Vercel and its CEO Guillermo Rauch have found themselves at the center of controversy after Rauch shared a post about meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The post described an “enjoyable” discussion about AI literacy, software empowerment, and optimism for peace and safety. It also featured flags…
OpenAI is no longer just helping people decide what to buy — it’s now helping them actually buy. On Monday, the company announced the rollout of Instant Checkout, a feature that allows users to complete purchases directly inside ChatGPT. The launch starts with Etsy sellers in the U.S.…
When Vercel (formerly Zeit) burst into the scene, it felt like the promise of “zero-ops frontends” had finally arrived. You push a branch, it builds, it deploys, routing and CDN handled. Over time, Next.js deepened the bond: Vercel became the platform many front-end developers defaulted to. But in…
Anthropic just leveled up Claude Code along with Claude Sonnet 4.5—this isn’t just polish, it’s a push toward making agentic coding mainstream. For context: Claude Code is Anthropic’s terminal-based agentic coding interface. You run it from the command line (or integrated into editors), give it instructions, and it…
Anthropic just dropped Claude Sonnet 4.5, and it’s coming in hot: faster, sharper, and already topping the coding and agent leaderboards. The company is calling it its most capable and most aligned model yet—and it’s rolling out across all Claude products today, at the same price as Sonnet…
CYBERTEC has announced the release of pgwatch v4, the latest version of its popular open-source PostgreSQL monitoring stack. This release brings a significant set of new metrics, fresh Grafana dashboards, and usability improvements aimed at making database monitoring more powerful and easier to manage. You can see pgwatch…
PostgreSQL 18 introduces one of the most significant architectural changes in years: asynchronous I/O (AIO). With AIO, PostgreSQL gains more control over how storage I/O is scheduled, enabling better performance and utilization of modern hardware. If you haven’t yet caught up, we covered the v18 release announcement last…
When I first started running production web apps (around 2015), large parts of the “cloud database” conversation centered on whether to self-manage MySQL/PostgreSQL or use something like Amazon RDS. Over the years, as AWS matured, RDS became a standard default choice. Meanwhile, smaller players like DigitalOcean added “managed…
DeepSeek has quietly pushed its research agenda forward with the release of DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp, an experimental intermediate model that builds on V3.1-Terminus and introduces a novel DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) mechanism. For those tracking the company’s rapid-fire cadence—from the 671B-parameter MoE V3 and its hybrid-thinking V3.1 upgrade, to the…
MariaDB has been a go-to database for developers and sysadmins since it forked from MySQL back in 2009, mainly to keep things open-source and community-driven under the GNU GPL license. It’s essentially a drop-in replacement for MySQL but comes with extras like better query optimization, more storage engines,…
If you’ve been watching the AI boom lately, you know that the major breakthroughs in model training and inference often hinge on raw hardware horsepower — especially GPUs. Every generation, new architectures push what’s possible: larger models, faster inference, more efficient memory handling. As AI becomes more accessible,…
When I first got sucked into “vibe coding,” the appeal was irresistible: talk to an AI, get working code, iterate by telling it “fix this, change that,” and watch things come together. The problem was: very quickly, the AI would drift. It would forget naming conventions, reimplement things…
