The core of the Atmosphere is using the PDS to store user's records, just like desktop apps use the filesystem.
Desktop apps interoperate using files. Atmosphere apps interoperate using repo records.
That's the ethos that I highly doubt will ever change.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

Mozilla Festival took place in Barcelona, and I really loved it.
It’s a conference about how we can all fix the Internet with Wikipedia, Tor, EFF, lawyers, and activists.
Compared to boring tech conferences, it was a real breath of fresh air. Highly recommend.

A lot of specialized open source models for engineering tools would be nice. Ideally, they could run locally.
Cursor—a tool company—getting into the model game is super interesting.
Purpose-built LLMs that are far superior at the job-to-be-done of the tool is a trend I'm sure we haven't seen the last of—especially from makers of tools for builders/creators.

I'm surprised by is how many people that I'm interviewing mentioning that they don't use coding agents due to cost for their side projects. There are in fact free agents. Amp Code has a free tier and at the moment you can use Grok fast, still for free on OpenCode and others.
