Hi, we're Threadlocked, a small collective of young researchers and hackers scattered across India and APAC.
We're sick of watching an entire generation mistake salary packages and credentials for the pursuit of computer science itself.
We're looking for curious hackers and researchers who still dare to take the road less traveled by treating computing as a craft.
We grew up in obscure corners of the Internet and learnt from strangers who encouraged our curiosity, shared their knowledge and even helped us access resources we couldn't afford. Somewhere along the way, we found our people. Now that we're in a position to do the same for others, we'd like to return the favor.
If any of these feel familiar we’d love to hear from you.

🦆 Announcing DuckDB 2.0.0 LTS “Cinnamon Teal”
We are proud to release DuckDB 2.0.0, named after the cinnamon teal (Spatula cyanoptera), a striking reddish-brown duck found in the western Americas. 🌎
DuckDB 2.0.0 is the biggest DuckDB feature release so far. It ships a polished version of the Quack protocol, which turns DuckDB into a full-fledged server. It improves performance and lowers costs through supporting asynchronous I/O, a first-class VARIANT type, and a dedicated “agent mode”. It also empowers extension developers with a new SQL parser that allows adding new statements, clauses, and keywords, a new API to build on, and a new mechanism to distribute extensions more easily.
In our announcement blog post, we summarize the highlights and then walk through the key changes and give guidance on how to migrate to 2.0. For the complete release notes, see the release page on GitHub.

Upgraded my Rails + Bedrock app to multimodal search.
Added a 2nd KB with OpenSearch Serverless for image processing,
worked amazingly: Unexpected bill! 😅
Always check idle costs! 💡 😭 #aws #developerlife

I translated my article introducing RubyGems/Bundler 4.1 into English. Part 1 covers override, which rewrites or drops gem dependencies from your Gemfile, and prune, which strips caches from the bundle path. Both are in 4.1.0.beta2.

The windows port nr 2. In Matz's spinel is coming along well. It compiles, but the code has to be cleaned up a bit more so it doesn't touch too many other files. I'm hoping to get there this week.

A framework is an intelligence cache.
You could waste tokens reinventing the ORM, cache, queues, auth, routing, etc, or you could just pick a world-class framework.
