Bury your head in the ground at your own risk. I aim to not jump on any hype trains, but since Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2 + the harnesses it was clear that these things can write code nearly as good as I can in my best language; better in other languages. But we won't see non-devs pus…↗

What can us, engineers else learn from designers and design engineers? Turns out there’s lots, based on talking with one of the best design engineers in the industry, @Mappletons. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:24 From anthropology to tech 10:18 What does a designer do? 18:23 How M…↗

Here's what OpenAI's agentic software factory looks like, today. Details: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/openai-softw… (thanks to all the OpenAI folks who explained how it works! And Perf Factory looks especially interesting to me)↗

If you use Codex, @thsottiaux needs no introduction. We talked 100% about Codex (fun fact: he started building it!), and 0% about resets. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 07:21 Working at Google 12:41 What drew Tibo to OpenAI 15:19 The early days of Codex 18:20 Why Codex was built in Rus…↗

What is "loop engineering" to you, anyway? Been looking into this, and also experimenting myself... and I'm not (yet?) buying that it's a new paradigm. But I might just be missing something. Can you share "loops" you regularly use?↗

One interesting trend: I’m seeing *so many* VC-funded, internally built infrastructure and bootstrapped solutions around “building a context layer for engineering teams.” Aka trying to solve the problem of “if only eg Claude Code had the context from all your other systems”↗

Why is the creator of OpenCode pretty skeptical about AI productivity gains, and the hype around AI? A very conversation @thdxr (and lots of truth bombs:) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 07:03 Dax’s path into tech 09:04 Early startup experience 13:16 Getting involved with open source 1…↗

OpenClaw - the agentic software spreading like wildfire - was built on top of Pi, a minimalist, self-modifying agent. I sat down with Pi's creator, @badlogicgames and longtime Pi user (+ the creator of Flask) @mitsuhiko to talk Pi, and their (very grounded!) takes on building wit…↗

The only people who believe any of this are non-coders. I tried to build a game (an area I’m an n00b in.) The results are amusingly disastrous - I never before coded a decent game. But I’ll crack out backend services w AI rapidly - because I coded dozens of them before…↗

Confirmed that Anthropic - as of now - has removed Claude Code from new Pro signups. This is what the pricing page looks like. Feels like Anthropic has the bet that those doing coding work will be willing and ready to pay at least $100/month, going forward.↗

Unpopular opinion: Current code review tools just don’t make much sense for AI-generated code When reviewing code I really want to know: - The prompt made by the dev - What corrections the other dev made to the code - Clear marking of code AI-generated not changed by a human↗

Really good tips on dev content that could go viral on Hacker News and other sites by @monicalent: x.com/monicalent/sta… As someone who has had more than 10 posts on the HN front page the past year (hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all…) here are some of my observations. A thread.↗
