A newsletter by developers, for developers, curated by Cassidy Williams and the Stack Overflow team. Every week, we’ll share a collection of great questions from our community, news and articles from our blog, and awesome links from around the web.
This week: how to run data engineering without burning out your team, why they bothered with HTTP instead of just shipping HTML over FTP, and what happens when burnout hits farmers.
This week: a year in the life of AI at Stack Overflow, crying in front of your thesis advisor, and the time zone of the moon.

This week: pair programming with CodeGen assistants, whether using AI means you're smarter now, and when rain improves your Wi-Fi reception.
This week: the data costs of observability, the legal consequences of not understanding your Miranda rights, and the benefits of scripting in the primary project language.
This week: we talk with the creator of Node.js and Deno, calculate the stats on our rep, and consider what legacy our code is leaving.
This week: the path to AI adoption, the legality of taking free stuff, and the hot new Core Web Vital just dropped.
This week: tips on how to get your RAG in order, pictures that let you program, and Java inches closer to becoming Rust.

This week: an answer for the perennial question of who owns this service, a question about the name for scissor makers, and names of companies that are also the name of a person.
This week: the AI bot that fixes security flaws, the legality of phone lines that are usually unusually busy, and tech jobs lose their shine.
This week: your company's stock price is taking our jobs, brain development after 25, and why 100% unit test coverage is actually a bad idea.
This week: we're celebrating our annual Stack Gives Back event, cutting to the chase in work DMs, and wondering what the rest of the world thinks about Comic Sans.
This week: the incredible shrinking life of developer skills, the future dearth of space pirates, and the impeding ubiquity of IPv6.
