This month we'll meet at First Magnitude Brewery and have a relaxed "Open Spaces" style meeting. What is Open Spaces? That's inspired by the formal Open Spaces approach where the subjects that are most interesting get discussed. In our case, we have one member who just finished two smartphone apps, so those case studies are very interesting candidates for discussion. We have another member who is working with a startup that is adding lots of features to their website practically real time. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
First Magnitude has a big, open courtyard in back, so look for me and bring whatever you'd like to support your talk. Digital is great, too!
FYI, GatorJUG has one ticket to Open Source Bridge to raffle off. It's a fantastic conference. We also may have discounts available to OSCON.
Hope to see you there. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

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.

Tailwind CSS version 4.2.0, released on February 18, 2026, includes a webpack plugin for streamlined integration and four new color palettes. It expands logical property utilities and improves recompilation speed by 3.8x. This update is particularly beneficial for teams on existing projects and those developing multilingual applications.

Cloudflare and ETH Zurich highlight how AI-driven crawler traffic challenges traditional caching in CDNs and databases. They propose AI-aware strategies including separate cache tiers, adaptive algorithms, and pay-per-crawl models to balance performance for human users and AI services while maintaining cache efficiency and system stability.

GitHub has just announced the availability of custom images for its hosted runners. They've finally left the public preview phase that started back in October behind them. This feature will enable teams to use a GitHub-approved base image and then construct a virtual machine image that really meets their workflow requirements.

Alex Good discusses the fragility of modern cloud-dependent apps and shares a roadmap for "local-first" software. By leveraging a Git-like DAG structure and Automerge, he explains how to move from brittle client-server models to resilient systems where data lives on-device. He explores technical implementation, rich-text merging, and how this infrastructure simplifies engineering workflows.

Agent workflows make transport a first-order concern. Multi-turn, tool-heavy loops amplify overhead that is negligible in single-turn LLM use. Stateful continuation cuts overhead dramatically. Caching context server-side can reduce client-sent data by 80%+ and improve execution time by 15–29% .
