Starlette 1.0 shipped—the web framework underneath FastAPI that's been running in production for years. Christopher Meiklejohn wrote up teaching Claude to do mobile app QA testing, showing real work instead of toy examples. Revise launched as a Show HN—an AI-powered document editor. The Rust project collected perspectives on AI from contributors and maintainers, interesting spread of views.
Starlette 1.0 is out. It's the web framework that powers FastAPI, along with a bunch of other tools. Kim Christie started it in 2018. A lot of production code runs on Starlette even if developers don't realize it—this is a bigger deal than it looks.
Christopher Meiklejohn wrote up teaching Claude to do QA testing on a mobile app. Real practical application of AI to actual development work, not a toy demo. Good writeup of the process.
Bram Cohen wrote about a new approach to version control, illustrated with 470 lines of Python. Simon fed it to Claude and got an interactive browser demo for exploring the algorithms. Good example of making academic concepts tangible.
PC Gamer published a 37MB article that kept downloading, adding hundreds more megabytes from auto-playing video ads. Simon used Claude Code and Rodney to audit what was happening. Practical use of AI tools to debug absurd web performance.
Niko Matsakis collected views on AI from Rust project contributors and maintainers. Wide range of opinions on how AI affects development work, what's useful, what's concerning. Thoughtful takes from people actually building things.
