Did you know OSCON is coming to Amsterdam this year? It's just a little more than a week away. You'll find a whole new set of speakers with an entirely different range of subjects from OSCON in Portland.
Time is of the essence, OSCON is only a couple weeks away! If you've decided that OSCON isn't in the cards for you this year, think again. We have a special OSCON Pavilion Plus Pass deal we wanted to share with you.
The OSCON Pavilion Plus Pass is your ticket to the OSCON experience without a strain on your budget.
Here's what you can do with your pass:
Visit the Sponsor Pavilion - Talk with OSCON exhibitors, test drive new tools, compare products, spend time with speakers and authors, and much more
Take part in two technical sessions. You get to choose two sessions from the full program which includes learning about microservices, Rails API's, concurrency in Python and many more.
Enjoy OSCON's extracurricular events like the Sponsor Pavilion Opening Reception and Ignite
Join in the all-important hallway track conversations. Meet, greet, and network with hundreds of like minds
There's a lot more that's included in the Sponsor Pavilion Plus Pass—check it out. OSCON happens 26-28 October. Sign up for your Pavilion Plus Pass (only €99) before we run out.
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.

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraAI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.

In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
