The CyberFold is a foldable clamshell cyberdeck that bears a striking resemblance to an oversized Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP. Inside is a surprisingly capable Linux computer, complete with a touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, stereo speakers, and a proper port selection.

Using a streamlined Linux setup with terminal-first tools, I focused on solving problems instead of fighting my tools. I'd catch the European team early, fix blockers like design assets or sponsor content, ship changes, and get feedback within hours.

Devnexus 2026 was held from March 4-6, 2026 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Key takeaways included: it's up to Java developers to fix enterprise AI; how to survive the AI uprising; building blocks for AI applications; how to manage an AI-driven manager; and how to improve your career.

Free open source software is fundamentally broken. In 2023, Denis Pushkarev, maintainer of the widely used core-js library, vented his frustration with the fact that users of his software seldom offer financial support, highlighting the disconnect between widespread dependency on open source and inadequate financial compensation for developers maintaining critical infrastructure.

Prerequisites This guide is for all Python users who want to grow their Python knowledge, get involved with the Python community, or explore new professional opportunities. Your level of experience with Python doesn't matter, and neither does whether you use Python professionally or as a hobbyist-regularly or only from time to time. If you use Python, you're a Python developer, and Python conferences are for Python developers!

If you've been programming for any number of years, you've pretty much lived through a bunch of hype cycles. Whether it's a new development environment, a new language, a new plugin, or some new online service with an oh-so-powerful time-saving API, it's all "revolutionary" and "world-changing," at least according to the PR reps hawking The Big New Thing. And then there's agentic AI coding. When a tool can help you do four years of product development in four days, the impact is world-changing.

Your coding apprentice can build, at your direction, pretty much anything now. The task becomes more like conducting an orchestra than playing in it. Not all members of the orchestra want to conduct, but given that is where things are headed, I think we all need to consider it at least.

AI is helping teams build software and tools faster than ever-but that doesn't mean we're building smarter. I've seen entire prototypes spin up in a day, thanks to AI coding assistants. But when you ask how they were built, or whether they're secure, you get a lot of blank stares. That's the gap emerging now, between what's possible with AI, and what's actually ready to scale.

Just as software finished eating the world, zero interest rates ended. Companies optimized for cash and slowed hiring. The market didn't shrink, but stopped growing at the breakneck pace we all expected. The result: a glut of entry level talent groomed for jobs that never materialized. This would explain a more competitive entry level market. But it doesn't explain the entry-level market shrinking, despite overall industry growth. In short: demand for senior talent is rising, but has fallen off a cliff for juniors.

Open-source AI coding tool OpenCode features a native terminal-based UI, multi-session support, and compatibility with over 75 models, including Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and local models. In addition to its CLI tool, OpenCode is also available as a desktop app and and an IDE extension for VS Code, Cursor, and other tools. OpenCode allows developers to use their existing subscriptions to paid services such as ChatGPT Plus/Pro, GitHub Copilot. Additionally, it includes a set of free models that can be used locally through LM Studio.
