One thing I've realized: building an AI demo is easy. Building a reliable, secure, and observable AI system is where the real engineering begins.
Huge shoutout to the teams behind Hermes and Langfuse for making experimentation and production deployments much smoother.
Been experimenting with Hermes by @NousResearch while building and deploying autonomous agents for our organization, and I've learned a lot along the way.
Beyond getting agents to work, the real challenge has been making them production-ready:
• Agent architecture & workflows
• Security guardrails
• Cost optimization & budgets
• Observability with Langfuse
@langfuse has been especially valuable for tracing agent behavior, debugging , monitoring costs, and understanding how agents make decisions.
This is something I’ve been noticing a lot lately.
A lot of engineers are working very hard… but still not growing.
And it’s confusing, right?
You’re putting in the hours.
You’re doing your tasks properly.
Deadlines are being met.
Manager is also happy.
Then why does it feel like nothing is really changing?
I think the problem is, most of us confuse being busy with actually growing.
In a job, it’s very easy to stay occupied the whole day. Meetings, tickets, small fixes, some feature work… the day just gets over. You feel tired, so it must have been productive.
But if you look back after 6 months, what really changed?
Did your thinking improve?
Did you learn something new that actually makes you better?
Did you take ownership of something bigger?
Or did you just get better at doing the same kind of work faster?
This is a hard question to ask yourself.
Because being busy feels safe. Growth feels uncomfortable.
Real growth usually comes when you do things that are slightly outside your comfort zone. Taking ownership of a feature end to end. Understanding how the system works beyond your task. Asking questions even if you feel a little stupid. Trying something new even if you might fail.
Most people avoid this phase. Not intentionally, but because it’s easier to just keep doing what is already working.
And slowly, they get stuck.
If you’re early in your career, this matters a lot.
Don’t just aim to be the person who completes tasks.
Try to become the person who understands the problem.
There’s a big difference.
One keeps you busy.
The other actually grows your career.
Just something I’ve been thinking about lately.
Curious if others feel this too.
@rapidobikeapp customer support is extremely disappointing. I raised a complaint after a terrible experience, and there has been zero response so far. This level of disregard for customers is unacceptable. If this is how issues are handled, it seriously hurts trust in the brand.
@GithubProjects This is genuinely impressive. I was building an application to test real devices using the Appium-MCP server, and this completely removes the biggest bottleneck in that workflow. Kudos to the developer 🙌
If you’re applying to @CloudflareDev (or anywhere else), listen up.
I’ve been hiring non-stop for 15 months. Here are 6 tips to make your application stand out & your interviews more impactful:
If you're a developer, trust me, this is for you.
These are and gonna be the best tech in 2026:
-@opencode: A coding agent that works in Terminal, IDE, and it's so good.
-@tan_stack: The best ecosystem for frontend, if you hate or want an alternative to Nextjs, they have TansStack Start you can deploy it on @Netlify, @Cloudflare not a locked framework :)
-@convex: One of the best and modern backend framework out there, and it's also self-hosted
-@shadcn: The godfather of UI libraries, I think he doesn't need an explanation.
-@autumnpricing: The fastest way ever to setup Stripe in your projects and start getting payments
-@better_auth: My favorite auth library now.
-@clerk or @WorkOS if you're lazy and want a fast auth with so cool features out of the box that you don't want to manage yourself
-@polar_sh: Since Stripe acquired lemonsqueezy and killed it, this is the best alternative in the market now
-@tembo: Your way to go for code review, the team is cooking, I've talked to @connorpaton about something and found out they are ahead
-@Sentry: This is a must for every project, to catch bugs and fix them, maybe be smart and use it with @tembo
-@appwrite: Another cool backend framework and ecosystem to build your full-stack apps
-@firecrawl: The best and fastest scrapper out there, and I really bet o it.
-@ExaAILabs: Best search API for agents and modern apps
-@expo: My way to go for mobile apps, I used it and from day one, I really understood 90% of the framework, Btw, I have an app on Google play and Apple store.
-@mintlify: I will never build a docs and there's mintlify.
Please share yours in the comments if I missed it, I would like to learn new stuff 👇
If you’re building AI systems in 2025, there are only two tools worth learning: LangGraph and n8n.
The choice you make here will define how far you can actually scale.
Here’s everything you need to know (and what nobody is telling you):
