What I learned from building a portfolio site for 100+ freelancers (and what most dev portfolios get wrong)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lzfil2/what_i_learned_from_building_a_portfolio_site_for/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Most developer portfolios focus on what was built but clients and recruiters care more about why and how. Here are 3 things I noticed after analyzing 100+ real freelance portfolios: • No clear value proposition: “I build web apps” is vague. “I help startups validate MVPs in 3 weeks” is specific and trust-building. • No social proof: Testimonials, LinkedIn reviews, even GitHub stars help. It’s about perceived trust. • Not optimized for mobile: You'd be surprised how many portfolios look broken on phones. Even though most clients check them from mobile. I built a simple profile system to solve these problems. It's not a resume site, more like a clean one-pager where you plug in your headline, projects, and links. And it just works. Won’t plug it here (don’t want to break rules), but DM if you’re curious. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Conscious_Aide9204 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Conscious_Aide9204)

Binary Logic in CPUs: Why Are There Three Logical Operators Instead of Two?
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lzfxfh/binary_logic_in_cpus_why_are_there_three_logical/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Can someone please explain the theory behind CPU logical operators? My question is whether there could be only binary logical operators—just two—instead of three, as is the case with other CPU components like data flow, control flow, and the arithmetic unit, which are all binary. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Icy_Ocelot_3929 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Icy_Ocelot_3929)

GitHub - BasaiCorp/Razen-Lang: Razen is a modern, lightweight programming language with Python-like syntax, high performance, and built-in debugging. Perfect for scripting, testing, and custom module development.
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lzhwos/github_basaicorprazenlang_razen_is_a_modern/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I have been working on a programming language called Razen Lang for a bit over 3 months now. It’s something I always wanted to do — make a compiled language that’s fast and easy to use. I don’t really have a team or anything, just been figuring stuff out as I go. I got it to a beta stage and it’s actually working, though still needs a lot of improvements. It’s not perfect at all, but I learned a lot while building it and I’m happy with how far it’s come. Right now I’ve decided to pause the project for some time because of study stuff. I’ll definitely continue and finish it later though, just need a break to focus on other things for now. If anyone wants to check it out, the GitHub is here: https://github.com/BasaiCorp/Razen-Lang Thanks! <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/GladJellyfish9752 (https://www.reddit.com/user/GladJellyfish9752)

The Silent Exploitation of APIs by AI Agents and Why It Needs Regulating Immediately
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lzjhac/the_silent_exploitation_of_apis_by_ai_agents_and/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I've been researching how AI agents like those built with LangChain interact with public APIs, and I came across the troubling realization that they're often using APIs without permission or even notifying the creators. I wrote this piece to highlight the risks and regulatory gaps. Curious to hear what others think, especially devs and founders who might be affected. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/MountainFloof2 (https://www.reddit.com/user/MountainFloof2)

Using Aion coding
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lzjjx8/using_aion_coding/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I have a question about using AI on coding. I'm doing Kaggle competitions. I usually know what steps to take, but I’m not always sure how to write the exact Python code for them. I do understand Python — I can follow the code GPT gives me and I understand the output. Each time, I analyze the output and then ask GPT again to write specific code for the next task. So as a data analyst or data engineer, is this a good way to use GPT? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Wide-Bicycle-7492 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Wide-Bicycle-7492)
