Developer Day was born out of the realization that there's a huge amount of development talent and experience spread across the country, and there's absolutely no need to spend a lot of money to get together and learn from each other. Furthermore, so many of the venues for assembling geeks are focused on a single technology. We need less specialization right now, and more places to talk to people for whom tools are tools, but tech is king. When you want to talk to Ruby geeks, head out to RubyFringe or Ruby Hoedown. When Java is on top, catch an NFJS, or JavaOne. But where are you to go when you just want to talk to and hear from people who are putting a bunch of technologies to use solving interesting problems?
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.

The recently released Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) aims to be a schema-aware alternative to JSON that significantly reduces token consumption at a similar level of accuracy. While the existence and importance of token saved depend on the data shape. some benchmarks show TOON may use in some cases 40% fewer tokens than JSON, possibly resulting in LLM and inference cost savings.

Cloudflare’s recent global outage, linked to a database update, caused widespread disruption and highlighted the risks of single-vendor reliance. While service was restored, the incident sparked discussions on the importance of multi-vendor strategies in tech. Cloudflare's CEO vowed to enhance system resilience, emphasizing that outages can impact even the largest providers.
