Decision records are emerging as a critical memory layer in AI-assisted software development, capturing not just what was built but why, as AI tools make code cheaper to generate and easier to refacto…
Linear lacks an official command-line interface, leaving the ecosystem to community-built CLIs like schpet/linear-cli and linctl, which track an API they don't own. Radial, a competing issue tracker, …
A developer argues that AI coding agents need a structured, graph-based memory system to retain project-specific lessons, rather than relying on larger prompts or temporary context. The proposed syste…
GraphQL, created at Facebook in 2012 and now governed by the GraphQL Foundation, is a query language and runtime that allows clients to request exactly the data they need from a single endpoint, solvi…
A new open protocol called ANIP (Agent-Native Interaction Protocol) enables websites to expose machine-readable interfaces for AI agents, allowing agents to discover and interact with site capabilitie…
Apollo GraphQL CEO Matt DeBerglis told the AI Agent Conference that enterprises should use GraphQL and MCP as a structured semantic architecture to provide clean data to autonomous agents, protect int…
A lost essay from 2004 by a former Amazon engineer, recovered in 2024, argues that Amazon's internal service architecture solved the 2-tier database problem but created new complexity for application …
Shopify Scripts will cease execution on June 30, 2026, and the failure is silent: checkout completes at full price with no error. Developers must migrate to Shopify Functions, but a deployed Function …
Engineering career outcomes and infrastructure observability decisions now rely on the same causal attribution methods, according to a cross-domain analysis. Staff+ promotion committees demand Differe…
SurrealDB 3.1 is now available, marking the first minor release in the 3.x series with a focus on stability, security hardening, and the introduction of DiskANN as a second approximate-nearest-neighbo…
NVIDIA hired former startup founder Aaron Erickson to build a GPU allocation system for internal AI researchers after his own AI-powered reorg startup failed. Erickson's previous company, Orgspace, at…
The article summarizes the 2026 API design landscape, identifying three dominant patterns: REST for public APIs and microservices, GraphQL for complex data requirements, and tRPC for TypeScript-to-Typ…
The article argues that side projects often fail because developers over-engineer them with unnecessary complexity, such as full-stack architectures and advanced tools, instead of building simple, fun…
The article is a personal account from an experienced software engineer who specializes in building production-ready AI systems, contrasting his work with superficial demos. He focuses on developing r…
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized communication framework that acts as a universal bridge, enabling AI models to seamlessly connect with external tools, databases, APIs, and software …
In 2025, AI-generated code has made traditional software engineering practices like code reviews and testing ineffective, as AI can produce large volumes of superficially correct code that subtly viol…
Challenges of choosing a data interchange format between clients and servers, focusing on how formats must evolve as applications change. It compares JSON, Protocol Buffers (protobuf), and GraphQL, hi…
