Meta Quest Store saw 12% faster loads & 2.5× faster interactions with #React Compiler. ESLint and React violations looks solid too
I'm skeptical, but definitely going to try it out. Auto-memoization without manual useMemo/useCallback sounds promising.

What’s new in JUnit 6: Key Changes and Improvements
JUnit 6 is here, eight years after JUnit 5 was released. This isn’t just an incremental update; it’s a significant modernization leap.

What’s new in #JUnit 6: Key Changes and Improvements
In the age of #AI and AI-powered IDEs, we should get used to asking questions like:
👉 “Is there a function that already does this?”
👉 “Which part of the code handles that?”
👉 “Did I just duplicate something?”
👉 “Is there a function that already does this?”
👉 “Which part of the code handles that?”
👉 “Did I just duplicate something?”

I was excited to discover #Redis numbered databases… only to learn the same day they are widely considered a mistake. I wonder if anyone is actually using them in production

Out of curiosity, I ran some offline LLMs on my Raspberry Pi 4. Building from source was fun, and watching it struggle to squeeze out a word per second, even with the smallest models, was oddly satisfying. It met my low expectations perfectly 😄

Just watched @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com’s “Software engineering with LLMs in 2025: reality check.” Clear, grounded look at how AI-coding tools are used day-to-day. Loved the four wrap-up questions!

🌀 Tried Kotlin Notebook’s `ANIMATE {}` today and got totally sucked in.
First plan: shiny data plots.
Actual result: a roaming kaomoji ( ͡~ ‿ ͡~)
Bottom line: with a bit of code, #kotlin notebooks move more than just data.

It does not seem this way when adding bools, but when an extra value has to be added to boolean, I want to go back in time
Most of the time, boolean props on react components are a bad idea. They don't evolve well. More boolean props create impossible states and the component becomes a "thing" that does way too much.
Go for string literal union types and slot props (composition) more often than not.

A quick reminder. We all know not to click links on emails from unknown sources. Spam is an unknown source. The "unsubscribe" link is a link from an unknown source. Even a "known" sender can be spoofed. Just send it to Spam (or at least thoroughly vet the URL before clicking). Just sayin'.

Had an inspiring two-day exchange with the #trivago tech crew in the Netherlands! 🚀
Huge thanks for letting me join the lineup.
Special thanks to everyone who packed the room for “Mob Programming: Smells Like Team Spirit.” 🙌🔥 Your questions and hallway chats were the best part.

I picked up a Dell in October 2022, installed Ubuntu 22.04 on it, and, surprise! The built-in camera was a no-show 📷. After some digging, I found a workaround and moved on. 1/8

Always wanted to build a personal website but never found the time. Gave #Junie by @jetbrains.com a try, and I’m genuinely impressed with what I could put together so quickly. If it wasn't for Junie, my domain would still be collecting dust: kurets.dev

I don't get it. If it came as a surprise to the managers, then who did this?! Is someone hiding the truth or does it really happen out of the blue, without any consideration as a top down decision?

Spent 30 minutes debugging CSS for my daughter's kindergarten WordPress site… only to realize I forgot a semicolon on the previous line.
IDEs make us too relaxed, but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

A company expecting staff to work in-office 2-3 days per week will increasingly prefer in-person (final round) interviews.
If they pay top of market: this itself will be enough for most candidates to do it. The payoff is high enough, after all.

It's easy to generate an image from a few words, but the more precise you want it to be, the more frustrating the process becomes. Sometimes I feel like it would take less time to learn how to draw and create it myself
