   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• ROI of AI Test Automation: A Calculation Framework for QA Leaders

  Katalon True Platform is designed to deliver returns across all four ROI categories through its unified architecture and six purpose-built AI agents, all orchestrated by the Katalon AI Assistant. The model is consistent throughout: AI proposes, humans approve. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

• Client-side semantic search for your static site

  The search box on the homepage now runs keyword, semantic, and hybrid search, with a toggle so you can compare and watch them disagree. Type pydub and flip to semantic mode to see it get the answer wrong; flip to hybrid to see it get it right again. The whole thing is a 4 MB lookup table, a tiny document index, and about 300 lines of dependency-free JavaScript, lazy-loaded only when you focus the search box so the... - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

• How to Pass AI Costs to Customers Without Losing Them

  Start tracking costs from day one with a tool like Tokonomics. Start charging when AI costs exceed 15% of revenue or when you see a clear 10x+ variance between your lightest and heaviest users. Early-stage startups can absorb costs temporarily for growth, but set the expectation early that AI features have usage-based pricing. - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

• JavaScript still can't ship a full-stack module

  While developing Wasp, a JS full-stack framework, we keep researching other ecosystems (Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.) and finding ways how they figured out developer productivity. We kept finding these reusable legos, so we gave them a name: "full-stack modules". Let's define what we mean by that exactly. - Source: dev.to / 19 days ago

• OpenTelemetry Journey #01 - Important concepts

  First of all, let's start with the basics. There are some important concepts to be clarified before we dive into the OpenTelemetry world. The vast majority of the naming conventions and concepts are from projects and papers that inspired OpenTelemetry, such as OpenTracing, OpenCensus and Dapper. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• OpenTelemetry Journey #00 - Introduction to OpenTelemetry

  OpenTelemetry it's a result from the merge of two important projects that are now archived: OpenTracing and OpenCensus. The project is incubated in Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and has a strong community behind it. The CNCF is part of the Linux Foundation and hosts critical components of the global technology infrastructure, including Kubernetes and Prometheus. Currently, OpenTelemetry is the second... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Distributed Tracing with OpenTelemetry - Part I

  OpenTelemetry was born from the merger of two other standards that decided to unify forces instead of competing with each other; these projects were OpenTracing and OpenCensus. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Tracing Gorm queries with OpenCensus & Google Cloud Tracing

  At incident.io we use gorm.io as the ORM library for our Postgres database, it's a really powerful tool and one I'm very glad for after years of working with hand-rolled SQL in Go & Postgres apps. You may have seen from our other blog posts that we're heavily invested in tracing, specifically with Google Cloud Tracing via OpenCensus libraries. A huge amount of our application's time is spent talking to Postgres... - Source: dev.to / about 4 years ago
