The Best AI Articles Dev.to Won’t Show You

Dev.to's feed is broken. It never shows me posts I actually want to read. The search engine doesn’t help either.

I had a feeling there’s still good, advanced level content being published, buried under the clickbait and slop. So I made my own tool to find these hidden gems.

I use it daily to find recently published (last 24 hours), original, and insightful posts about AI and success. I usually end up with a couple of solid reads every day.

I’ll share the ones I like best here and update this page as I discover new ones.

Bookmark this page if you want to stay up to speed.

Disclaimer: I don’t endorse these posts. The opinions expressed belong to their authors. I just find them thought-provoking and worth reading.

Enjoy.

Trust the Server, Not the LLM: A Deterministic Approach to LLM Accuracy by @nodefiend Useful techniques for LLM output quality controls by grounding, verification and reduced degrees of freedom.
DeepSeekMath-V2: How far are we from true AGI when AI learns to self-negate? by @jensen_king_9fa3ffe58c0a1 Deepseek keeps exploring interesting ideas. This time around around two levels of supervision in order to force a model to do a good job when thinking through a problem.

I did check daily, but all I found was AI slop :(

Brainwash Your Agent: How We Keep The Memory Clean by @camel-ai This one is a real gem. Very practical and well written (but doesn't feel AI written) guide on context compaction, by people who are at the front of the field. Full of useful links.

The lumberjack paradox: From theory to practice by @sigje This post gave me some serious food for thought. We let AI read out code, documentation and specifically code samples "as is" and that's actually bad. "The lumberjack paradox" and other concepts the author mentions are also cool!
I Needed Date Math in Formulas, So I Built a Compiler (and Learned a Lot) by @brielov

This one is a realistic take about building something non-trivial for production with AI, but the most interesting and educational part is about how he went about designing the expression parser if you're into this kind of stuff.
Explainable Causal Reinforcement Learning for smart agriculture microgrid orchestration with ethical auditability baked in by @rikinptl

This one goes deep into ML but even for engineers such as myself, there is a lot to chew on. It's anchor in a real life system and provides an eye opening account of the different tradeoffs, challenges and solutions including many code snippets.

DeepSeek OCR in Automation Pipelines: Practical Engineering Insights and Integration Patterns by @alifar

When Deepseek OCR's paper landed, I was wondering what the hype is all about and what using it in real world scenarios would look like. This post takes a peek at that.
I'm Getting Serious Déjà Vu... But This Time It's Different by @michaelsolati
Nice opinion piece about how AI affects the software development job market.

The Shift Towards Agentic AI: What It Means for Developers by lofcz

While the title comes off a bit generic, the article itself has genuinely sharp insights and correctly calls out common pitfalls (and solutions) when implementing agents.
Context Engineering: The Critical Infrastructure Challenge in Production LLM Systems by siddhantkcode

This one goes deep on advanced ways to keep context lean and mean. It doesn’t give every detail, but it does link full access to the code, which is even better 😄
The Vibe Coding Trap: Why Conversational AI Makes Developers Slower by mechero22

This one’s a bit spicy, and I’m not fully onboard with all the claims it makes. But even if it rubs you the wrong way, it will definitely give you something to chew on.

Thanks for this, everybody upvote please!!

I experience a drastic decrease in my views since the last few weeks and I have a paid account here on Dev. I can assure that if the visibility does not come back this will be our last month having a paid account.
