Developers switching between PowerShell and WSL terminals hit persistent permission issues that sudo can't solve. The fix isn't chmod 777 or editing wsl.conf - it's launching VS Code from within WSL. Worth noting: this workaround sidesteps deeper problems with WSL's DrvFS mount layer.
Czech software firm STRV migrated an internal project from containerized monolith to AWS serverless through collaborative architecture sessions, culminating in a Prague hackathon that produced two working prototypes. The pattern matters: knowledge transfer over consulting, validation before commitment.
GitHub's special profile repositories (username/username) plus machine-readable llms.txt files are proving effective for AI crawler visibility. The approach aligns with GitHub's recent semantic search rollout and the broader shift to LLM-driven answer engines.
Czech digital agency STRV migrated an internal project from containerised monolith to AWS serverless through hands-on learning and a Saturday hackathon. Two teams built working prototypes using AppSync, Step Functions, and DynamoDB. The approach - knowledge transfer over consulting - matters more than the tech stack.
A developer's public departure from Dev.to over AI-generated spam and low-quality content reflects growing enterprise concerns about community platform governance. The incident highlights a broader challenge: how to moderate technical communities without gamification while maintaining quality.
Former ECB president Mario Draghi says the EU must federalise to counter deindustrialisation driven by high energy costs and US-China competition. EU industrial output fell 7% in 2025, with 700,000 manufacturing jobs lost since 2018. Industry groups want market reforms, not constitutional change.
Microsoft is deploying Anthropic's Claude Code across Windows, Office, and Surface teams - including non-developers - despite positioning GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool to customers. Engineers are being asked to compare both tools and provide feedback. The move reveals which capabilities Microsoft values most, even if it complicates the sales pitch.
Anil Madhavapeddy has implemented a high-performance HTTP/1.1 server that runs almost entirely on the callstack, eliminating garbage collection overhead. The approach uses OxCaml—Jane Street's experimental OCaml extensions—to handle petabyte-scale planetary computing workloads. While technically impressive, production adoption faces tooling complexity and limited ecosystem support.
The open-source Android terminal emulator now has 49,600 stars on GitHub, but enterprise teams should note a critical gap: the Google Play version is unmaintained. The project's maintainers explicitly recommend F-Droid for updates, creating a distribution headache for BYOD policies.
The Tamagotchi-looking device went viral on TikTok for fake exploits, but it's a legitimate pentesting tool that's been testing access control systems for three years. Enterprise security teams should understand what it actually does - and what it can't.
The viral AI agent that runs shell commands and accesses files locally has fundamental security gaps. Research shows 22% of enterprise OpenClaw instances are unauthorized, over half with privileged access. Cisco and Palo Alto documented data exfiltration via third-party skills.
Developers spend more time switching between React, Vue, and Svelte than actually learning any of them. Educational research suggests this decision fatigue—not technical difficulty—is what slows skill development. The data shows committing to even a suboptimal path beats perpetual evaluation.
