. Pieces of that story are genuinely supported by research on learning and stress. But it bundles toge...

What Is an MCP Server? A Plain-English Guide for Builders (2026)

If you've heard the term "MCP server" floating around AI Twitter, GitHub, or Discord and quietly googled it — you're not alone. As of mid-2026, even some frontier models don't fully recognize the term yet. Let's fix that. This is a plain-English explainer: what MCP is, what an MCP server does, and why it matters if you're building anything with AI agents. The 30-Second Version MCP stands for Model Context Protocol . It's an open standard (introduced by Anthropic in late 202...

Your Postgres already knows why it's slow — you just have to ask it

Keeping our database fast at Atlas was part of my job — alongside writing code and shipping features. And a big chunk of that job was unglamorous: chasing slow queries, figuring out why the system dragged, asking the same handful of questions over and over. Which indexes are we actually using? How many are just bloat? Are we vacuuming the tables that need it? Which table is quietly making every write more expensive? I'd written SQL to answer all of it. The queries worked fine. But running ...

Automating Flutter Android Releases to Google Play using GitHub Actions

Publishing a Flutter app manually is fine once. Doing it every time by downloading an .aab , opening Play Console, uploading it, checking versions, and creating releases manually is trash. It is slow, error-prone, and sooner or later you will upload the wrong build. In this article, I’ll document the complete end-to-end flow to publish a Flutter Android app to Google Play using GitHub Actions. Final Release Flow feature/* │ ▼ develop │ ▼ Flu...

GitHub Managed Settings vs Ota: Platform Governance vs Execution Governance

GitHub Managed Settings and Ota are not competing products. They govern different layers of software. GitHub Managed Settings governs repository configuration on GitHub. Ota governs how a repository is prepared, verified, and run. That distinction matters because modern repositories do not just need policy around branch protection, rulesets, and defaults. They also need a clear execution contract for developers, CI systems, automation, and AI agents. GitHub Managed Settings is p...

No pipeline, no oil spills

At some point in the last decade, shipping a web application started requiring a build step. Then a second one. Then a config file for the bundler, a config file for the CSS processor, a config file for the linter that runs before the bundler, and a CI definition that orchestrates all of them in the right order. Every one of those steps is a dependency. Every dependency has a version. Every version will, eventually, break something. When I started building Smeldr, I made a deliberate c...

Meteor 3.5 is out!

Meteor 3.5 is a broad release, and it earns the word. Its center of gravity is the reactive data layer (the part of your app that runs in production around the clock), but the work reaches from the database driver out to your auth middleware and the Node runtime underneath. Here is the map, and everything below is covered in detail further down. For the complete, line-by-line list of what shipped, see the full changelog . The headline is change streams by default: reactivity now works on man...

How Applicant Tracking Systems Actually Parse Your Resume (and How to Stop Getting Auto-Filtered)

If you've applied for a job in the last few years, a piece of software probably read your resume before a human did. Most mid-size and large companies run applications through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) — Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, Taleo, and friends — that ingests your file, turns it into structured data, and stores it in a database recruiters search. As developers, we tend to imagine the ATS as some mysterious gatekeeper with a secret scoring model. It's less magic than that. It'...

My Polymarket Trading Bot Strategy Across 11,717 Trades - 5m/15m/1h Framework Explained

Big Tech is spending $725 billion on AI this year. Who actually pays for it?

There is a number going around tech right now that I genuinely cannot fit in my head. Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta plan to spend somewhere around $725 billion on capital expenditure in 2026. Most of that is data centers, chips, and the power to run them. That figure is up roughly 77 percent from about $410 billion the year before, based on earnings figures compiled by the Financial Times. Read that again. It is not a plan for the decade. It is one year. I want to walk through wh...
