Claude Code 2.0.64 adds .claude/rules/ with path matching. It's a welcome addition, but Cursor's had .cursor/rules/ for months. Here's the comparison.
Read more →Your Ad Budget Is Feeding Bots: Why the Future Is Physical
51% of web traffic is now bots - the first time machines exceeded humans. $238B wasted on fake impressions in 2024. Out-of-home is the fraud-proof alternative.
Read more →Your Website Is About to Become a Workflow
The human-facing web is dying. Zero-click searches, bot traffic exceeding humans, publishers losing 40%+ traffic. What comes next: an agentic web where sites are API endpoints, not destinations.
Read more →12 Factor Agents: Principles for AI That Actually Work
HumanLayer's 12-factor agents codifies what works in production AI: own your context, keep agents small, stay out of the dumb zone.
Read more →Ralph Wiggum: Autonomous Loops for Claude Code
The official Claude Code plugin that lets agents work autonomously for hours. When to use it, when not to, and the philosophy behind letting AI fail repeatedly until it succeeds.
Read more →Agent Harnesses: From DIY Patterns to Product
Anthropic's engineering team published patterns for long-running agents. These same patterns - progress tracking, feature lists, session protocols - are what products like SpecPilot must solve at scale.

My AI workflow evolved from 'Claude does everything' to specialized tools for each task. React Grab fills the UI extraction gap I didn't know I had.
Read more →The SDLC Is Collapsing Too
The PM/Eng split dissolved into product engineering. Now the traditional software development lifecycle is following suit as coding agents handle multi-hour tasks across planning, building, testing, and deployment.
