QA software testing: tools, automation, and best practices

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

This guide explains core QA testing concepts, where automation fits, and how continuous testing reduces defects and post-release cost. It outlines benefits (cost reduction, performance, higher quality), strategy considerations, and when outsourcing QA can help scale. For backend/data teams, the emph...

Inside AI coding agents: supervisors, tools, and sandboxed execution

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

Modern coding agents wrap multiple LLMs: a supervisor decomposes work and tool-using workers edit code, run commands, and verify results in loops. They operate either locally with OS-level permissions or in sandboxed cloud containers preloaded with your repo to run tests and linters safely. Effectiv...

On-device LLMs: running models on your phone

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A hands-on guide shows how to deploy and run a compact LLM directly on a smartphone, outlining preparation of a small model, on-device runtime setup, and practical limits around memory, thermals, and latency. For backend/data teams, this validates edge inference for select tasks where low latency, p...

Track Windsurf Editor updates via its public changelog

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

Windsurf maintains a public changelog for its AI-powered editor, which is the canonical place to see recent fixes and feature changes. Treat this as the source for planning rollouts that may affect coding assistance, editor behavior, and integrations. Establish a lightweight review-and-test step bef...

CodeRabbit report: Don’t auto-approve AI-generated PRs

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A video summary of CodeRabbit’s recent report cautions against rubber-stamping AI-authored pull requests from tools like Claude, Cursor, or Codex. The core guidance is to treat AI changes as untrusted code: require tests, run full CI, and perform normal, skeptical review. Label AI-originated PRs and...

Tutorial: Generate a static site in Google AI Studio and deploy to Hostinger with a custom domain

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A step-by-step video shows how to use Google AI Studio to generate a simple website, export the code, deploy it to Hostinger, and map a custom domain. The workflow demonstrates prompt-driven code generation for static HTML/CSS/JS and a basic hosting setup without a framework.

From “AI agency in 24 minutes” to an internal AI MVP

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A short video demonstrates standing up a minimal AI service in about 24 minutes by scoping a single use case and wiring an LLM-backed workflow end-to-end. For teams, the practical takeaway is to time-box a thin slice, use off‑the‑shelf components, and ship a measurable demo with basic instrumentatio...

Hands-on demo: Coding with GLM 4.7 for AI-in-the-loop development

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A community video shows using GLM 4.7 to write and iterate on code, highlighting a practical generate-run-fix loop and the importance of grounding the model with project context. While there are no official release notes in the source, the workflow demonstrates how to use an LLM as a coding assistan...

NotebookLM adds structured data tables; Gemini 3 upgrade reported

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

Two creator videos report that Google NotebookLM now supports structured data tables and has been upgraded to Gemini 3. If accurate, this should improve table-aware reasoning and make it easier to analyze spreadsheets/CSVs directly inside NotebookLM; confirm details in official docs before relying o...

Prioritize small, fast LLMs for production; reserve frontier models for edge cases

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A recent analysis argues that fast, low-cost "flash" models will beat frontier models for many production workloads by 2026 due to latency SLOs and total cost. For backend/data engineering, pairing smaller models with retrieval, tools, and caching can meet quality bars for tasks like SQL generation,...

GLM-4.7: free in-browser access to a strong open model

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

A new GLM-4.7 model is being promoted as open-source and usable free in the browser with no install. It’s a low-friction way to trial an alternative LLM for coding and backend automation, but you should verify license, data handling, and performance before relying on it.

Speculative decoding: 3x faster LLM serving with a draft-and-verify path

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-25 Daily

Speculative decoding runs a small draft model to propose tokens and uses the main model to verify them, keeping outputs identical to baseline while cutting latency. Expect up to ~3x speedups when the draft model’s proposals have high acceptance; tune draft size and propose steps to hit the sweet spo...

MiniMax M2.1 targets open-source coding and agent workflows

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-24 Daily

MiniMax is preparing M2.1, an open-source model positioned for coding tasks and agentic workflows. Early previews suggest a near-term release; teams can plan evals and serving to compare it against current proprietary and open models for code generation and tool-using agents.

OpenAI hardens Atlas AI browser, but prompt injection remains

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-24 Daily

Reports say OpenAI added new defenses to its Atlas AI browser to counter web-borne security threats, including prompt injection. Security folks note this class of attack can’t be fully blocked when LLMs read untrusted pages, so isolation and least-privilege remain critical.

Claude Code v2.0.75 published without GitHub release notes

article Daily Digest calendar_today 2025-12-24 Daily

Anthropic’s Claude Code v2.0.75 is on npm but lacks a corresponding GitHub release/tag, so the /release-notes command only shows up to v2.0.74. This is a regression seen in prior versions and breaks standard changelog-based upgrade workflows. Treat 2.0.75 as untracked until release notes appear or p...
