Read more →A lookup table technique that improves search tool hit rates in autonomous loops. The detail that makes specs discoverable.
Read more →The methodology behind autonomous coding loops. Three phases, five files, and the backpressure that makes it converge.
Read more →Stanford data confirms experienced devs are safe. But if AI replaces the on-ramp, where do future seniors come from?
Read more →Skills controllability, hooks limitations, plan mode friction - 2.1 addresses the documented pain points. Here's what changed and what's still missing.
Read more →Complex AI scaffolding tools appeal to people who understand traditional SDLC. But AI collapses the phases that made those models useful.
Read more →Boris Cherny shared his workflow for the tool he built. The setup is surprisingly vanilla. The philosophy is worth studying.
Read more →Andrej Karpathy built the neural networks inside coding assistants. He taught deep learning to a generation. He feels dramatically behind. If the experts are lost, what does that tell us?
Read more →Convex, Vite, Clerk, shadcn, Cloudflare, Resend. A modern stack where every component has a generous free tier, agents do the heavy lifting, and you don't touch infrastructure until you have paying customers.
Read more →Claude Code can now control your actual Chrome browser. Not a headless session, not a fresh login - your Chrome, with your cookies and sessions. Build, test, and debug without context switching.
Read more →Top 3 intelligence. Top 5 price. Top speed. Flash beats Pro on SWE-bench and changes the economics of agentic workflows.
Read more →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.
Read more →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 →Screenshots as source of truth, reference comparison to catch agent lies, and video capture for temporal bugs. How multimodal validation changes coding agent workflows.
Read more →Steve Yegge's open-source framework gives coding agents session memory and task management. Four weeks old, hundreds of contributors, and already changing workflows.
Read more →OpenAI's latest model isn't about better prompting - it's about better delegation. What that means for 2026, and how it compares to Opus 4.5.
Read more →Six plugins that extend Claude Code with specialized external tools: Gemini for visual analysis, Codex for architecture thinking, Headless for browser automation, Mobile for native app testing, DNS for multi-provider management, and Miro for board reading.
Read more →Steve Yegge and Gene Kim explain why Claude Code 'ain't it' yet, why senior engineers are resisting, and what next year's tools will actually look like.
Read more →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 →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 →BMAD, Spec-Kit, Cline - frameworks that compensated for tool limitations. Plan Mode, Cursor 2.0, and Antigravity absorb the patterns natively.
Read more →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 →Opus 4.5 shipped Plan Mode as a core workflow. The workarounds are obsolete. And the case for auto-compact finally tips in favor of enabling it.
Read more →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 →How Anthropic's new plugin system and frontend-design skill help Claude Code generate distinctive UI instead of generic AI output.
Read more →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.
Read more →Design systems from mockup to code in a single Claude Code session. Use Gemini 3 Pro to generate UI concepts, then implement them directly.
Read more →Claude's new model ships with defer_loading for tools. The MCP isolation patterns I built are now (mostly) obsolete.
Read more →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 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.
Read more →Claude Code for development, Gemini 3 Pro for visual analysis, research, and deep thinking. A slash command that routes tasks to the right model.
Read more →How AI and spec-driven development are fusing product management with engineering, creating a new hybrid role that's transforming how small teams ship software.
Read more →I fought to move teams from npm to pnpm. I was all in. Then a friend said 'lol use bun' and I converted every project within days. Here's why I'll never go back.
Read more →Hooks-based skill activation solves context selection (which guidelines? which tools?) but not workflow orchestration. Both patterns have their place.
Read more →From Chrome DevTools experiment to universal MCP wrapper: progressive discovery works with any server, Skills integration, and smart deduplication
Read more →Skills are auto-invoked by Claude's judgment. For engineering workflows that need predictability, slash commands give you explicit control.
Read more →Claude Code loves to jump straight into implementation. Sometimes you need a model that thinks first. Here's how I use Codex for systems thinking and architecture decisions.
Read more →How to use slash commands to keep specialized MCP tools isolated from your main conversation context.
Read more →MCPs, subagents, and automation are tempting. But the developers getting the most from Claude Code aren't rushing to advanced features - they're mastering the fundamentals.
