When Google Sneezes, the Whole World Catches a Cold | Forge Code
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1la5u5j/when_google_sneezes_the_whole_world_catches_a/

Today's Google Cloud IAM outage cascaded through major platforms including Cloudflare, Anthropic, Spotify, Discord, and Replit, highlighting key reliability issues. Here's what happened, how it affected popular services, and key takeaways for developers aiming for more resilient architecture. TL;DR: Google Cloud outage took down Cloudflare, Anthropic (Claude APIs), Spotify, Discord, and many others. Key lesson: don't put all your eggs in one basket, graceful fallback patterns matter!  submitted by /u/West-Chocolate2977 (https://www.reddit.com/user/West-Chocolate2977)

Mastering CRUD Operations with Knex.js and PostgreSQL
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1la77oe/mastering_crud_operations_with_knexjs_and/

Knex.js is a powerful, open-source SQL query builder for Node.js that simplifies database interactions by allowing developers to write database queries using JavaScript. In this article, we'll explore how to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and various other operations using Knex.js with a PostgreSQL database.  submitted by /u/ram-foss (https://www.reddit.com/user/ram-foss)

Mochi v0.7.0 — Go+Python interop, self-eval, and agent streams
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1la7m84/mochi_v070_gopython_interop_selfeval_and_agent/

We just released Mochi v0.7.0 (https://github.com/tamnd/mochi), a small statically typed scripting language for agents, real-time data, and working alongside Go, Python, and TypeScript. This update brings a few solid improvements: Agent messaging
Agents now have stream-backed mailboxes. You can send and wait with deterministic ordering — useful for simulations, coordination, or async systems. Go and Python in the same file
You can now call Go and Python together. Go FFI supports structs and method calls: import go "strings" as strings auto import python "math" as math let name = strings.ToUpper("alice") let area = math.pi * math.pow(3.0, 2.0) Dynamic eval
You can now evaluate Mochi code at runtime — including code generated on the fly: let code = generate text { prompt: "Write mochi code to calculate 2+2?" } let result = eval(code) print(result) // 4 Local imports
You can import files and folders using ./ and ../, no registry required. Still early, but if you're into lightweight scripting, cross-language interop, or agent-based workflows, it might be worth a look.
We’d love feedback — https://github.com/mochilang/mochi (https://github.com/tamnd/mochi)  submitted by /u/Adept-Country4317 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Adept-Country4317)

Developer patterns and practices as a mood stabiliser for hypomanic AI
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1laa92i/developer_patterns_and_practices_as_a_mood/

(I can maybe use this insensitive title as I have bipolar disorder). My AI is often like a super psyched junior developer, I ask for a new command line flag and it creates a monster changes, tonnes of comments saying all the clever stuff it’s done, doesn’t clean up old code, doesn’t think about testing, doesn’t follow obvious conventions. More code = more maintenance and tech debt, smaller is better. Don’t change without discussion. Review changes. I encoded this in “golden rules” in a developer guide, which can be used with a simple prompt (if your LLM has web access) or an MCP server (more efficient for fetching “sub guides”. I’d love feedback on the approach or any suggestions of the best next additions. I’m focusing on basic idioms for good practices, rather than specifics that are more opinionated. But it’s early days work in progress.  submitted by /u/dwmkerr (https://www.reddit.com/user/dwmkerr)

AI Generated Books
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1laayqu/ai_generated_books/

If you're looking for good books on programming, please avoid this author. The content is clearly AI generated, and created simply to farm purchases from those who don't know any better. Pick any of the books and just read the sample. It's barely readable. I'm worried that people who are looking and don't know any better will buy them. Just posting here to spread awareness.  submitted by /u/ctrtanc (https://www.reddit.com/user/ctrtanc)
