Weren't we supposed to be replaced by AI in 6 months in 2024 ? Instead, every dev I know is working HARDER than ever. The bar keeps moving up, new models drop every week, and we're somehow expected to stay healthy and get enough sleep. Where's all that free time?

JavaScript won the web. But more and more, when you peel back the covers, you see Rust 🦀 @francescociulla.bsky.social opened Day Two of CascadiaJS 2026 exploring why companies like Cloudflare and others are using Rust for performance-critical infrastructure, and where it fits alongside JavaScript.

We are hiring at Zerops! We are expanding the DevRel team and hiring for two critical roles: - Technical DevRel Engineer - Developer Advocate (Community Builder) 100% remote. Full descriptions are available at the link below. I'll go live later to talk about this

🎉It's launch day! Tech people, we have a problem. Everywhere I go (meetups, conferences, WhatsApp groups, team calls, podcasts), people hit me with the same fucking questions: “Is AI gonna replace us? Is it still worth being a developer?” I’m tired of it. 1/3

2026 is officially skyrocketing!🚀 - New Head of DevRel Role - Views up on YT + 4 weeks of scheduled content - Conference in India🇮🇳 I should break any record this year with 15-20 travels... and... I just got the news of a massive one I might go to in a month👀 Hints:🌉🕹️👾

The 2nd part of the Rust Crush Bootcamp is dropping today, 3 PM CET! 🦀 This one is practical. You’ll be building a game from scratch and see how Rust's syntax works under the hood. It's the best way to grasp the concepts. If you could build anything in Rust, what would it be?

If AI writes the code, why use a slow language just to abstract memory management? We accepted the performance hit for DX. But now that AI can write thousands of prod-ready lines instantly, the trade-off is dead. Why settle for slow software when AI handles the complexity?
