Our team has been putting a lot of thought into how AI will shape our industry and @joshuayoes.com put together a great article with some great insights!

Look ma, I'm on the company blog!

You Built an App This Weekend. Now What? AI got you 80% of the way there, and now you’re stuck.

Our team knows how to use AI.

More importantly, we know when it's important to step in.

Compliance, security, performance… the last 20% is where a seasoned engineer becomes critical.

Our own @joshuayoes.com recently wrote about this and it's worth the read 👇

I've known about the maxWorkers trick for a while, but a few months ago I sat down to dig into *why* it fixes things. This was a fun experimental set up. and if you are sick of blogs about AI, this one has none of that, so you may find it refreshing lol

Fix Flaky Jest Tests in CI with maxWorkers (and why it works) When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time across the street at my grandparents’ house. I remember my grandfather picking apples from the tree…

Flaky Jest tests in CI, but everything passes locally?

That’s often not a “bad test” problem, it’s Jest workers eating all your memory.

@coolsoftware.dev shows how to fix it (and why it works)
