I've been doing front-end development for somewhere around 20 years now. During that time, I've watched the job change over and over again. New frameworks. New languages. New tooling. New ways of building and deploying software. But I don't think I've ever had to adapt as quickly as I have over the
There’s a pattern we keep seeing across indie development and creative communities. One person posts: “I have a project, but I need an artist.” A programmer says: “I’m looking for a team.” A writer is looking for something worth joining. A composer wants a real project to score. A designe
AWS makes it incredibly easy to provision infrastructure. Sometimes, a little too easy. An EC2 instance gets created for a project. A volume survives after the instance is terminated. A snapshot is kept "just in case." A development environment runs all night even though nobody is using it. Indiv
Error: model 'Natuworkguy/flash-onyx-2.2:31b' not found (status code: 404) I never built :31b. I built :31b-cloud. I asked for :31b-cloud. Ollama went looking for something else, didn't find it, and told me so, using a name that existed nowhere on my machine, in my registry, or in my head. T
Last week I ran the first KODA Code Jam — a tournament where developers build niche single-page apps, submit them to the Showcase Wall, and compete for Champion status. The result: zero submissions. I could've blamed users. "They didn't care." "The timing was wrong." "My audience isn't into hackat
I tested two local LLMs in two different quantization formats on the same laptop, on the same prompt, three trials each. The result is the opposite of what the marketing says: the supposedly-faster new format lost by 1.8x. Q4_K_M (the older integer-based format) hit 4.7 tokens/second and finished a
In the lifecycle of a mobile application, the most expensive milliseconds are the ones that occur between the user tapping the icon and the first meaningful interaction. In my eight years of professional software engineering, I have seen these milliseconds treated as a secondary performance metric—a
toolkitsapp.com Formatters (JSON, SQL, CSS, HTML, YAML), converters (CSV to JSON, number bases, timestamps, units, timezones), generators (QR, UUID, passwords, cron expressions, favicons, meta tags), image tools (compress, resize, format convert, SVG to PNG), a JWT decoder, a regex tester, a handful
Quick question. If you run a voice agent, do you know your prompt cache hit rate on turn 1? Not the average across the call. Just turn 1, when the caller has said hello and is sitting in silence waiting for your agent to speak. We thought ours was fine. We pre-warm before every call, like everyone
A few weeks ago I was talking with Claude about whether a model could have anything like a belief, and what it would take. Its answer was that tool use is the most underrated piece: a tool is the first thing that can tell a model "no" where the "no" does not come from a human. Run some code, and the
Most teams treat "audit logging" as an afterthought: pipe everything into a SIEM or a big Elastic cluster, then hope the auditor is satisfied. In practice, that's where the pain starts. I'm Qin Kang, and I built Log Audit Platform after watching a client burn roughly six engineering-months duct-tap
Hello DEV community! 👋 For my first post, I want to share why I started building Coordiation CSS, an independent utility first CSS compiler focused on static output, owned source, and machine readable contracts. Coordiation is currently at version 1.0.0-rc.1. This is a release candidate, not a cla
