Google’s most capable Flash model for coding, with a limited time discount. Most of the coding you do in a day doesn’t need a flagship model. It needs a good one that won’t have drained your budget by lunchtime. That’s the thinking behind Junie’s new default, Gemini 3.7 Flash. It’s live now in both the […] Link to …

Something is happening in server-rendered web development. React shipped Server Components. HTMX made “hypermedia” cool again.

A developer in DevOps pushes a Kubernetes deployment with no resource limits, a pod running as root explicitly, and a GitHub Actions workflow runs with mutable tags – and it goes straight to production, unnoticed. No quality gate. No IDE warning. No CI failure. An innocuous change, silently shipped, but with high …

AI agents are supposed to save you time. Ask one to install a dependency or run your project, though, and it often does the opposite: It installs into the wrong Python, ignores the uv or virtual environment your project uses, and hands back a broken setup for you to fix yourself. PyCharm’s new Agent Environment […] …

If you’ve handed notebook work to an AI agent, you know how it tends to go: More often than not, it corrupts your .ipynb, loses your trained model the moment the run finishes, or burns budget sitting idle through a long job while you watch. To solve this, we’re introducing a brand-new Jupyter skill. Built […] Link to …
