Don't use a MacBook air for software development in the AI era. I just discovered that my machine has quietly been thermal throttling aggressively for the last year. This is where it slows down the CPU to cool itself down because it has no fan. This has wasted so much of my time.↗

wrote a few thoughts about what we lose now that we don't write the code ourselves, and do we get our flow back↗

Introducing Ship OS: The agent-native way to ship software. Run your entire product development cycle in Notion, from customer feedback to a merged PR. Agents handle the triaging, routing, and summarizing. Your team handles the judgment calls. Set up Ship OS → …↗

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I…↗

Learn how to use coding agents in 30 minutes! This course teaches you how to build software with agents: plan new features, fix bugs, review and test code, and more. It's 100% free and these concepts apply to any agent!↗

Software isn’t merely technical work anymore. It’s creative. Introducing Replit Agent 4. The first AI built for creative collaboration between humans and agents. Design on an infinite canvas, work with your team, run parallel agents, and ship working apps, sites, slides & more.↗

prediction re the end of spreadsheets AI code gen means that anything that is currently modeled as a spreadsheet is better modeled in code. You get all the advantages of software - libraries, open source, AI, all the complexity and expressiveness. think about what spreadsheets…↗

the software development lifecyle is dead requirements → design → code → test → review → deploy → monitor this loop is finished I wrote down my thoughts boristane.com/blog/the-softw…↗

We believe the coding agent is dead. Soon, Amp will look very different. ampcode.com/news/the-codin…↗

4% of GitHub public commits are being authored by Claude Code right now. At the current trajectory, we believe that Claude Code will be 20%+ of all daily commits by the end of 2026. While you blinked, AI consumed all of software development. Read more 👇 …↗

We're all still fumbling in the dark with agents, but some patterns are emerging (and some disappear quickly again!), and it's our role as software makers to make use of it all along the way. Here are some quick notes from one of those internal sessions sorting it all at 37s.↗

The future is software writing its own software. Which is why I'm so in love with Pi: a coding agent that can extend itself :) lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/31/pi/↗

I gave our boi clawdbot a better ui and structure 🙈 will share with tinkerer.club first when it's done 😜↗

I'm thinking about this a lot lately — did we only ever create abstractions to avoid duplication, and now is maintaining duplication actually not really a problem? I'm working on this very componentized marketing site kit product we're building and can't shake the feeling that ma…↗

My biggest worries about coding with AI: 1. Beginners not actually learning 2. Atrophy of skills I’m seeing #1 happen and I don’t have a good answer yet. Leveling up as an engineer requires grinding and it’s not always fun. If AI can solve most of the problems for you, when d…↗

Most people have no clue how far you can get with Cursor AI now. I just filmed a full 3 hour 44 minute build-from-scratch guide showing the exact workflow I use to build production apps with agents, architecture, and revenue-ready features. 💰 If you’ve ever wondered how to bui…↗

wow working with @FactoryAI is amazing finished a lot of small features for alprina.com↗

Michael Truell: How Cursor Builds at the Speed of AI In only a few years, Cursor's AI dev tools have made a name for themselves as fast-shipping and fast-growing. CEO Michael Truell sat down with a16z's Martin Casado to discuss how Michael got here and what it's like to operate…↗

Starting today the #1 software development agent in the world is fully scriptable. For the past few weeks I've been working on droid exec, Factory's headless CLI for agent native automation. Droids can now work independently, without human input. Create new autonomous workflows…↗

Thank you @benln for one of the coolest gifts. Incredibly happy to contribute to @cursor_ai leading the change of building software all over the world.↗

Software development is more than just coding. Introducing Droids -- the world's first software development agents. 🤖 Starting today, Droids are available for general access. Factory integrates with your entire engineering system (GitHub, Slack, Linear, Notion, Sentry) and se…↗

Coding agents are no longer a distant idea—they're already starting to reshape how we work. YC's Tom Blomfield (@t_blom) and David Lieb (@dflieb) discuss how AI coding tools are transforming software development, why small, high-agency teams will be able to do what once took arm…↗

‘Coding’ is more and more like writing & less and less like ‘building’... App building doesn't make you an engineer, it makes you an author 'Hackathons' are really just write-a-thons. An 'app' is just a business plan / deck by another name. tech 'products' are all consumables.↗

This prompt is a fucking godsend for @cursor_ai & @windsurf_ai "Reflect on 5-7 different possible sources of the problem, distill those down to 1-2 most likely sources, and then add logs to validate your assumptions before we move onto implementing the actual code fix"↗

A New Era of Shareware? AI is rapidly changing how software is made and, possibly, how it would be used and distributed. While history doesn't repeat it often rhymes, and since the launch of Replit Agent, I've been thinking about the Shareware scene of the 1980s. If you're not…↗
