I've used AI to build out 80% of the software I wrote in 2025.
Building the wrong way can lead to tremendous amounts of problems:
1. Frequent bugs
2. Unscalable designs
3. Broken features
Simply put: Great code scales, bad code does not.
Why? AI is a gap filler.

Defang keeps networking familiar: public services use load balancers, private services run in isolated subnets, and internal DNS handles service-to-service calls.
It’s the Compose networking model applied securely and at scale in your cloud.

Missing or broken Dockerfiles are a common deployment failure. Defang avoids this by using Railpack to build images automatically for Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Elixir, and static sites.
Just bring your app and a Compose file.

> On March 1, 2026, we are introducing a new $0.002 per-minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage.
Bonkers. Per invocation? Maybe. Monthly fee? Maybe. But per minute for this? That's the sort of thing that shatters trust.

Qui a testé Bitbucket récemment (pour remplacer un github + github action) ?
Mes derniers usages de bitbucket c'était en 2008 avec Mercurial (pas de git à l'époque). Autant dire que j'ai pas une vision très à jour de l'outil....

I recently wrote about AI-generated imagery, but not from the “AI vs. artists” angle. I am more interested in how these tools change the way we work with the tools we already have.

Some thoughts on how new image-generation tools are changing creative habits, reshaping expectations, and influencing the way people approach visual work.

Google's Antigravity was blocked from directly reading my .env.test file (shouldn't have been the case as it's not mentioned anywhere in the .gitignore). It promptly decided to run cat in the terminal to get around what I assume is a security protocol 😂

I put together the first edition of Tooltips, a write-up on some tools I’ve been using and how they felt in practice.
This one covers ChatGPT Pro, Google’s #Antigravity, and a small experiment where Antigravity improvised in a way I found neat.

I'm a big fan of #kubernetes in many ways. I started using it in 2019 and quickly became a fan (kinda): I was able to run my containers across multiple nodes and scale out. But it was overkill for what I was doing, and always required building a bunch of extra tooling to get the behaviour I needed.
Some people see #Kubernetes as *the* way to deploy #containers to the cloud. But it's big, complex, and not as portable as it seems.
Kubernetes has it's place, but at #Defang we're building something for the rest of us. For #devs who want simplicity, portability, and a whole lot more.

A Different Way to Think About Deploying Containers to the Cloud
If youre app is built with containers, maybe you should rethink your deployment strategy. Why deal with all the Kubernetes overhead when Defang gives you simpler, leaner deployments to your cloud's native container runtime.

What's your fav #vscodeextension ?
Ours is the Defang extension of course 😁 It makes it easy to ask your coding agent to deploy to your #cloud account (AWS, GCP) including integrations with Bedrock and Vertex. It generates a compose files and then our rule-based system sets up infra you can trust.

Always been a fan of #Django + #Postgres 💚
But I also use other stuff. I've been a big fan of #Hasura as well. And generally build with React on the frontend, though I've been experimenting with Svelte and Solid recently.

I keep feeling frustrated by complexity, and then recognizing that there's a good reason that complexity came to exist, and then grumbling in resignation.

I'm a fan of containerized dev environnents, whether it's dev containers or other formats (have used Coder, Gitpod, etc over the past 4-5 years).
IMO dev containers have the worst developer experience of the ones I've tried. But now they are the accepted standard that others have had to adopt. Bah.

me in theory: dev containers sound so cool!
me in practice: this barely works and took all day to get going

Regularly blows my mind that how much faster/better/more reliable our internet is in Paris than it was in Vancouver for less than half the price.

I had fun recording this one too! Very cool that you can self-host n8n. I feel like when I first came across them there wasn't so much emphasis on AI? But now I see it pop up regularly in hackathons when people want to build on top of LLMs.
