the at protocol is amazing. i've read a lot about it and haven't made anything with it yet. macwright.com/2026/03/16/a... Tomorrow at QCon London: Netlify's Ivan Zarea on the tools and platforms that actually need to change for the next wave of builders.
Not hype. Ground-level observations from handling the scale firsthand.

blog.gitbutler.com/git-ux-rant AI Terminology #20: Distillation
↳ A training technique where a smaller “student” model learns to replicate the behavior of a larger “teacher” model, preserving performance while reducing size and cost. Additionally, and I know it's a bigger change, but bash kinda sucks for us. pre-exec is... fine. There are a number of smaller bugs with it that we can't really fix, as preexec is just a hack to get shell hooks into bash. If at ALL possible, switching to any other shell is a much better experience
ok sounds good!
firstly, I'd get updated to the latest 18.13! then follow the steps here
forum.atuin.sh/t/fzf-output...
to remove pretty much all disk reads from the hot path. it'll feel much snappier. we see most queries/operations occurring in <10ms, and usually more like 5ms. also if you're using zfs on your homedir it's a known issue with sqlite + zfs, fixed either by using the daemon, orrrr by updating to the latest zfs release
it should not be!! sorry about that. could ya tell me a bit more about 1. your system 2. the version you're running 3. if you have tried the new daemon? (run atuin setup, say yes to the daemon). it should be MUCH faster + better

luma.com/euvnqn57 AI crawlers can't run JavaScript.
If your app is a React SPA, ChatGPT and Perplexity are seeing an empty page.
Netlify's Prerender extension fixes this by serving fully rendered HTML to crawlers, without changing anything about your app.
Free on all plans: do-you-need-prerender.netlify.app Millions of people are shipping software who have never written code by hand.
The tools weren't built for them. That's a problem worth solving.
Ivan Zarea on it at QCon London, March 18.
