Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Just a little food for thought... If you use the new Mavrick OS on a MAC do you like it? or hate it? Why and Why not? I would like to hear how software developers feel about this.

Jack, I haven't tried Mav yet but am excited both about it and the strategy behind it. What are your thoughts about it? I look forward to this discussion.
Jack, How are your explorations into Mavrick coming along? I have a 2008 MacBookPro running 10.6.8. I'm thrilled to see that I can switch to Mavrick since 10.6.8 was the terminal OS supported by this hardware. I'm very interested to hear what you've learned ... and others here at Codetown! All the best, Michael Levin

Hi Jack - I am considering loading Mavericks onto my '08 MacBook Pro. I wonder whether it will run efficiently. Any ideas? /Mike

Vue Router 5.0 has integrated unplugin-vue-router into its core, enhancing file-based routing and TypeScript support. This transition release boasts no breaking changes, simplifies dependencies, and introduces experimental features like data loaders and improved editor tooling. Ideal for Vue.js developers, it positions itself as a bridge to the upcoming ESM-only version 6.
By Daniel CurtisThis conversation explores why generative AI is not just another automation layer but a shift into autonomy. The key idea is that we cannot retrofit AI into old procedural workflows and expect it to behave. Once autonomy is introduced, systems will drift, show emergent behaviour, and act in ways we did not explicitly script.

Google has enhanced its Gemini CLI extension, Conductor, by adding support for automated reviews. The company says this update allows Conductor "to go beyond just planning and execution into validation", enabling it to check AI-generated code for quality and adherence to guidelines, strengthening confidence, safety, and control in AI-assisted development workflows.

Adidas engineers describe shifting from a centralized Infrastructure-as-Code model to a decentralized one. Five teams autonomously deployed over 81 new infrastructure stacks in two months, using layered IaC modules, automated pipelines, and shared frameworks. The redesign illustrates how to scale infrastructure delivery while maintaining governance at scale.
