Former Pebble Engineers Discuss The Rarity of Open Source Firmware

Mar 5, 2025 By Memfault In Memfault

It's not every day that commercial firmware gets open-sourced. In this clip, we talk about why it's so uncommon—and why it’s a huge learning opportunity when it does happen. From modern development practices to years of debugging edge cases, open-source firmware gives engineers a rare look inside real production code.

Does AI Help Write Better Software, or Just... More Code?

Mar 5, 2025 By Fahim Zaman In Honeycomb

As software teams race to integrate AI into their development workflows, we need to ask ourselves: are AI-powered tools actually making software better? The latest research from DORA confirms what many engineers have long suspected, and what we at Honeycomb have said for a long time: AI tools don’t magically lead to better software. In fact, without careful implementation, AI can introduce a whole slew of challenges, including decreased productivity and unreliable code.

Why you should never use page.waitForTimeout() in Playwright

Mar 5, 2025 By Nočnica Mellifera In Checkly

Playwright isn’t a testing framework. Sure it’s got assertions, scripted behaviors, even controls over environments. But testing isn’t Playwright’s only purpose. Playwright is an automation tool. It can carry out any browser-based action consistently, and carry out instructions robustly. Locators for buttons and other elements aren’t visual or CSS class-based, but based on ARIA role, and even small styling changes won’t make the scripted action fail.

How Do Plumbers Detect and Repair Hidden Leaks in Your Home?

Mar 5, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters

Hidden leaks can be a homeowner's most frustrating and damaging issue. Unlike visible plumbing problems, these leaks often go unnoticed until they cause extensive water damage, mold growth, or a spike in water bills. Water can seep behind walls, under floors, and within ceilings, slowly weakening the structural integrity of a home. Detecting and repairing hidden leaks requires a thorough approach, combining advanced detection methods with effective repair techniques. Ignoring these leaks can lead to costly repairs, health risks from mold, and even long-term damage to a home's foundation.

The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Windows and Professional Installation

Mar 5, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters

Windows plays an essential role in the overall energy efficiency of a home. They regulate heat flow, control natural light, and influence indoor comfort. However, outdated or poorly insulated windows can lead to significant energy loss, causing heating and cooling systems to work harder than necessary. This inefficiency drives up energy costs and reduces overall indoor comfort.
