Three stories | A safer language in the kernel's network path It took five years of patches, three rewrites and one long argument about memory safety. Here is what went in and what comes next.
Systems Weekly · 11 min | | The first open model that beats the closed ones on real tasks Not on benchmarks, on messy multi step agent work. The scaling laws still hold, but the open models caught up faster than anyone expected.
Model Notes · 8 min | | Why the old database won (and what's next) Documents, vectors, queues and search all live in one place now. The many databases story looks like overkill in hindsight.

Quick hits | Tool: Gooseneck An open source coding agent that lives in your terminal. | | Release: a JS runtime adds a built-in object storage client Plus native HTML streaming and faster cold starts. | | Deep dive: how a code index really works A long engineering post that finally explains the embedding pipeline. | | Fun: a kanban board in one HTML page No build step, no framework, and it's been making the rounds. |
