Rust gives you a productivity boost once the codebase no longer fits in your head, CSS apparently powers elevators now, and JavaScript Promises get the calm, thorough treatment they always deserved. Zed ships Claude Code (you were loud, they listened), while Fresh 2.0 grabs Vite and sprints into beta. Meanwhile, senior devs sling 2.5x more AI-generated code than juniors—possibly because they’ve outsourced their imposter syndrome to agents (just don’t build multi-agent Rube Goldberg machines, Walden says). Need 101+ AI blueprints? Richard and Andrea brought the catalog. Regex gets set operations, media transcoding sneaks into pure TypeScript, and Terminals everywhere are evolving: bookmarkable Zellij sessions, web-based Termix, and a vibe-driven editor experiment.
Also: a post-mortem of a UI library (always good archaeology), accurate Unicode text lengths (your “length” validation was lying), beacons that say goodbye politely, and a reminder that PostgreSQL can go toe-to-toe with your over-engineered Elasticsearch plan. Plus: pair programming in Hopp, rendering big lists with react-window, agents in the cloud, and 500+ agent project ideas if you still think you’re late.
