1+ min ago (602+ words) If you've worked in tech and watched Silicon Valley, you know it hits surprisingly close to home. The VCs who love the vision more than the details? Familiar. The pivot meetings where everyone stays optimistic? They happen. Engineers having passionate debates about code style? Guilty. Every time I rewatch an episode, I recognize moments from my own career. Gavin Belson's corporate speak? I've heard those presentations. The Hooli engineers building ambitious projects? That's just how innovation works. Russ Hanneman's energy at networking events? You've probably met someone similar. The show ended in 2019, but somehow it captured something timeless about tech culture. So naturally, I decided to honor it the only way I know how: by building something completely unnecessary. You know what the world definitely doesn't need? Another quote website. You know what I built anyway? A Silicon Valley quote…...

14+ min ago (359+ words) The protective shelter over the reactor at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant can no longer guarantee radiation containment, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said. The agency added that urgent major repairs are now required. The warning follows an inspection prompted by a drone strike in February, which marked the first major attack on the shelter. Moscow said the strike was a provocation orchestrated by Kiev, while the Ukrainian government blamed Russia. The strike had pierced the outer shell of the massive steel arch known as the New Safe Confinement (NSC) and triggered a fire. While the initial damage did not cause a radiation leak, the new assessment shows the structural breach has degraded the shelter's ability to contain nuclear material. The IAEA confirmed on Friday that the NSC, a 36,000-tonne steel structure built over the destroyed Unit 4 reactor at…...

17+ min ago (1139+ words) Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on dev.to so not entirely sure how this will land, but I wanted to share something I've been building quietly for the past few months. I'm a solo founder (and honestly a part-time everything: backend dev, product manager, QA, customer support, marketing intern" you name it). And I finally pushed my product live a little while ago. It's called Resumly, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from devs here because this community tends to be more grounded and less, you know, hype-driven. The idea came from helping friends and family rewrite resumes over and over again. The pattern was always the same: people struggle not with writing, but with "translating" their actual experience into the language job descriptions use. Especially when job postings are full of buzzwords or when ATS…...
