AI Composer is coming to Magento Page Builder this week!
✅ Clickable history to revert degradation
✅ AI chooser to switch to "better" model
☑️ Attachments to provide example
For now history is not persisted between page reloads. I think it's not needed for real usage.

The biggest myth in the #Magento ecosystem is that you need to rip out Magento’s entire brilliant JavaScript architecture to get good performance. #Hyvä built a business on that myth. Thousands of merchants paid €1,000 for the free open-source Magento code fork to believe it.
Grok 4.3 is still an early beta that will improve almost every day, but try it out!
We will publish release notes as we fix bugs and add functionality.
Go (Golang) Roadmap for Backend Engineers,
Who Want to Ship Fast:
1. Master the Basics : Syntax, variables, loops, functions, packages & modules
2. Understand Go’s Real Power : Structs, interfaces, composition & embedding
3. Master Pointers : Learn how they work, when to use them, and why they matter
4. Goroutines & Channels : The real reason people choose Go → master concurrency here
5. Error Handling : Learn proper error wrapping, custom errors & context
6. Build CLI Tools : Use → flag, cobra or urfave/cli,
make something useful
7. Work with Data : Files, JSON, YAML, HTTP clients & basic APIs
8. Build REST APIs : Use Gin or Fiber + proper routing, middleware & validation
9. Advanced Concurrency : Worker pools, pipelines, fan-in/fan-out, rate limiting
10. Database Layer : PostgreSQL + GORM or sqlx + proper connection pooling
11. Testing & Quality : Unit tests, table tests, benchmarks & integration tests
12. Production Ready : Docker, logging, graceful shutdown, config management, observability
Bonus Steps:
- Read Go source code of popular packages
- Build 3 real projects (Auth service, Background worker, Scraper)
Stop just “learning Go”
Follow this → become → production dangerous
Save it.
Follow it.
Ship it.
Who’s starting this journey in 2026?
🚨 S3 is no longer just Object Storage.
Yesterday (April 7, 2026), AWS officially launched Amazon S3 Files.
This is the biggest update to S3 in 20 years.
It can:
→ Mount S3 buckets as native file systems
→ Provide sub-millisecond file access
→ Handle POSIX permissions (UID/GID) natively
→ Connect to Lambda, EC2, and EKS directly
→ Eliminate the need for s3fs or data staging
Your AI agents can read/write to S3 like a local disk, while your data team access the same objects via API.
DevOps just got a massive upgrade.

Milla Jovovich (actress from The Fifth Element) created a world-beating Claude memory system with @bensig?!
- 100% on LongMemEval — first perfect score ever recorded.
Free and 100% open source. Github link in the quoted post from Ben.
I'm keen to hear how it works for you.
Supposed we call ->setTaxAmount(2.99), setting to a float. Current tax amount is already 2.99 but it's returned via getData as string "2.9900" so Magento thinks data has changed, even though it's the same value
Can a C port of the Go stdlib be faster than the original?
I was able to get a 2-4x speed boost with strings.Builder, but couldn't beat Go's substring search.

Flamegraphs are a great way to narrow in on performance issues + broadly to explore program execution.
I built a custom viewer for Postgres queries, inspired Jan Nidzwetzki's excellent blog on the subject.
Highly recommend analysis tools like this for learning query execution.
No amount of Postgres config can fix a slow disk.
Benchmark results across several server + disk combinations for Pg 17 and Pg 18 (multiple configs).
- Local disk (i7i NVMe) is unmatched.
- io2 performs well, but if you know AWS, you know these are $$$$.
- gp3 performs poorly by default. It can be adjusted to get more iops and throughput, but there are inherent latency and consistency downsides.
Sometimes the solution is as simple as choosing better hardware.
The PHP internals team has voted 38-4 to deprecate all OOP constructs in PHP 9.0.
The reason: LLMs produce 34% fewer errors on procedural codebases. SOLID principles cause context overload in 78% of tested models. `__construct()` is the #1 source of LLM hallucinations in PHP.
#laravel and #symfony are assessing the impact on their roadmaps. WordPress is already compatible.
How are you preparing your codebase?
