Four hot startups aim to keep AI data centers cool
Posted on August 24, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length short
Data centers consume up to one-third of their energy for cooling, driving demand for innovative solutions. Direct-to-chip cooling, a emerging technology, uses cold plates to target heat sources directly on CPUs/GPUs, improving efficiency and sustainability. Traditional cooling relies on large chillers and water systems, while direct-to-chip cooling attaches cold plates to processors. These plates use liquid or advanced materials to absorb heat locally, reducing reliance on centralized cooling and lowering energy use. By Heather Clancy.

Devops in motion: Building with purpose in the code phase
Posted on July 31, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length long
Modern DevOps code phases require strategic branching (Trunk-Based, Git Flow, GitHub Flow) to balance speed and stability. Trunk-Based minimizes merge conflicts via feature flags, Git Flow structures releases with dedicated branches, and GitHub Flow streamlines CI/CD through pull requests. Each model impacts team velocity, release cadence, and operational overhead, necessitating alignment with organizational priorities. By Drew Grubb.

A 10x faster TypeScript
Posted on June 26, 2025, Level intermediate Resource Length long
Most developer time is spent in editors, and it's where performance is most important. We want editors to load large projects quickly, and respond quickly in all situations. Modern editors like Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code have excellent performance as long as the underlying language services are also fast. With our native implementation, we'll be able to provide incredibly fast editor experiences. By Anders Hejlsberg.

Leading effective engineering teams in the age of GenAI
Posted on April 4, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Using AI in software development is not about writing more code faster; it's about building better software. It's up to you as a leader to define what "better" means and help your team navigate how to achieve it. Treat AI as a junior team member that needs guidance. Train folks to not over-rely on AI; this can lead to skill erosion. Emphasize "trust but verify" as your mantra for AI-generated code. Leaders should upskill themselves and their teams to navigate this moment.Using AI in software development is not about writing more code faster; it's about building better software.

How Meta ported million Lines of Android code from Java to Kotlin
Posted on December 31, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
The Meta Java project is an open-source effort to create a new, more efficient, and modern compiler for the Java language. One of its key goals is to make Kotlin, which is widely used in Android app development, compatible with the Meta Java platform. This means that developers can write Kotlin code that targets the Meta Java virtual machine (VM) and run on it, rather than relying on the traditional Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The goal is to provide a more efficient and secure way to develop high-performance applications. By Sergio De Simone.

Introduction to AI-driven PHP development: Automating entities with Symfony and OpenAI
Posted on December 18, 2024, Level beginner Resource Length medium
In this blog post, we'll explore how to automate PHP entity creation using Symfony components and OpenAI's GPT-4. If you've ever had to manually define entity classes, manage field definitions, or handle relationships in Symfony applications, you know how repetitive and error-prone the process can become. By leveraging the power of AI, we can streamline this workflow, automating much of the entity generation based on simple user input. By Anka Bajurin Stiskalov.
