Vercel Connect: Secure access to external services for your agents

lets your apps and agents access external services like Slack, GitHub, Salesforce, and your own custom APIs without storing a long-lived provider secret in your environment. You register a connector once, and your code requests scoped, short-lived tokens at runtime, only when it needs them.Vercel Connect You can create a connector from your dashboard or the Vercel CLI: Your agent can then request a token from it at runtime, only when it needs it.

Introducing eve, an open-source agent framework

is now available in public preview.eve eve is an open-source framework for building, running, and scaling agents.

Smart Resume for File Transfers in Rust — Never Start Over

All tests run on an 8-year-old MacBook Air. All results from shipping 7 Mac apps as a solo developer. No sponsored opinion. A 2GB video transfer that fails at 90% and restarts from zero is a terrible experience. HiyokoMTP and HiyokoAutoSync both implement smart resume. Here's how. File transfers fail. USB connections drop. Devices sleep. The user unplugs at the wrong moment. Without resume: start over. With resume: pick up where you left off. Track transfer state in SQLite. On failure, record th

Python interview questions: what each one actually predicts on the job (2026)

Canonical: this is a cross-post. The original lives at https://four-leaf.ai/blog/python-interview-questions You can find a hundred Python interview question lists in about ten seconds. Most of them are the same: here's the question, here's the answer, memorize it, good luck. Final Round AI's popular roundup runs to 95 questions in exactly that shape. Those lists optimize for the wrong thing. I've sat on the interviewing side of enough Python screens to know what actually moves a decision, and it
