Weekly Tech Cocktail – Issue #7

Each week we carefully handpick content about APIs, AI and the evolution of our jobs in software engineering. Yes, by «hand» we mean a part of an actual human.

To begin with, a few general purpose articles I found inspiring this week:

• How long before superintelligence? (1997)

• A Hitchhiker's Guide to the AI Bubble

And a few funny ones:

• Draw A Fish and watch it swim with the others

• Approve merge requests with your eyes closed

• How email tracking works behind the scenes

• Writing a good design document

• QUIC for the kernel

• table: A Periodic Table of System Design Principles

• The Right Way to Sunset a Project

#apis

• The 5 Best API Docs Tools in 2025

#genai

#tools

• goker: Scrum Planning Poker (golang)

• cle-b/hookdns: easy way to patch dns resolution (python)

• websocket devtools: websocket traffic control

• docmd: minimal markdown documentation generator

• codeboarding: diagram representations for code

• craigbuckler/staticsearch: Static site search engine

And a few claude-code related tools … (should I keep them separate, don’t know …)

• dyoshikawa/ccsettings: config management for claude code

• threads: A lightweight web viewer for Claude Code conversation files with a terminal

• ekusiadadus/vibetime: track claude code usage through cli and web ui
