Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on what's moving in the world of technology.

Antirez, the creator of Redis, is raising a question that goes beyond how we build software — he's asking how we distribute it. As AI reshapes the development process, he argues the entire pipeline from code to end user may need rethinking. It's a quiet but potentially significant shift in how software reaches the world.

On the hardware front, the AI industry is quietly waging a different kind of arms race — not over raw computing power, but over the connections between chips. Photonic interconnects, which use light instead of electrical signals to move data, are becoming a serious competitive battleground as hyperscalers push the limits of what their data centers can physically sustain.

And in the workplace, AI is beginning to reshape not just how we work, but how companies hire. Recruitment platforms are grappling with a labor market where skills evolve faster than job descriptions, and where the old model of matching resumes to roles feels increasingly out of step with the pace of change.

Those are the stories shaping the conversation today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
