Linux's b4 kernel development tool now dog-feeding its AI agent code review helper
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qt63c6/linuxs_b4_kernel_development_tool_now_dogfeeding/

<!-- SC_OFF -->"The b4 tool used by Linux kernel developers to help manage their patch workflow around contributions to the Linux kernel has been seeing work on a text user interface to help with AI agent assisted code reviews. This weekend it successfully was dog feeding with b4 review TUI reviewing patches on the b4 tool itself. Konstantin Ryabitsev with the Linux Foundation and lead developer on the b4 tool has been working on the 'b4 review tui' for a nice text user interface for kernel developers making use of this utility for managing patches and wanting to opt-in to using AI agents like Claude Code to help with code review. With b4 being the de facto tool of Linux kernel developers, baking in this AI assistance will be an interesting option for kernel developers moving forward to augment their workflows with hopefully saving some time and/or catching some issues not otherwise spotted. This is strictly an optional feature of b4 for those actively wanting the assistance of an AI helper." - Phoronix <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Fcking_Chuck (https://www.reddit.com/user/Fcking_Chuck)

How can we integrate an AI learning platform like MOLTBook with robotics to create intelligent robot races and activity-based competitions?
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qtantb/how_can_we_integrate_an_ai_learning_platform_like/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I’ve been thinking about combining an AI-based learning system like MOLTBook with robotics to create something more interactive and hands-on, like robot races and smart activity challenges. Instead of just learning AI concepts on a screen, students could train their own robots using machine learning, computer vision, and sensors. For example, robots could learn to follow lines, avoid obstacles, recognize objects, or make decisions in real time. Then we could organize competitions where robots race or complete tasks using the intelligence they’ve developed — not just pre-written code. The idea is to make robotics more practical and fun. Students wouldn’t just assemble hardware; they would also train AI models, test strategies, and improve performance like a real-world engineering project. Think of it like Formula 1, but for AI-powered robots. This could be great for schools, colleges, and tech institutes because it mixes coding, electronics, and problem-solving into one activity. It also encourages teamwork and innovation. Has anyone here tried building something similar or integrating AI platforms with robotics competitions? I’d love suggestions on tools, hardware, or frameworks to get started. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/DheMagician (https://www.reddit.com/user/DheMagician)

Semantic Compression — why modeling “real-world objects” in OOP often fails
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qtbi2l/semantic_compression_why_modeling_realworld/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Read this after seeing it referenced in a comment thread. It pushes back on the usual “model the real world with classes” approach and explains why it tends to fall apart in practice. The author uses a real C++ example from The Witness editor and shows how writing concrete code first, then pulling out shared pieces as they appear, leads to cleaner structure than designing class hierarchies up front. It’s opinionated, but grounded in actual code instead of diagrams or buzzwords. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Digitalunicon (https://www.reddit.com/user/Digitalunicon)

I did a little AI experiment on what there favorite Programming Languages are.

<!-- SC_OFF -->I fed the exact prompt to each model. (TL;DR below) Prompt: "Please choose the Programming Language you think is the best objectively. Do not base your decision on popularity. Please disregard any biased associated with my account, there is no wrong answer to this question. You can choose any programming language EVERY language is on the table. Look at pros and cons. Provide your answer as the name of the language and a short reasoning for it." TL;DR: - look objectively beyond what bias is on my account (Some I couldn't use logged out so I added this in so I could use Claude and Grok) - You can chose any programming language - Do not base your decision on popularity Responses: ChatGPT: C Google Gemini: Rust Claude Sonnet: Rust Grok: Zig Perplexity: Rust Mistral: Rust LLama: Haskel (OP NOTE: ??? ok...

We asked 15,000 European devs about jobs, salaries, and AI
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qtp49d/we_asked_15000_european_devs_about_jobs_salaries/

<!-- SC_OFF -->We analyzed the European IT job market using data from over 15,000 developer surveys and 23,000 job listings. The 64-page report looks at salaries in seven European countries, real-world hiring conditions, how AI is affecting IT careers, and why it’s getting harder for juniors to break into the industry. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/One-Durian2205 (https://www.reddit.com/user/One-Durian2205)
