Microsoft Bought GitHub for $7.5 Billion and Has Been Slowly Wrecking It Ever Since
Linus built Git in 10 days. GitHub became where open source lives. Then Microsoft paid $7.5B, killed Atom, trained Copilot on your code, corrupted main branches with a merge queue bug, and folded the whole thing into CoreAI. Here's the full story.

Python's frozendict Is Finally Happening — And It's More Important Than You Think
Python 3.15 ships a built-in frozendict — hashable, O(1) lookups, order-preserving, thread-safe by design. Here's the full technical picture: the 14-year history, how hashing works, what it unlocks for lru_cache and free-threaded Python, and every sharp edge you need to know before you use it.

r/programming Just Banned LLM Discussions. I Understand Why. I Still Disagree with it.
The largest programming community on Reddit banned all LLM content for April. The frustration behind the decision is real. The decision itself is a mistake. Here's the full picture: what the ban covers, why it happened, what the data says, and where I actually land on AI as a coding tool.
