🔥 Discover this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Context: Rewriting Bun in Rust History When Jarred joined the Zig community about 5 years ago, I described him as someone who had strong "beginner energy". That is, he moved fast and tried a lot of different stuff, jumping head first into problems that he was not yet equipped to solve, leading to mediocre outcomes in terms of engineering, but learning a whole heck of a lot in the process. I see it as quite a healthy attitude, particularly for young people and students. This…
🚀 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: A Postgres rewrite in Rust. pgrust targets compatibility with Postgres 18.3 and matches Postgres's expected output across more than 46,000 regression queries. pgrust is disk compatible with Postgres and can boot from an existing Postgres 18.3 data directory. The goal is to make Postgres easier to change from the inside: keep the behavior Postgres-shaped, keep the real Postgres tests as the oracle, and use Rust plus AI-assisted programming to explore deeper server changes. pgrust is not production-ready yet. It is not performance optimized yet. Existing…

One new user joins every second, the service hosts over 600 million repositories, and nearly one billion commits were made in 2025. But scratch the surface, and something else is going on. Some users are concerned about a range of issues, from technical problems like frequent downtime to the service’s political direction, especially since it was taken over by Microsoft. A few high-profile projects have taken things much further, abandoning the offering altogether, in a move…

We’re using generative AI to automate debt collection, a $35B market in the US alone. Our AI agents are already outperforming human collectors by 2X, and we’re doing so at a fraction of the cost. With a team of five, we scaled to a $2 million annualized run rate in just a few months, and we are now hiring a Founding Account Executive to help us reach $10 million within the next…
✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: AI changes rewrite economics because codebases with clear, common patterns get more leverage than proprietary or inconsistent systems. My view on software rewrites has changed because of AI. The quality of AI output isn't determined solely by your prompt. It's determined by what the model already knows from training data, and the context you give it to work with. For coding tasks, most of that context is the codebase. Popular tech stacks have an AI advantage because the model has seen millions of examples, including…

The internet's favorite way to vibe-check a new coding model is the build-off: hand it one prompt, see what app it spits out, post the clip. So we did it, but properly. We gave Grok 4.5, GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claude Fable 5 the exact same three prompts: build a single self-contained HTML file (no libraries, no network calls) for an interactive app.…

By current dev standards, my usage rate is probably average, and my methods are probably primitive. I work on one task at a time and discuss it with Claude Code (at work) or Codex (at home, for now). Sometimes, I let the assistant write code, but I read the output thoroughly, understand it, and revise it. I’m not in the deep end of autonomous agents or agent orchestration. Still, I spend hours each day interacting with LLMs…
🚀 Check out this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Rewriting Bun in Rust (via) Jarred Sumner has been promising this blog post (since May 9th) about his Zig to Rust rewrite of Bun for significantly longer than it took him to finish the rewrite. Honestly, it was worth the wait. This is a detailed description of an extremely sophisticated piece of agentic engineering, featuring dynamic workflows, trial runs, adversarial review and all sorts of other interesting tricks. Jarred spends the first half of the post praising Zig for getting Bun this far. Then…
