Why we built The Cache
There's no shortage of AI news. There's a shortage of signal. The Cache is a store of what actually matters in AI and open source, explained clearly.
The feed is full. Every day brings a new model, a new framework, a new "this changes everything." Most of it is noise. Some of it is the good stuff — the releases and ideas that will actually change how you build.
The Cache exists to keep the good stuff.
A cache is a store of valuable things. It's also, to anyone who builds, a memory layer — the place you keep what's worth reaching for again. That double meaning is the whole idea. We're collecting what matters in AI, open source, and developer tooling, and explaining it clearly enough to be useful the day you read it and the day you come back to it.
What you'll find here
We organize everything around a few durable pillars:
- Open-source spotlight — projects and releases worth your attention.
- AI for builders — agents, coding assistants, RAG, evals. Applied, not hype.
- Developer tooling & workflow — editors, CLIs, infra, and the craft.
- Explainers & deep dives — the good stuff, broken down clearly.
- The Drop — a curated digest of the week's best, in your inbox.
Who it's for
Builders and the technically curious — from people leveling up to working developers. We won't dumb things down, and we won't assume you already know everything. The goal is signal: the good stuff, curated and explained.
How to follow along
The newsletter is the front door. It's where the curation lands first, and it's free. The blog is the archive — deeper pieces that stay useful. And there's a course in the works for going from "I read about it" to "I shipped it."
