Most software engineers I know use AI in some form now. Maybe it is for debugging, boilerplate, tests, docs, SQL queries, shell commands, or quick code reviews. Some use it daily. Some use it quietly. Even the skeptical ones have probably pasted a confusing stack trace into a chat window once. So I do not think the interesting question is: “Do engineers use AI?” The better question is: “Has AI changed how they engineer?” Because those are not the same thing. Using ...

The suggestion every RAG app ignores If you've shipped a retrieval-augmented assistant, you've written some version of this line in your system prompt: "If the answer isn't in the provided context, say you don't know. Do not make things up." And you've watched the model cheerfully ignore it under pressure. A confident-sounding question comes in, retrieval returns something adjacent , and the model stitches together an answer that's plausible, fluent, and wrong. Telling a language ...

Abstract In modern software engineering, writing code that simply "works" is only the first step. The real challenge lies in designing systems that are maintainable, scalable, and easy to test. This article explores the Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP), the final pillar of the SOLID design principles. Through a practical, real-world example in Kotlin, we will demonstrate how to transition from a tightly coupled architecture to an abstraction-based design. This shift dramatically improves ...

I grew up hearing it every day: "What will people say?" "Don't you feel ashamed?" "You'll ruin the family honor" So I stayed quiet. I wore what they approved. I became who they wanted. And I was alone in his house, in her world. Last night I posted my truth on DEV. I was terrified. "What will people say?" Then commented: "You are not alone, we are all with you" other comment: "Yes we are here for you". And it hit me: People are not happy anyway. So why live in fear of th...

Zero "quantum supremacy". Zero "agentic orchestration". Zero other hype. Just an approach to achieving an efficient quantum-assisted automation using 100% free open-source components (except for Azure).

Why not make a pixel art modifier so they become like terrain or game assets? And here is what I came up with. You build the pixel art as you wish. Then you modify it so it becomes a design.

AI search is no longer niche. Searcherries’ research shows that users increasingly rely on AI tools for discovery, while AI-generated answers often cite multiple sources and reshape how visibility works online. That makes AI visibility a real strategic concern, not just an SEO trend. Brands can no longer focus only on rankings and clicks; they also need to understand whether AI systems mention, cite, and trust their content. AI Visibility Tools are becoming relevant because they help measure pre...

Healthcare AI performance can't be measured reliably through aggregate metrics alone. Drawing on experience across multiple clinical specialties, this article argues that oncology, interventional cardiology, clinical pharmacy, and primary care each exhibit unique failure modes driven by evidence velocity, retrieval precision, interaction density, and cross-specialty complexity. The solution is specialty-aware architecture, retrieval, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks that surface failures be...

This article proposes BGP-CN, a congestion notification mechanism that uses BGP extended communities to distribute congestion information across leaf-spine data center fabrics. Rather than relying solely on local mechanisms such as ECN, PFC, and DCQCN, BGP-CN provides fabric-wide visibility, allowing switches to proactively adjust ECMP weights before congestion spreads. Prototype testing on a SONiC/FRR environment showed a 47% reduction in P99 tail latency and a 63% improvement in path utilizati...

AI music is already here, from generated tracks flooding platforms to tools that help musicians practise, write and produce. The real issue is not whether AI belongs in music, but whether it keeps humans visible, credited and in control, or quietly pushes them out of the frame.

SpaceX is buying Cursor for $60B, but the real target is distribution and compute, not the editor. That's the tell: as models converge and cheap open-weight options get good enough for production, the moat is shifting from model quality to compute and distribution. The catch for developers is that a vendor-owned tool now serves the parent company's incentives, so the smart hedge is building around model flexibility instead of locking into one provider.

Aaron Elijah Mars is the founder of two open-source AI projects, Aeon and MiroShark, both built on the conviction that software should run, observe, and ship without waiting for a human prompt. Aeon is a GitHub-native autonomous agent framework where each agent is defined by a SOUL.md (a model of the user's worldview), a STRATEGY.md (their goals), and skills, with every action logged and auditable in real time so it can be rolled back. MiroShark is a simulation company, described as "World Model...

\ What is the actual constraint on private markets going on-chain at scale? It is not blockchain throughput. It is not custody. It is not regulatory clarity around stablecoins, which Japan, the EU, and now the United States have all addressed in the last eighteen months. The real bottleneck is older, less interesting, and considerably harder to fix: the data behind every private asset sits inside an unstructured document that no machine can independently verify line by line. \ Inven...

Switch shut down unexpectedly. Power cycle fixed it. Logs showed CPU hit 66°C which is the real shutdown threshold. Platform output shows 104°C as critical. That 38 degree gap caused all the confusion. Lab stress test at 99% CPU only reached 50°C so sustained load was not the cause. Most likely a short CPU burst. Deployed monitoring package to fix threshold display and capture telemetry going forward. Display bug reported to RD team for permanent fix.

Drawing on experience inside major crypto exchanges, the author argues that much of the industry has drifted away from Bitcoin's original peer-to-peer vision. While centralized exchanges and payment gateways solved real problems around speed, compliance, and usability, they also recreated many of the trusted intermediaries crypto was designed to remove. The article explores how direct settlement, self-custody, swap protocols, and non-custodial payment architectures can bring crypto payments clos...

The IT talent gap surpassed 4.7 million unfilled cybersecurity roles and widened 19% in a single year. MSPs that keep trying to hire through it are losing clients before they lose payroll. The MSPs that are scaling are treating delivery capacity as infrastructure rather than a staffing problem.

Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done.

From Amazon's “Off Campus” to Netflix’s upcoming “Icebreakers,” the recent spate of hetero-hockey romances shows Hollywood learned the wrong lessons from “Heated Rivalry.”

Yesterday, Snap debuted its new $2,195 Specs glasses. In an interview with CNBC, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel described the Specs as something the company had been working on for more than 12 years, an attempt to "bring computing into the world" and "make it more human." He positioned them as a device to help people […]

According to the latest Pew Research poll, 49 percent of Americans report using chatbots at least occasionally, but 63 percent think the tech is advancing too quickly. Overall, use of AI chatbots has increased dramatically since 2024, when only 33 percent reported using them. Specifically, ChatGPT's usage has doubled since 2023, with 44 percent of […]

Anthropic has spent much of this week fighting to get its newest AI models back online after the Trump administration abruptly ordered the company to cut access for all foreign nationals, including users inside the US and its own employees, forcing Anthropic to block access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone.

Epic Games has been touting the potential of an interoperable metaverse for years, though that vision hasn't yet become a reality. But with Unreal Engine 6, the next major version of its game development engine, Epic plans to take a big step toward that theoretical future: it will let developers make games that can use […]
