Our SIGMOD paper with our friends at Tsinghua + @wesmckinney.com + @pateljm.bsky.social on creating a next generation open-source data file format is out. F3 is a future-proof file format avoids the mistakes of Parquet. 📄 Paper: db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2025/... 📁 Code: github.com/future-file-...

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Today is the new semester for @db.cs.cmu.edu's Intro to Database Systems! We're going harder into material than before. More challenging projects but you can use LLMs to help. We also have 10min talks each Wed from leading DB companies: 15445.courses.cs.cmu.edu/fall2025

The positive thing about AI tooling going mainstream and setting expectations high (e.g. "anyone can build software with AI") is that a large group will learn what us devs know already: Creating good software is hard and it's hard to explain to outsiders in a way they understand

Engineering is the intersection of Curiosity and Capability When your curiosity outstrips your capability, you expand your capability and grow When your capability expands, it allows you to see farther and grows your curiosity Don't allow your tools take away both your Curiosity and Capability

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdpD.... Loved the tooling.

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I have a friend looking for people using Clickhouse in production. They have some questions about usage/use cases. Mind shooting me a DM? (please 🔃 for reach)

LLM is the new OS. English is the new programming language

This is a great interview. Kent Beck talks to @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com about how he's having more fun programming now with AI genies than he's had in ages. Also: the birth of Extreme Programming. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/tdd-ai-age...

We're thrilled to announce the first stable release of Oxlint - version 1.0! Our Rust-powered JavaScript/TypeScript linter delivers 50~100x faster performance than ESLint with 500+ rules and zero configuration required. Time to give it a try! voidzero.dev/posts/announ...

📰 LLMs are mirrors of operator skill

I’m a little worried that AI will lock in whatever best practices are most popular at this moment and we won’t evolve as easily from here

me: hey claude i want better error handling in my code claude: very cool have you tried writing rust in typescript

If you find an OSS issue that calls your attention, go for it. You don't need to ask permission to start working or have it assigned to you. If someone else sends a PR before you, that's great. You can use your knowledge of the issue to help review the PR, add tests, and validate the approach.

So.. is there a @zed.dev "Max Plan" in the works? Using Zed is a much nicer (and more graphical) experience than using Claude Code in the terminal, but.. those prompts sure go fast, I'd love a Claude Max kind of deal where it's capped to <200EUR/month and I don't have to monitor usage.

I genuinely like untangling legacy codebases to make them better (building a feature, upgrading, etc); it feels good in my brain. ...which is an oddly fun part of the whole "vibe coding" thing, because after I have a tool prototype a project for me, I get to go in and fix all of the weird code 😆

I can't believe this is real www.thewayofcode.com

All the LLM advancements are making me feel like I'm a superhero. It's like real life Iron Man - Just that my Jarvis is still a Work in Progress. 🤖

One of the most important skills (as always) is going to be - Asking questions. Asking really good (dumb) questions. The ones who asks really good questions can steer the LLMs in a proper direction. The ones who can't will blame LLMs for not being upto the task

🎉 Rust turns 10! What a decade for us all 🥳 To celebrate, we’ve curated 10 must-watch talks from EuroRust. Let’s kick things off 👇 🧵 1/11

@devongovett.bsky.social Is ParcelRSC client designed to work with any RSC payload (like NextJS RSC) or only works with ParcelRSC? Not sure if RSC integrations are implemented based on any spec or if any deviations.

I've often said that if I could have a super power, I'd want the power of persuasion. One of the ways I'd use that power is to convince people to use composition more. Stop overloading components with responsibilities. Please, I'm begging you.

such a good talk!

Everything is magic till you understand it. "Serde" is magical. (At least as of today).

my first "youtube video". enjoy

I'm enjoying writing these narrative type stories. Wrote the second short one www.prasanthkarri.dev/the-nth-enco.... Do read the first one before if you haven't www.prasanthkarri.dev/the-first-en... Blogging almost after 15 years (old coding blog is dead long back). Appreciate feedback if any.

Nice interesting conversation around building Jarvis like Agents. www.youtube.com/watch?v=liGd...

I finally got around to reading AI 2027. Calling it "science fiction" seems like an insult to science fiction; perhaps "singularity erotica" is more apt? ai-2027.com

Hmm... People say AI is taking away our jobs and there's no need to learn coding...etc. I've spent almost 3USD in last one hour on Claude Code and i'm right back at where I've started. Absolutely 0 progress. Back to hands on...

Single Prompt - on ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini at the same time. It's Gemini's output almost always that satisfies me. Exactly what I'm looking for. Looks like Gemini is going to be my new thought partner. (So far it's been mostly Claude).

Instead of Vibe Coding: Pareto Programming Let the LLM build 80% of the code in 20% of the time, then spend the other 80% of the time on the other 20% of the codebase. Fixing flaws, addressing edge cases, improving readability, adding tricky features, making sure its accessible, etc etc.

I highly recommend using a helper function like `shouldNeverHappen` instead of throwing errors directly in your code (only applies to defects/panics). It's an easy way to make your code more readable and improve DX by automatically opening the debugger during dev.

One of the hardest parts about community management is that even after you ship, it sometimes takes *years* for people to update their knowledge of the product.

What are some good prompting techniques I can use to get a better summary of a research paper?

This wouldn't have happened in Rust. The Rust compiler (I think even the Go compiler) would yell if there is an unused variable. So, I wouldn't have made this mistake not because I am smart, but because I'm dumb enough to rely completely on the compiler 🤔

Neat little TypeScript trick: If you have a string or number type that you have some default/known values for: type Role = "alert" | "alertdialog" | string TypeScript will simplify the type to just: Role: string However if you wrap it like `string & {}` you'll preserve the autocompletions

Wrote about my first experience interacting with the machine. Just wanted to get in the habit of writing more - so a short read. Will write about more technical stuff in future posts. Probably will be around Rust, Distributed Systems & Design Systems initially. Excited. 🎉

Speaking of which, I’ve been wondering when the next new batch of interesting languages is gonna appear. Like it’s been ten years since the go/rust cohort came up. A lot of current up-and-coming languages have been up-and-coming for a while, when are we gonna see some fresh faces?
