Code & Curiosity by Maximilian Schwarzmüller

There's been a debate (or "ragebait") on tech X about whether you should still read code. AI generated code, that is. So ... should you?

Fable 5 is back ... kind of. Maybe not really. I'm not sure I'll be able to use it. You may not be either.

Google is a big company. You can't miss that fact if you analyze their recent behavior regarding the Google workspace CLI...

Cloud providers are changing RAPIDLY. Because of AI, of course. They are offering more services, tackling new pillars and making deployments easier. We all benefit!

We have a new AI trend: Loop Engineering! Are you still writing prompts? You are so behind... 🤦

Vite (or, to be precise, VoidZero, the company behind Vite) is joining CloudFlare. Why? And what does that mean for web developers?

Should you switch from (web) dev to DevOps or Cybersecurity? That's a question I get quite a bit. Let me share my thoughts!

You probably heard about it: Some companies are AI tokenmaxxing. And now realizing that it's not a good idea. Who would've guessed :)

You see them almost every day: Strong statements about white collar jobs disappearing. It's really bad. And there are many reasons for those statements! Most of them have nothing to do with you!

We're seeing more and more (severe) supply chain attacks. That's horrible and obviously extremely dangerous. But it's only level 1...

Anthropic & SpaceX (xAI) agreed on a partnership. Anthropic leases Colossus 1 AND therefore can raise Claude Code usage limits. But there's more to it!

Do we have an OpenAI & Anthropic challenger? A better, cheaper LLM architecture that "solves" AI? Or maybe just some pointless hype?

There was a Vercel security incident. Some people were quick to bring up VPS as the solution. So ... should you switch from Vercel to a VPS?

The AI hype is real. The use you can get out of AI is, too. But companies are so afraid of missing out on AI that they're doing weird stuff just to NOT miss out...

We're not discussing JavaScript frameworks anymore. But do tech stack choices still matter? Or should we let the AI decide (or influence our decisions)?

Anthropic announced a new, non-public model that is more capable than ever, finding bugs and security vulnerabilities that existed for 27 years. It's kind of frightening...

We have to talk about AI. Again. I know. But I have some strong, mixed feelings about it.

Guillermo Rauch made an "interesting" post about how code is now no longer in the focus of developers. And how it was always wrong to glorify it. Yeah ... I don't fully agree...

AI companies like OpenAI are buying up open source tools. They have a strategy behind that. Maybe not one that will benefit the main users of those tools though.

There are many AI (coding) agents. Claude Code, Codex ... and many more. They're all great. And they all can actually do more than just coding. That's why the "PI" agent stands out!

With the rise of AI agents, CLIs, text input and text formats like markdown and JSON are becoming more important and useful than ever before (or at least since the ~80s). And for a good reason!

It's a ... difficult ... time for developers. Everything's changing quickly. There are people spreading fear. There are people spreading hope. There are challenges and opportunities. Yeah ... it's a lot!

Angular 2 was released in 2016. I released my first major course on Udemy about Angular exactly 10 years ago. Time to look back AND ahead!

OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot) had some pretty "intense" days. There's been (and still is!) lots of hype around it. Because it's the first (working) personal AI assistant. Still, I'm not really getting the hype...

Tailwind CSS is amazing library. It really is. I want it to succeed. But I'm not using for all my projects anymore.
