Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
- What are your main interests in software development?
- right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.
well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
- Do you have a website?
- http://bit.ly/codeman
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Welcome to Codetown!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

InfoQ Reading List
C++26: Reflection, Memory Safety, Contracts, and a New Async Model
The C++26 standard draft is now complete, reports Herb Sutter, long-time C++ expert and former chair of the ISO C++ standards committee. The finalized draft introduces reflection, enhances memory safety without requiring code rewrites, adds contracts with preconditions and postconditions alongside a new assertion statement, and establishes a unified framework for concurrency and parallelism.
By Sergio De SimoneMeta Reports 4x Higher Bug Detection with Just-in-Time Testing
Meta introduces Just-in-Time (JiT) testing, a dynamic approach that generates tests during code review instead of relying on static test suites. The system improves bug detection by ~4x in AI-assisted development using LLMs, mutation testing, and intent-aware workflows like Dodgy Diff. It reflects a shift toward change-aware, AI-driven software testing in agentic development environments

A new blog from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation highlights a critical gap in how organizations are deploying large language models (LLMs) on Kubernetes: while Kubernetes excels at orchestrating and isolating workloads, it does not inherently understand or control the behavior of AI systems, creating a fundamentally different and more complex threat model.
By Craig RisiAnthropic Introduces Agent-Based Code Review for Claude Code
Anthropic has introduced a new Code Review feature for Claude Code, adding an agent-based pull request review system that analyzes code changes using multiple AI reviewers.
By Daniel DominguezPresentation: Speed at Scale: Optimizing the Largest CX Platform Out There
Matheus Albuquerque shares strategies for optimizing a massive CX platform, moving from React 15 and Webpack 1 to modern standards. He discusses using AST-based codemods for large-scale migrations, implementing differential serving with module/nomodule, and leveraging Preact to shrink footprints. He explains how to balance cutting-edge performance with strict legacy browser constraints.
