Issue 328: As long as you love AI

If you think about it, tech is kind of like a Backstreet Boys song: it doesn’t care who you are, where you’re from, or what you did, as long as you use it. It’s beautiful how almost everyone on earth has the same addiction to social media. We really are more alike than we think! That’s why, this week, we’re spanning the entire spectrum of tech experiences.

For those who’re done screwing around with AI and ready to find out, we’ve got the story of the biggest AI conference in the world, HumanX. For the coding beginner—or the expert nostalgic for the wide-eyed, bushy-tailed optimism of their early code days—we’ve got the Worst Coder in the World’s latest misadventure with agents and Python. Maybe your software genius is bursting out of your brain with nowhere to go? We’ve got you covered with Stack Internal’s Ingestion that makes sorting all your genius as easy as pie. And we haven’t even talked about the wide range of tech complexity happening on the pod: Bloomberg’s Jason Williams dives into the deceptively simple but nearly impossible task of making date and time work in JavaScript and how the Temporal proposal fixes that, while Collate’s Harsha Chintalapani explores the complexities of production data in AI systems. Ah, the dichotomy of it all.

And that’s not all. From sledgehammers to infinity to Claude Code, we’ve got stories from all over the web that’ll remind you there are many ways to use technology. There’s no better example of that than our very own Stack users, who cover the entire spectrum of curiosity and knowledge. For instance, why are things the color they are? Why were old computers so weird? Why is everyone bad at math sometimes? Wanna know one of our favorite uses of technology, though? Well, it’s getting to click away on our computers so we can have all those stories and more ready for you down below.
