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
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
If you inherited an OpenSearch deployment and you're now being asked to run agents on it, Q1 2026 has been unusually good news. OpenSearch 3.5 (February) and 3.6 (April) aren't incremental search improvements — they're a clear declaration of intent. "OpenSearch isn't trying to be a better Elasticsearch; it is focused on being the data layer on which AI applications are built." That's from the arti
At 100 million 768-dimensional embeddings, the gap between top-tier vector search tools isn't just measurable—it's existential. In our 6-month benchmark across 12 hardware configurations, FAISS 1.9 delivered 4.2x lower p99 latency than Chroma 0.6, while Pinecone 1.6 cost 11x more than self-hosted FAISS for equivalent throughput. Here's what the numbers actually say. What Chromium versions are ma
Your generic linter doesn't know the difference between a Server Component and a Client Component. MergeWell does. We've all been there. You open a pull request at 4 PM on a Friday. Your teammate glances at the diff, sees it's a Next.js change, and approves it — because honestly, who has the bandwidth to reason through every App Router edge case under deadline pressure? So you merge. And Saturday
