Devtopia is back.

We talked about what we were up to for the last 6 months. We are planning to do one episode per two weeks.

We also have an editor now, Bisrat, so hopefully this will help us maintain our release schedule.

Swipe ⬅️ to uncover the boldest moment in modern tech history, when Mira Murati, founder of Thinking Machines Lab, refused a $1 billion offer from Mark Zuckerberg.

The former OpenAI CTO built Thinking Machines Lab into a $12 billion AI startup within months, backed by Nvidia and Andreessen Horowitz. When Meta tried to lure her team with offers exceeding $200 million per engineer, every one of them stayed loyal to her vision of ethical AI innovation.

Murati’s refusal wasn’t about money, it was about purpose. She proved leadership isn’t measured by valuation, but by conviction and trust. In a world where talent is bought, she showed that belief can be stronger than billion-dollar offers.

Raymond Fu once said "focus on the system of Software Engineering"

I Just tried a new AI-driven IDE by Google called Antigravity
it's Insane for real🔥
it supports multiple AI models including Gemini 3 Pro, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, GPT etc.

Master System Design — The Skill That Separates Junior from Senior

If you’re serious about becoming a real backend engineer, you must understand system design — scalability, reliability, architecture, data flow, and how large systems survive millions of users.

I just found a powerful, beginner-friendly resource from GeeksforGeeks that breaks everything down in a structured, easy-to-learn way:

👉 System Design Tutorial – GeeksforGeeks


Whether you're preparing for interviews or building real-world systems, this is a must-study guide.
Level up your architecture mind. 💡🔥

Antigravity AI Agent IDE with Gemini 3 Pro (High) is straight heat 🔥🔥🔥.
Real talk — I was anti AI Agent IDEs ,
But this one changed my mind instantly.

Yo folks,

Right now is the moment every developer needs to stay active and learn fast.
Not just because of AI, but because the competition out there is getting crazy.

If you slow down, you get left behind.
But if you keep learning, building, and improving your skills,
this era becomes the biggest opportunity of your life.

Build everything that lives in your imagination — this is your time.
Let’s go, CodeBenders 🔥 🤘😎

Stay sharp, stay hungry.
We move.

Some people think professionalism means hiding behind “according to our policy…” or long excuses.
Honestly, if you’re not choosing someone, just say it directly.
A simple “We’ve decided to move forward with another candidate” is enough.
Clear. Respectful. No unnecessary drama.

alot has changed ...... alot 🕔
