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.

Uber has open-sourced uForwarder, a push-based Kafka consumer proxy built to handle trillions of messages and multiple petabytes of data daily. The system introduces context-aware routing, head-of-line blocking mitigation, adaptive auto-rebalancing, and partition-level delay processing to improve scalability, workload isolation, and hardware efficiency in large-scale event-driven microservices.

TSSLint 3, the lightweight TypeScript linting tool by Johnson Chu, enhances performance with a reduced dependencies and improved migration paths from legacy linters. As a spiritual successor to TSLint, it offers near-instant diagnostics and fixes, leveraging native Node support for .ts imports. Enhanced developer tooling and a new TSL compatibility layer simplify linting in large-scale projects.

This article presents a least-privilege AI Agent Gateway that places clear controls between AI agents and infrastructure. Agents do not access infrastructure APIs directly. Instead, every request is validated, authorized using policy as code with Open Policy Agent (OPA), and executed in short-lived, isolated environments, with built-in observability using OpenTelemetry.

We first discussed the problems of monolithic enterprise software and how to use microservices to evolve them to enable fast flow - the ability to achieve rapid software delivery.

Anthropic research shows developers using AI assistance scored 17% lower on comprehension tests when learning new coding libraries, though productivity gains were not statistically significant. Those who used AI for conceptual inquiry scored 65% or higher, while those delegating code generation to AI scored below 40%.
