Next topic: Validation and Transformation.
Another article in the backend series: medium.com/@anuragdotdev/val…
I wrote about what happens when data enters your backend and how to ensure your application handles it correctly.
Input validation, data transformation, Zod, Express middleware, the 400 vs 500 problem, mass assignment, database constraints, testing, and more.
I didn't want to write another article that just shows a Zod schema and calls it validation.
I wanted to understand the whole thing properly. From untrusted client input to validated data reaching the service and database.
It took me a while to put this together, but I wanted it to be something I'd actually want to read while learning backend development.
"I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code "
I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined.
I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top.
The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever.
My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply.
To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had.
For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new.
If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.
Hey microsoft don't leave instagram while doing search on YouTube
Hey @Microsoft , I will give you an idea to do layoffs.
1. Open youtube... Search "Day in life of a Microsoft Engineer".
2. You will get list of people who only eat but do not work in office.
3. Layoff them

every new agent session i explain the same repo again 😭
the weird auth thing, which tests are flaky
alan ai says shared context across claude code/codex/cursor. if it works, bookmark it first
Today we're launching @tryAlanAI so developers can stop babysitting their coding agents.
We kept running into the same problem ourselves.
Even as agents got better at writing code, we were becoming glorified button-pushers for our own AI: starting every run, feeding them context, unblocking failures, and checking their work.
We built Alan to change that.

Bleach anime is officially ending today after 22 years… 😭
Crazy how an anime can become such a big part of your life. The characters, the fights, the Bankai reveals. So many memories mannn
Hard to say goodbye bleach will always be special. 🖤
It's time I start learning things of my syllabus 💀
I don't want to give AKTU any chance to give me a back in any subject

Peter Sellis is the new Head of Product at X.
Fun fact: he worked with Nikita Bier at Discord after Discord acquired Gas in 2023.
Curious to see what he will build next
I’m joining the team at @X to lead Product.
I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so it’s time to make shitposting multiplanetary.
X is the best way to find out what’s happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful.
We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like X’s next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; I’m sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.
Damn better than 99.6%
Still idk why @notmiramurati not approved my account on unfair yet (i applied on day 1 btw )
