Marko, I noticed the sensor project ProSense has ended, or has it? I have worked with sensors including the SunSPOT. There's a lot of talk from some corners about SunSPOTs. What are a few of the most outstanding things you've learned so far? Best, Michael
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.

Ian Thomas shares a case study on embracing AI-native engineering within Meta’s Reality Labs. He explains the "Assess and Grow" framework, a maturity model designed to move teams from manual toil to AI-integrated innovation. He discusses real-world wins - including hitting 90% code coverage in record time - while addressing senior concerns like "code slop," review fatigue, and maintaining quality.

Bintrail is a recently introduced layer that brings point-in-time queries and row-history lookups to MySQL, the only major relational database lacking native temporal querying. Using indexed binlogs behind ProxySQL and without modifying MySQL or application code, Bintrail supports querying data as of a past timestamp and reviewing change history, primarily for recovery and audit scenarios.

J. Paul Reed discusses the "ironies of automation" - a 40 years-old concept now amplified by AI. He explains how advanced systems often make the human operator more crucial, not less, while simultaneously degrading the skills needed to intervene. Sharing real-world stories of "AI-fueled" incidents, he shares why over-reliance on AI can double recovery times and how to maintain resilience.
