We're all learning how to ship more side projects. If you're "in the bubble" it can feel like everyone is repo-maxxing. Shipping weekly. Spinning up agents to scaffold full apps overnight. New OSS dropped every Friday. The reality I see with most developers is much more normal: They have six or seven repos sitting in various states of half-attention. A side project from last year that still gets a
Hey dev.to community! I just launched CodeLens AI — an AI-powered code review tool that automatically reviews every pull request. Connect your GitHub repo Open a PR AI automatically reviews the code Detailed review comment posted on PR Bugs and logic errors SQL injection and security vulnerabilities Performance issues Code quality improvements Next.js + TypeScript NextAuth + GitHub OAuth Supabase
Why We Open-Sourced Our AI Safety Layer When we built the AI safety layer for As You Wish (AYW), we faced a choice: keep it proprietary or open-source it to help the community. Here's why we chose the latter (and why it made our platform stronger). If you're building AI-assisted development tools, you need: Input validation (sanitizing prompts, preventing injection) Output filtering (catching u
If you want to Automate GitHub PRs, the real goal is not just adding another bot comment to a pull request. The goal is to give reviewers the context they usually have to gather manually: who owns the service, whether it is deployed, whether basic repository standards are in place, and whether the change looks safe to merge. A useful AI pull request workflow can do exactly that. When a PR opens, i
Every distributed system you build is already taking a side in the CAP trade-off. The question is whether you made that choice deliberately or discover it during an incident. CAP states that a distributed system can guarantee at most two of three properties: Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance. The critical insight most teams miss — P is not optional. Networks fail. Pods crash. AZs
How I Used GitHub Actions to Auto-Publish to AMO on Every Release Manually uploading extension files to AMO (Mozilla's Add-On Observatory) is tedious. After the fifth time forgetting to increment the version number, I automated it with GitHub Actions. Here's exactly how I set up the pipeline for the Weather & Clock Dashboard extension. Trigger on new GitHub release Validate the manifest version
Em sistemas distribuídos modernos, garantir que todos os nós tenham exatamente os mesmos dados ao mesmo tempo pode ser caro, lento ou simplesmente inviável. É aí que entra o conceito de consistência eventual, um dos pilares fundamentais de arquiteturas escaláveis. O que é Consistência Eventual? Consistência eventual é um modelo de consistência onde, dado tempo suficiente e ausência de novas atuali
When people start working with high performance computing or parallel systems, “memory” often sounds like a background detail. It’s not. The way memory is structured can completely change how your applications behave, scale, and even fail. Let’s break it down in a practical way. ⸻ What is Shared Memory? In a shared memory system, all processors access the same memory space. Think of it
