agentic LLM for software engineering tasks. Devstral is built under a collaboration between Mistral AI and All Hands AI 🙌, and outperforms all open-source models on SWE-Bench Verified by a large margin. We release Devstral under the Apache 2.0 license.

Open Source Agents for Developers
Use AI to tackle the toil in your backlog, so you can focus on what matters: hard problems, creative challenges, and over-engineering your dotfiles

"MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools."

Good book to think about how to build a small business (typically one-person operation) to a self-sustaining business with "systems" in place, that allows the business to scale, with a goal to exit.

BAML is a domain-specific language to generate structured outputs from LLMs — with the best developer experience.

look at victorialogs as an alternative to #elasticsearch

VictoriaLogs, a high performance log database. It’s not your average generic indexer like ElasticSearch and its ilk, nor is it anything like a traditional relational database. It shows some resemblance to document stores, but only on the surface. It is specifically built for logs. Structured data is indexed and tokenized. Due to tokenization, the on-disk (and thus, in-memory) data is a lot smaller, and many queries are considerably cheaper, even if performing a full scan: rather than comparing arbitrary long strings, it will compare much smaller, bounded integer tokens in most cases.

Over the years, the format used in writing apps started to change from proprietary .docx to .pages and .pdf to the innocuous syntax called Markdown. Outside the tech field, few are familiar with its name, and yet more and more people use it unknowingly.9

Today, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Google Chat, Teams, and Trello, among others, use Markdown syntax, at least partially. Seeing weird characters when you copy-paste from AI? That’s because ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and others use Markdown to format their responses. GitHub, Reddit, and similar tech-oriented sites have been using their own Markdown flavors for years now.

A Lightweight Framework for Studying Learning Dynamics
Pico demystifies how language models learn. Lightweight and efficient, it's your go-to toolkit for training and analyzing models across different scales.

Built around two core libraries: pico-train for model training and pico-analyze for in-depth analysis—designed from the ground up to work seamlessly together.

the articles in the list focus on the following areas: general programming knowledge, software engineering, backend development, technical writing, Python, Go.

My advice about using AI is simple: use AI as an assistant, not an expert, and use it judiciously. Some people will object, “but AI can be wrong!” Yes, and so can the internet in general, but no one now recommends avoiding online resources because they can be wrong. They recommend taking it all with a grain of salt and being careful. That’s what you should do with AI help as well.

Pocket ID is a simple OIDC provider that allows users to authenticate with their passkeys to your services.

The goal of Pocket ID is to be a simple and easy-to-use. There are other self-hosted OIDC providers like Keycloak or ORY Hydra but they are often too complex for simple use cases.

Additionally, what makes Pocket ID special is that it only supports passkey authentication, which means you don’t need a password. Some people might not like this idea at first, but I believe passkeys are the future, and once you try them, you’ll love them. For example, you can now use a physical Yubikey to sign in to all your self-hosted services easily and securely.
