By default, coding agents start each session with no memory of previous ones, and nothing carries over to the rest of the team. We've been experimenting internally with ways to fix that, and it turns out Notion works really well: persistent, shared across the team, and every mem…↗

My life has become boring All I do is asking coding agents to write a PLAN.md, then /grill-me on it to improve the plan, then spin up an agent to implement it I'm just a markdown manager now😭😭↗

The AI Engineering Skills Map I am delighted to present The AI Engineering Skills Map. AI allows us to build software very differently today than in 2022, and everyone with the skills to take advantage of this shift has numerous exciting project and job opportunities. But with t…↗
