- A poor man’s API
-
Creating a full-fledged API requires resources, both time and money. You need to think about the model, the design, the REST principles, etc., without writing a single line of code. Most of the time, you don’t know whether it’s worth it: you’d like to offer a Minimum Viable Product and iterate from there. I want to show how you can achieve it without writing a single line of code.

- Introducing Claude Opus 4.5
-
We give prospective performance engineering candidates a notoriously difficult take-home exam. We also test new models on this exam as an internal benchmark. Within our prescribed 2-hour time limit, Claude Opus 4.5 scored higher than any human candidate ever1.
- This result was using parallel test-time compute, a method that aggregates multiple “tries” from the model and selects from among them. Without a time limit, the model (used within Claude Code) matched the best-ever human candidate.

Interesting thoughts. I need to check how one can create features in one’s crate.

A review by my friend Vlad of a book by my friend Denis. Just love it!
PS: if the review is very positive, it probably because the book is great.

We could devise an expression similar to "you break it, you pay it": "you fork it, you maintain it". So far, the maintenance has been going steadily, but I wonder how long it will last.

The analysis is sound. The rest looks like a tricky advertisment for Ducku. It might be an interesting tool, though, especially if it can be extended. Note that the license is not Open Source according to the definition. However, for all intent and purposes, you’re allowed to use it inside your own company.
