| If you're a Zoomer, this one's for you: Everything Gen Z needs to know about the 2025 tech landscape |
| |
| |
AI investment hit $1.5T in 2025. Think dot-com energy: bloated valuations, feverish M&A. Startup acquisitions shot up 13%. Deal volume? Up 115%.
Hype’s worn thin. Enterprises are done lighting money on fire with flashy tools. Focus is shifting to agents - LLMs that do things, not just say things.
System shift: Developer workflows are crawling toward agent-based stacks. But LLM non-determinism and lack of trust are killing momentum.
Coding practices are splintering. "Vibe coding" - AI generating entire chunks of code - lets non-devs play dev. But it’s messy. Bugs get weirder. Debugging feels like psychic work. Trust in AI tools is breaking. Engineer confidence, too.
Junior hiring slid 25%, but Gen Z devs are crushing it with AI tools. Employers are rethinking “experience” as the resume gold standard.
Elsewhere, 2025 broke some serious ground. Google’s Willow chip leveled up quantum error correction. OpenAI, Adobe, and Microsoft aligned on C2PA watermarking for AI images. Stargate - the $500B datacenter fortress in Texas - went live with 50K NVIDIA Blackwell chips. |

| YOLO Mode: Hidden Risks in Claude Code Permissions |
| |
| |
A scrape of 18,470 Claude Code configs on GitHub shows a pattern: developers are handing their AI agents the keys to the castle.
Unrestricted file, shell, and network access is common. Among them:
- 21.3% let Claude run curl
- 14.5% allow arbitrary Python execution
- 19.7% give it git push privileges
That’s how a prompt injection turns into full-blown RCE or a supply chain breach. |

| ASCII characters are not pixels: a deep dive into ASCII rendering |
| |
| |
| A fresh take on programmatic ASCII rendering brings in high-dimensional shape vectors, supersampling, and contrast tricks to keep edges crisp and animations clean. Under the hood: k-d tree nearest-neighbor lookups, vector quantization, and GPU-powered sampling help push sharp ASCII frames without tanking performance. |

| A Social Filesystem |
| |
| |
The AT Protocol flips social apps inside out. Instead of locking posts and profiles inside platform silos, it treats them as files - JSON-based records, stored in your own decentralized, app-neutral repo.
Everything you do - posts, follows, likes - gets logged as a signed, timestamped record in your personal namespaced collection. It's all tied to your DID (Decentralized Identifier), which doesn’t break if the host or domain ever changes. |

| Replacing Protobuf with Rust to go 5 times faster |
| |
| |
PgDog ditched Protobuf for raw C-to-Rust integration in pg_query.rs. The new setup uses bindgen and recursive FFI wrappers - no serialization, no handoffs.
The payoff? Query parsing is 5× faster. Deparsing hit 10×. Even pgbench saw a 25% bump across major ops. |
