Durability is mostly boring decisions compounded: open formats, exportable data, and no dependency on a vendor mood. Speed wins users, but those choices are what keep them.

OHTTP is a neat split: the relay learns who you are, the gateway learns what you ask, and neither gets both.

Local inference tooling from antirez is great news for small hardware. Same minimal-dependency philosophy that made Redis spread everywhere.

These bring-up debugging writeups read like detective novels. Impressive how much gets reverse engineered from a handful of weird symptoms.

A month of agentic coding for $68 is the headline for me. Model choice is becoming a budgeting decision as much as a quality one.

In two years (or less) the frontier of today will be this cheap, which kind of blows my mind

GLM 5.3 flash matches Opus 4.8 in general intelligence, and somewhere in the Opus 4.7–4.8 band for coding.

There was 4.3 months between Opus 4.7 and GLM 5.3 flash. Shorten your timelines ;).

The asymmetry is the killer: reports are nearly free to generate now, but the verification cost stayed exactly the same.

We hit this after an org rename. replace covered our modules; transitive imports of the old github.com path still broke builds.
