Searching for new talents. #java #node #testing #angular. Drop me a msg. Juniors are welcome !

Incredible. A King Kong drone show is one of the coolest things I’ve seen this year.

Instead of watching a 2-hour movie, watch this video break down how AI is about to reshape jobs, money, and power over the next decade.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA: “every company in the world needs to have an open claw strategy. an agentic systems strategy. this is the new computer.” wild to hear.

Microsoft just changed the game 🤯 They open-sourced a tool that converts literally any file into clean markdown for LLMs in under 60 seconds. - Converts 10+ file formats out of the box. - Run via command line, Python API, or Docker. - Built-in MCP server for direct Claude Desktop integration. 100% open source.

Jensen Huang just explained why every company cutting engineers over AI is asking the entirely wrong question. Huang: “People say, I don’t need software engineers because apparently coding is going to be automated.” That was the narrative. Here is what Huang actually did. Huang: “I’ve given AIs to every one of my software engineers and hardware engineers and engineers period. 100% of NVIDIA has AI assistants, AI coders, and they’re busier than ever.” Not fewer engineers. Not smaller teams. Busier than ever. That is the line most companies are getting completely wrong right now. They hear “AI can write code” and immediately start cutting headcount. Huang did the opposite. He armed everyone. Huang: “And so the question is, what is the task versus what is the job? No different than a financial analyst; the task is mess around with spreadsheets, but the job is to make financial advice. The job is to help a customer.” Writing code was always the task. It was never the job. The job is architecture. Knowing what to build. Why it matters. How it fits into a system that actually creates value. Code is the execution layer between the idea and the outcome. Nothing more. When you automate that layer, you don’t eliminate the engineer. You eliminate the bottleneck between what they can envision and what they can ship. The companies using AI to cut headcount are optimizing for cost. The companies using AI to multiply output are optimizing for territory. Nvidia chose territory. Every engineer at the most valuable semiconductor company on Earth now operates with an AI assistant. Not a pilot program. Not an experiment. Company-wide. Every function. Every team. And the result is not less work. It is more work. Faster. At a scale that was physically impossible twelve months ago. The companies that understand the difference between eliminating engineers and unleashing them will build what comes next. The ones that don’t will watch their best talent walk out the door to the ones that did.

The Thing (1982) recreated with Pingu. A crossover that never stops being funny.

Software engineers in 2019: → Big O → design patterns → system architecture → microservices → Kubernetes Software engineers in 2026: → context window → tokens → prompting → model selection → evals 🫠

Descent turns 30 years old today! This innovative 3D shooter will actually play on a 486 with 4MB of RAM - talk about efficient memory usage! (I tried it)

Every Node.js developer has lost a background job to a server restart. We just open-sourced @platformatic/job-queue, a new queue library built for reliability from day one. Deduplication, retries, request/response, graceful shutdown. All out of the box. 🧵👇

@e_maleix @marc_krenn @badlogicgames @mitsuhiko @steipete We would be super happy to offer our venue for this hackathon

@marc_krenn @badlogicgames @mitsuhiko @steipete Maybe @Uter1007 is up for it?

Anyone interested in hosting an OpenAI-backed meetup or hackathon in Vienna? (@badlogicgames @mitsuhiko @steipete you're all super well connected in Vienna's tech scene – RT appreciated, thanks!)

@dhh So cool that more and more are switching!

I really haven't thanked Apple enough for leading me to Linux. I mean that with zero irony and zero shade. This has been one of the top five quests of my career. And I'd never had pursued it if they hadn't turned into The Navy. Thank you, Captain Cook! 🙏

We built Upright to replace Pingdom at 37signals for monitoring all our services, and now we've open-sourced it too. Global checks, playwright smoke tests (with video recording!), detailed uptime tracking, and feeding into Prometheus + Grafana. Enjoy! dev.37signals.com/introducing-up…

"Bitcoin wastes energy!" In Finland, Bitcoin mining is actually replacing oil and gas heating. I investigated these secretive projects... and I was amazed. Not only do miners warm these snowy towns but they also balance the energy grid 🤯 Watch and see for yourself:

"the people who struggle with coding agents are those who try to push their way too hard. partially why I find coding with agents easy is that I've led engineering teams before". this is a unique view on AI coding, that to maximize your output you have to "let go" a bit and accept that the way AI will build the project might not be 100% aligned with your way, it might not even be 100% correct, but it will push the project forward. and if you realize later that you don't like an approach, you can always go back to it later and iterate over it. so there's not always an absolute total gain, but the overall performance is what matters in the end.

AI agents can write code, send emails, and make phone calls. But they still can't transact. Today we're fixing that. Releasing a new set of tools that give agents native access to the Lightning Network: lnget for automatic L402 payments, MCP for node operations, remote signing for key isolation, and scoped credentials for spending control. The machine-payable web starts now. And bitcoin makes it possible. ⚡🦞 lightning.engineering/posts/2026-02-…

@thekitze @thefubhy Hey guys, sorry but this week we are already too busy (nodejs Meetup). Let me know for the next event with longer time to plan ! Cheers

@thefubhy @Uter1007 tnx man!!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL we're doing our first ever @tinkererclub meetup in vienna 🇦🇹 on tuesday @ 5 pm the @openclaw meetup is full, but many ppl still wanna hang out with ppl who tinker with openclaw, ai, self hosting, local llms, etc. so this is the perfect opportunity 🦞😜 RVSP here 👇 luma.com/6pj72k6f

Bitcoin is a neutral, open-source public utility. Like fire, water, or the internet. It is not a person. It is not an institution. It has no secrets. Corrupt people do not get to rob humanity of our chance to fix the mess we inherited. Bitcoin is the solution, not the problem.
