Great to see so many folks suggesting the outbox pattern for avoiding dual writes. If you want to learn more about how to implement the outbox pattern, why you should use log-based CDC to do so, and what potential alternatives are, check out my post here: morling.dev/blog/revisiting-…

In building AI agents @cline , we've identified three mind viruses Mind Viruses are seductive ideas that sound smart, but don’t work in practice. 1. Multi-Agent Orchestration 2. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) 3. More Instructions = Better Results Let's explore why!

A simple mental model:

Clean Code Tips

New @MistralAI cookbook: Self-Supervised Prompt Optimization ❌ Prompt engineering... sucks. It's a non-standard process, heavily relying on trial and error and difficult to standardize 🤩 Luckily, we can automate it using ✨prompt optimization✨, investigated in recent works such as Self-Supervised Prompt Optimization 🎯 In its essence, Prompt Optimization (PO) consists in the process of taking a prompt aiming at performing a certain task and iteratively refining it to make it better for the specific problem tackled. ✅ This notebook gives an overview of how to use PO with Mistral models Link in 🧵:

AI agent that turns GitHub codebases into step-by-step tutorials with diagrams and code summaries

my secret to writing good docs is "never put two paragraphs in a row"

This works (very) well.

It took me a little while but I am finally reposting this tutorial on my (new) personal website / blog. It should be easier to share and read then a X article, let me know what you think! maximerivest[.]com

"Fundamental" truths about software: - Code is liability - The more code you have, the more bugs you tend to have - The more complex a system, the more important architecture becomes - Writing maintainable code is a lot more effort than just getting it to work

Everyone: GitHub Desktop is better! No, VS Code! Me: ...I just use `git add -p`. Walks you through each change, hunk for hunk, and lets you accept with `y`. It’s like a mini code review before you commit. Pair that with dandavison/delta, and you get syntax highlighting too 👀

open-source tool for parsing PDFs, Word, and PowerPoint for LLMs

This makes quick experiments so much easier

the only cursor rule you need

This is insane. Google dropped the most powerful UI designer in the world. You just describe the app, and it generates the code. It’s called Stitch. Here’s how it works:

OK, I’ve made up my mind. After testing Qwen3 models in real-world tasks like agentic workflows, parallel function calls, RAG, MCP, QA, long chats, long context… 🔥 Qwen3-4B = reasoning ON 🧠 Qwen3-32B = reasoning OFF Size isn’t everything. Reasoning is.

is this just me?
