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: 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: how we're partnering to ensure LLMs acknowledge our community's contributions, why a slow train is like walking into a wall, and what design patterns encourage junk data.
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.
This week: creating a role-playing video game in a single day with AI, casting doubt on rocket exhaust casting shadows, and admitting that those cookie banners are really annoying.
This week: we revisit a pair of old favorites, question the intelligence of the morons of Mordor, and desperately try to halt the unstoppable march of a `forEach` loop.
New year, same old reliable newsletter. This week, we're recapping the top five blogs from last year and sharing some fresh questions and links.
This week: we discuss how to modernize alerting and incident management, ride a reindeer, and adopt a developer tool.
This week: building an AI platform for business with IBM, refusing to answer questions on a jury, and the fastest way to String in C++.
This week: Will GenAI generate productivity? Does spite look better than a PhD on your resume? How can you post an email address on the internet without bots getting ahold of it?
This week: discussing inference-as-a-service on the edge, preventing your code form being used as training data, and writing clean code to reduce cognitive load on developers.
This week: how and why developers are changing jobs, whether you can gamble with stolen money, and why text embeddings matter.
This week: what you need (besides AI) to improve productivity, forcing diplomats to pay back rent, and the downsides of mobile-first web design.
This week: how to integrate an AI tool into your existing workflow, advise PhD candidates smarter than you, and run neural networks in your browser.
This week: Can infrastructure-as-code be made simpler? Why are blood iron measurements different in your right and left hands? Should academic disciplines have an expiration date?
This week: we're looking back at 15 years of Stack Overflow with a snazzy poster, thinking of critiquing our skip-level boss, and understanding why open source wins.
