| Best Linux distro for developers of 2025 |
| |
| |
TechRadar rounds up the best Linux distros for devs. Manjaro delivers Arch power without the pain. Debian and Ubuntu LTS hold steady for those who put uptime over edge. Fedora keeps the new stuff flowing.
Solus rolls with a tight curation hand—smooth updates, no chaos. Mocaccino aims at Gentoo lovers who want portage without the config rabbit hole. |

| Worktrees: Git's best kept secret (and why you should use them) |
| |
| |
Git worktrees have been around since 2015, but few devs use them like they could. They let you work on multiple branches at once—each in its own directory—without the usual stash-switch-stash-repeat dance.
The real power move? Pair them with a bare repo. That gives you a clean, central base where each worktree lives outside the main checkout. It’s tidy. It scales. And it makes parallel work feel natural instead of chaotic. |

| Next Gen Data Processing at Massive Scale At Pinterest With Moka |
| |
| |
| Pinterest kicked its creaky Hadoop system to the curb and embraced Moka, a shiny Kubernetes + AWS EKS platform, to crank up scalability and security. Graviton ARM EC2 instances, Spark Operator, and Apache YuniKorn unleashed a performance beast and sliced costs. They wrestled with memory monsters and JDK upgrades, snagging a 5% performance upgrade. Moka now commands 70% of Pinterest's Spark workloads. By year's end, Hadoop will be six feet under. |

| Computational Thinking Is The New Programming |
| |
| |
Software's entering its blurred-lines era. The new hybrid model fuses old-school code with natural language prompts and AI-generated logic. Frameworks like DSPy let devs stitch together pipelines where logic flows through code, prompts, and outside data—like it's all one system.
What’s changing: Programming’s not just typing Python anymore. It’s becoming a conversation—half code, half clever prompt. Knowing both matters if you want to build, debug, or even guess what the thing's doing. |

| 4 Ways I am Encouraging My 4 Year Old Child to Help Learn Coding and Use Computer |
| |
| |
GCompris, CodeMonkey, Microbit, and Raspberry Pi kits aren’t just toys. They’re a full tech ladder for tiny humans. Start with GCompris to get little fingers clicking. Add CodeMonkey for block logic basics. Then toss in Microbit or an Elecrow kit, and suddenly code makes LEDs blink and buzzers buzz.
Kids get a real path: screen to circuits. Just don’t ditch the grown-ups yet—some jumps still need a helper on hand. |

| Myth Or Reality: Will AI Replace Computer Programmers? |
| |
| |
| Generative AI tools like GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet now handle the grunt work—fixing bugs, cranking out code, writing docs—with scary accuracy. Amazon and Anthropic are already hinting at hiring fewer engineers. But the jobs aren’t vanishing; they’re mutating. |

| Vibe code is legacy code |
| |
| |
| "Vibe coding"—Karpathy's label for cranking out AI-assisted code at warp speed—lets devs skip the deep dive. It works for quick hacks and throwaway prototypes. But ship that stuff to prod? Cue the technical debt. |

| The Future is NOT Self-Hosted |
| |
| |
A dev spun up a full self-hosted cloud on a refit workstation—Immich, Calibre-web, Audiobookshelf, and Jellyfin all running smoothly on Proxmox, Docker, and Tailscale. Custom NAS, the works.
Cool demo. But it hits a wall: self-hosting’s fine for hobbyists, not scaling. One person can’t out-infra Google.
The takeaway? We don’t just need better solo setups—we need shared, open infrastructure the internet can actually rely on.
System shift: The real momentum’s in community-owned, privacy-first cloud tooling. Beyond the solo server in your closet. |
