24 teams, 4 days, 2 tracks. Who are you rooting for?

Full tournament details, live streams (also on YouTube on the MRDA channel) schedules, scores, and teams: https://worldcup.mrda.org/

Thursday and Friday are the group stages (30 mins games, hard clock). Then the top 20 teams go through to the Bracket & Rankings full games. Final on Sunday.

My first experience with Opus 4.7 was rough, and I think I figured out at least partially why: Claude's memory feature.

I noticed it was leaning on its memory files much harder than previous models, and it started confidently acting on things that were out of date, one-off decisions from a branch that went nowhere, etc.

The memory feature can't be universally disabled, so better-the-devil you know, I built memory-monitor; use it to see everything Claude remembers. Delete the wrong ones, or edit and add new memories.

Single server.js, zero runtime deps — npm start and it's up, nothing fancy.

I'm leading on a project that's made of two parts; a headless API back-end built with TS, Express, Postgres (predominantly built by me), and a light weight front end built in TS, Express, and React (predominantly built by out-sourced devs).

As you've correctly guessed the back end is clean, easy to understand, everything's in the right place, hits all KPIs. And the front end is... well ... quite messy, surprisingly slow, and buggy, and it seems to gain an order of magnitude in complexity every month or so.

The project is a pretty simple Netflix style UI with a bunch of standard features (DMs, payments, assorted other basic CRUD-style features). There's nothing complex with the UI, it just

Of course I know JavaScript.... wait no, not that JavaScript

I'm a senior dev, team lead, consultant type with a fair amount of experience. I did a decade of LAMP, and more recently a decade of Node/Express/EJS/Mongo, with a sprinkling of AWS.

I've started helping a new-but-established team who are using Tailwind, TypeScript, Firebase, Next.Js (and Vercel). All of which I have a generalists understanding of but no hands-on experience with.

For people who have used these technologies; What, if any, is the smart order to learn them? For example; I assume it's better to learn React then NextJs .. right?

Usually in my career I'll only be picking up one new toy/framework/tool at a time

I am the Tech Lead at the Black Young Professionals Network, a DE&I company who's goal is to help upskill and promote an underrepresented community.

We work with some of the largest companies out there and provide a range of solutions from local events in a number of countries, to an annual Leadership Conference (last year headlined by will.i.am), as well as offering services like recruitment and our mentorship programmes.

Most of our sites run on WordPress, and we've grown to the point where there's need for a full-time developer to maintain and improve them.

The role will require you to manage the existing sites (you'll need to know your way around caches, ho

Every host says they handle bursts of traffic and most can't, so I'm asking y'all for suggestions as I only get one chance.

My business is on UK TV in a few weeks. It's a repeat of a show from 3 years ago; last time we got 8k concurrent users to our standard WordPress site in 30s, then started seeing slowdown and a lack of availability. All our other services worked fine. Normally the corporate site gets a few dozen hits per day.

I'm looking for a host and/or setup which definitely can handle the traffic as we only get one shot. I only need it for a few weeks before I expect traffic to drop back to normal.

Also taking recommendations on how I can reliably test it ahead of time.
