Most backend complexity is a choice.
🔵 The blue pill is another framework and more glue code.
🔴 The red pill is understanding how backend systems actually work.
Backend Reloaded is about learning real backend fundamentals using AI and open-source tools like Motia, and building production-ready systems from day one.
Hackathon starts tomorrow. $3,000 in cash prizes 🏆

Important announcement, now more people can win!
WeMakeDevs is running its biggest hackathon yet with $20,000 in cash prizes.
A lot of people have been asking how to even start, especially beginners. Did you know that around 50% of participants in our events are doing their first-ever hackathon? When I was a freshman, I was terrified just looking at the Kubernetes repository but I started anyway, and that’s how I eventually became a contributor.
To make things fairer and give more people a chance to win, we’ve increased the prizes. Instead of 3 winning teams, now 5 teams will win 🏆
There’s more flexibility in which tools you can use, you can apply to multiple tracks to boost your chances, and there are non-tech tracks too like open-source best practices so even beginners can win.
And the best part: everyone who registers gets access to a private Google Summer of Code ☀️ mentorship session where I’ll answer your questions directly.

A tiny DNS glitch once took down a big part of the internet for 15 hours.
Check out Honeycomb: fandf.co/48ePPkx
In my latest video, I break down what that outage teaches us about modern systems and why observability matters more than ever in the AI era.

I just built this little 3D globe that follows your mouse pointer, and I did it with a single prompt using an open-source AI coding agent. Not Cursor, not Claude. Try it out for free: fandf.co/43r0y8A
