Developer Builds Free, No-Login Age Calculator Using Vanilla JavaScript

A developer recently built a simple age calculator after finding existing online tools too complex, requiring sign-ups, or poorly optimized for mobile. The tool, hosted at calchub-calculators.netlify.app, is free to use and requires no account registration. Built using HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript without any frameworks, it calculates a user's exact age in years, months, and days from their birth date. The core logic compares the input birth date against the current date, handling month and day boundary cases programmatically. The project was completed in approximately two hours and is intended to remain free indefinitely.

Pune realtor's fort fall now suspected murder by fiancée and her partner

Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal died after falling at Lohagad Fort during a birthday trip, initially believed to be an accident. Investigators now suspect his death was a premeditated murder orchestrated by his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged partner, Chetan Chaudhary. Authorities claim the duo had carefully planned Ketan's killing in advance. The probe has also expanded to examine possible involvement of Siya's family, with financial disputes and family pressure cited as potential motives.

Why one engineer still chooses NGINX for high-traffic production over simpler alternatives

A software engineer deployed a production system on a single Hostinger KVM2 VPS with 2 vCPU and 8 GB RAM, successfully handling load tests of 2,500 requests per second with zero errors and a p99 latency of 308ms. The architecture placed NGINX as the sole internet-facing entry point, routing API traffic to an Express and Prisma container and frontend traffic to a Next.js container, both bound to localhost. NGINX's built-in rate limiting was highlighted as far more efficient than application-level alternatives, since rejected requests never reach Node.js, avoiding event loop and memory overhead. The engineer also used NGINX's proxy_cache_lock directive to prevent the thundering herd problem, ensuring only one upstream request fires on a cache miss while concurrent requests wait and are served from cache. A key configuration detail involved restoring real client IPs from Cloudflare headers to ensure per-user rate limiting worked correctly rather than targeting shared Cloudflare edge IPs.

How Developers Can Build Real AI Skills Beyond the Hype

AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT have become a routine part of software development, but merely using them does not make a developer truly AI-proficient. Experts argue that the real edge lies in mastering transferable skills such as prompt engineering, understanding large language models, and maintaining strong software engineering fundamentals. Developers are advised to treat AI as a collaborative pair programmer rather than an autopilot, always reviewing generated code for bugs, logic errors, and security flaws. Building hands-on projects and maintaining a public portfolio are recommended as the most effective ways to demonstrate practical AI capability. Staying consistent with learning, rather than chasing every new tool, is highlighted as the key to long-term relevance in an AI-driven industry.

The case involves an alleged killing between two individuals who were engaged to be married. Authorities are currently investigating the matter based on the details outlined in the complaint.

How One Developer Built a Multi-Tenant SaaS Using Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL RLS

A developer rebuilt their portfolio around deep technical case studies rather than generic project showcases, using a B2B inventory and POS SaaS called Äbasto as the centerpiece. The application is structured as a monorepo using pnpm workspaces, combining Next.js 16 on the frontend with NestJS 11 and PostgreSQL on the backend. To prevent data leaks between tenants, the system leverages PostgreSQL Row-Level Security, where a custom NestJS guard injects warehouse context into each database session via SET LOCAL commands. Dynamic subdomains are handled through a server-side proxy in Next.js that reads the Host header and rewrites routes internally, while JWT validation ensures users can only access their authorized subdomain. The platform also implements a subscription model with a three-day grace period to avoid abruptly cutting off client access upon plan expiration.

LiteLLM-Rust Cuts AI Gateway Overhead 150x, Making Agent Memory a Default Feature

LiteLLM-Rust, a Rust-based rewrite of the popular LiteLLM AI gateway, has reached production in 2026, reducing per-request overhead from approximately 7.5ms to just 0.05ms. The dramatic latency reduction also delivers 15x higher throughput and 11x lower memory usage under sustained load compared to the previous Python-based gateway. Previously, high gateway latency made persistent session memory economically impractical, forcing engineering teams to treat it as an optional or separate service using tools like Redis, Weaviate, and Postgres. With overhead now negligible, developers can enable structured session memory on every agent call by default, backed by a single Postgres store with pgvector, without running multiple synchronised services. The shift effectively repositions agent memory from a costly infrastructure add-on to a standard architectural primitive in AI application design.

AI Answer Engines Are Reshaping How Content Gets Discovered Online

The rise of AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity is fundamentally changing how people find information online, shifting discovery away from traditional search engines. Unlike conventional search, these tools synthesize and deliver direct answers, meaning a website can go entirely unvisited even as its ideas reach readers. Writer and technologist Ken W. Alger illustrated this shift by demonstrating that AI models could accurately define, attribute, and contextualize his original terminology — without ever rendering his website. This has given rise to the concept of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), which prioritizes conceptual clarity, consistent naming, and well-defined ideas over traditional tactics like keyword density and backlinks. The core argument is that in the AI discovery era, being understood and accurately represented by a model matters as much as ranking on a results page.

Tech Giants Launch Akrites Under Linux Foundation to Secure Open-Source Software

Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, AWS, and 15 other organizations launched Akrites on Thursday under the Linux Foundation to address AI-era vulnerabilities in critical open-source software. The initiative establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team to replace the fragmented approach where multiple organizations independently scan the same libraries, file duplicate vulnerability reports, and overwhelm maintainers. Akrites enforces a patch-first, disclose-second policy, holding findings confidential until fixes are tested, and provides fallback maintainer coverage for unmaintained projects. The effort is funded by Alpha-Omega, an OpenSSF project with an annual budget exceeding $7 million backed by the founding members. The coalition was formed in response to AI tools dramatically accelerating vulnerability discovery, with Endor Labs CEO Varun Badhwar noting thousands of AI-surfaced open-source flaws in recent months, fewer than 5% of which have been patched.

Waggy Labs releases Yumekit v0.5 with 51 components and 60 themes, no dependencies

Waggy Labs has released version 0.5 of Yumekit, its dependency-free web component UI toolkit, originally launched in beta in May. The update expands the library from 36 to 51 components, adding new layout, data, navigation, and utility elements such as a datagrid, paginator, popover, and drag-and-drop list. The toolkit now includes over 60 themes drawn from nine open-source design systems, all built directly into the library with no external stylesheets required. Yumekit works across web frameworks out of the box and can be loaded via CDN or installed through NPM. Waggy Labs developed the toolkit primarily for internal tooling and client projects, aiming to reduce CSS overhead and configuration time.

How to Prompt AI for Contrarian Content Angles That Drive Engagement

A piece published on DEV Community argues that AI-generated content tends to be safe, neutral, and forgettable because most users prompt tools like ChatGPT to summarize rather than to find friction points in an argument. The author draws on a 2012 Journal of Marketing Research study by Jonah Berger and Katherine Milkman, which found that high-arousal emotions such as surprise and contradiction make content significantly more shareable than agreeable, informative writing. The core claim is that large language models are trained to reward thoroughness and avoid controversy, making their default output structurally similar to countless other summaries. To counter this, the author proposes a specific prompt framework that instructs the AI to adopt a content strategist persona and extract viewpoints that run against widely held assumptions of a target audience. The goal, the author emphasizes, is not to manufacture outrage but to interrupt predictable reading patterns and produce angles that feel genuinely novel.

Zero Copy Explained: How ServiceNow Queries Live Data Without Duplication

Zero Copy is a data-access technique that allows systems to query and temporarily use external data without physically duplicating it, eliminating the need for traditional ETL pipelines. ServiceNow applies this through Virtual Data Fabric Tables, which fetch data on demand, hold it briefly in memory, and discard it once the user is done. The approach reduces storage overhead, removes the need for data syncing, and simplifies security management on the destination system. However, Zero Copy comes with notable trade-offs, including full dependency on source system uptime, potential latency issues, increased load on the source, and higher API costs from frequent live queries. Experts recommend using Zero Copy selectively, particularly when the risks and costs of duplicating data outweigh the drawbacks of live querying.

Why Feeding AI More Context Often Makes It Less Effective

A piece published on DEV Community argues that the common instinct to load AI systems with as much context as possible is counterproductive, comparing a bloated context window to a desk buried under irrelevant documents. The author identifies two key failure modes: the 'dump,' where all knowledge is poured into a single prompt diluting signal with noise, and the 'orphan,' where a well-written note exists but is never indexed or retrievable. As a solution, the author proposes the concept of a 'knowledge atom' — a minimal, singular, reusable unit capturing exactly one concept that remains stable as underlying AI models improve. The argument is that clean, findable knowledge atoms benefit more from model advances than any orchestration pattern, which tends to become obsolete within a quarter. The piece concludes that only a small amount of truly critical context should be loaded in every session, and it must be kept ruthlessly concise.

Air India Eyes Revival of International Flights as Gulf Tensions Subside

Air India is considering restoring some of its international flight services following an easing of tensions in the Gulf region. The airline had scaled back operations on certain international routes during the June to August period this year. The cutbacks were driven by airspace restrictions imposed over parts of the Middle East. Record-high international jet fuel prices during the same period further compelled the airline to reduce its services.
