Sharing this story because I see a lot of devs worried what AI means for dev jobs. Especially that AI is pretty good at coding.

Production software is still built by professionals who know how to do this - both with and without AI. And I see no signs of this changing so far.

We published a blog post explaining how Provide Sweep enables self-hosted Kubo nodes to reliably advertise millions of CIDs to the Amino DHT with smooth, predictable resource usage.

Now default in Kubo v0.39 after successful testing in v0.38.

This may be the most important Kubo @ipfs.tech release in a long time

Massive kudos to @guissou.bsky.social and the rest of the team who worked diligently all the way from research and measurement to implementation with UX in mind.

The sad state of mobile web continues.

The median mobile page is now 2.6 MiB, blowing past the size of DOOM (2.48 MiB) in April. The 75th percentile site is now larger than two copies of DOOM.

What are your current takes on content creation on the internet, requiring attention / ad watch time for compensation, vs AI agentic traffic, that doesn't reward the creator?

Is AI traffic finaly guiding us away from ads business models?

No way the UK's tax authority (HMRC) was running their operations off of a US data center

... but they were!

AWS us-east-1 outage knocked them offline, and exposed relying on US infra to serve the British public

The cloud powered the last decade of software.

But it came with a cost: vendor lock-in, opaque pricing, and black-box infrastructure you’re just supposed to trust.

What if the cloud were verifiable, programmable, and truly yours? 🧵

Nobody is born a great engineer. Great engineers are forged in the fires of experience -- year after year of compounding challenges and opportunities.

Does your org frustrate the pursuit of greatness, or unlock and accelerate it? For whom?

And then yes: shipping is the mechanics of learning.
"If there is a single non-negotiable truth in Charity’s worldview, it’s this: shipping is how engineers learn. Not architecture diagrams. Not months of planning. Not 400-comment design docs. Shipping."

Germany's justice ministry held firm and killed EU chat control (for now):

"Chat control without cause must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law. Private communication must never be under general suspicion."

Admirably concise and direct. German in the best possible way.
