The 10x AI Developer is a Myth
Independent studies consistently show AI coding tools deliver modest gains at best. The real story is worse: developers are thinking less, learning less, and producing more debt.
Read more →Always Have an Agent Running
Mitchell Hashimoto keeps an agent working at all times. Not coding - just doing something. His workflow reveals what changes when you treat AI as a background process instead of a pair programmer.
Read more →The Neurodivergent Stack: Why Different Brains Built Tech, and Why Agents Need Them
ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence aren't bugs in the system. They're the reason the system exists. And the agentic age is about to prove it.
Read more →Your PM Tool Was Designed for Humans
Jira, Confluence, standups, sprint planning - all optimized for human coordination overhead. In an agent-native world, the bottleneck isn't status updates. It's whether the agents are unblocked.
Read more →The Quiet Features That Shipped With Opus 4.6
Auto memory, fast mode, and agent team refinements all shipped in the same week as Opus 4.6. They tell you more about where Claude Code is heading than the headline model.
Read more →10 Tips from Inside the Claude Code Team
Boris Cherny followed up his personal workflow with tips from across the team. Same tool, different people, different approaches. The patterns worth stealing.
Read more →The Lobster That Outran Siri
People are buying Mac Minis to run an open-source AI assistant built by a retired iOS dev. Meanwhile Apple pays Google $1B/year because they still can't build a real AI.
Read more →GasTown and the Two Kinds of Multi-Agent
I wrote that 19-agent scaffolding is a trap. Then Yegge shipped Gas Town with 20-30 Claude Code instances. Are these the same thing?
Read more →The Context Wars: Why Your Browser Tools Are Bleeding Tokens
Playwright MCP's 26 tools are killing your context window. Vercel's agent-browser shows a better way: fewer tools, smarter snapshots, 93% less overhead.

The methodology behind autonomous coding loops. Three phases, five files, and the backpressure that makes it converge.
Read more →The 19-Agent Trap
Complex AI scaffolding tools appeal to people who understand traditional SDLC. But AI collapses the phases that made those models useful.
Read more →Prompt Engineering Is (Mostly) Dead
The 'prompt engineering' industry was a symptom of early model limitations. Modern LLMs just need you to communicate clearly.

Boris Cherny shared his workflow for the tool he built. The setup is surprisingly vanilla. The philosophy is worth studying.
Read more →Claude Code: The Details That Compound
Claude Code is evolving on two fronts: expanding scope and polishing ergonomics. The combination makes it feel less like a CLI tool and more like a complete dev environment.

From 20 lines of shell to production apps. Anthropic renamed Claude Code SDK to Agent SDK because deep research is now a first-class use case.
Read more →The Terminal Renaissance
The real revolution isn't AI in your terminal. It's moving at the speed of thought from a single interface. When friction exists, build a CLI.
Read more →Beads: Memory for Your Coding Agents
Steve Yegge's open-source framework gives coding agents session memory and task management. Four weeks old, hundreds of contributors, and already changing workflows.
