| How to Benchmark Python Code? |
| |
| |
| pytest-benchmark now plugs straight into CodSpeed for automatic performance runs in CI - flamegraphs, metrics, and history included. Just toss a decorator on your test and it turns into a benchmark. Want to measure a slice of code more precisely? Use fixtures to zoom in. |

| ChatGPT as My Coding Mentor: How I Learned React and Next.js as a Junior Developer |
| |
| |
A junior dev leveled up their React and Next.js chops just by writing better prompts. Big wins came from getting specific - like stating their skill level, asking for analogies, and stacking questions to unpack how Next.js splits client and server.
Trend to watch: Prompting is a core dev skill for anyone using AI to learn or debug faster. |

| Your URL Is Your State ✅ |
| |
| |
Modern frontend apps love to complicate state. But they keep forgetting the URL - shareable, dependency-free, and built for the job.
This piece breaks down how a well-structured URL can capture UI state, track history, and make bookmarking effortless. No localStorage. No cookies. No bloated global store. |

| The (lazy) Git UI You Didn't Know You Need |
| |
| |
Lazygit is a snappy terminal Git UI that’s picking up steam - and for good reason. It streamlines common tasks like staging, rebasing, and patching without dragging you through clunky menus. The interface sticks close to native Git commands but adds just enough structure to reduce context switches and speed up workflows.
No clicking. No window-juggling. Just a fast, keyboard-first TUI that gets out of your way. |

| Programming Languages in the Age of AI Agents |
| |
| |
GitHub Copilot and friends tend to shine in languages with rich static types - think Rust or Scala. Why? The compiler does the heavy lifting. It flags mistakes fast, keeps structure tight, and gives the AI sharper signals to riff on.
But drop that agent into a sprawling legacy repo, and cracks show. With no access to old design choices or full context, these tools hit comprehension debt - and generate fixes that no human would trust in prod. |

| How the classic anime 'Ghost in the Shell' predicted the future of cybersecurity 30 years ago ✅ |
| |
| |
“Ghost in the Shell” turned 30 this week. Still hits hard.
Back in 1989, it dropped cyberpunk bombs that would take the real world decades to catch up with: government-grade AI hackers, behavior-based intrusion detection, malware tailored for humans, and remote code attribution that vanishes into the ether.
The manga nailed core cybersecurity ideas - heuristic threat profiling, APTs, AI-powered cyberwarfare - long before they had acronyms.
Trend to watch: Cybersecurity keeps marching toward AI-infused attacks, behavioral fingerprinting, and creepier human-tech fusion. Tomorrow’s threat models? Already storyboarded. |

| Why is Zig so Cool? |
| |
| |
Zig brings cross-compilation and C interoperability to the forefront - no extra setup, no toolchain fuss. It builds across architectures, links with C code like it was born to, and skips headers entirely.
Its real flex? Compile-time execution, sharp error handling, and a zero-fat runtime. All wrapped in a language that stays close to the metal, but with guardrails. |

| We are replacing OOP with something worse |
| |
| |
Object-oriented programming didn’t die - it evolved. Now it lives in the guts of infrastructure. Services talk through strict interfaces, crossing process and network lines like pros. Classes and objects? They're now OpenAPI schemas, Docker containers, and Kubernetes clusters - same old encapsulation game, just scaled way out.
Encapsulation jumped from code to infrastructure. Language features stepped back. Infra primitives stepped in.. but this may not be a positive development according to the author. |
