Ask HN: Tired of all the AI, what other cool tech is out there? (ycombinator.com)
Lately, I feel like I’m drowning in AI news. Every newsletter I’m subscribed to (engineering, product, or just general tech news) is about the latest AI tool, model, wrapper, or integration.

Retool Agents (retool.com)
The AI industry has invested $1 trillion to build the most sophisticated reasoning engines in human history. Yet today, we use them as glorified writing assistants — copy-pasting their output into the actual systems where work happens. This isn’t AI’s failure. It’s ours.

Failed Backup Server Build (wordpress.com)
When you read my blog articles and stuff – you may get the idea that everything I do – just happens to be right and that I succeed at every attempt. This article is here to remind you that I also often fail trying to do what was suppose to be great ‘on paper’ before doing it. Some call it experience … but the problem with experience is that you get it just after you needed it.

The two types of open source (filiph.net)
The software world tends to view open source as some kind of a boolean flag. A library either is open source or it isn’t. Is that piece of code open source? Yes? Ok.

Avoid MinIO: update stripping community edition of UI features (reddit.com)
I noticed today that my MinIO docker image had been updated and the UI was stripped down to just an object browser. After some digging I found this disgusting PR that removes away all the features in the UI. 110k lines effectively removed and most features including admin functions gone. The discussion around this PR is locked and one of the developers points users to their commercial product instead.
