- Back when Copilot first came out, I immediately disliked it. But I decided to give it a fair shake and tried to evaulate it in good faith. I wasn’t interested in paying for it, but they had a form for FOSS community members to apply for a free subscription, so I filled it out...

- It’s time to be right. Outcomes continue to matter. Earlier this week, I spoke at AI Dev 26. This is what I spoke about there. I’ve been making money, in some form, building software for nearly 30 years. The last five months have been the most exciting of that entire time. I’m...
- Blog About Moonbound Shop This is a post from Robin Sloan’s lab blog & notebook. You can visit the blog’s homepage, or learn more about me. April 30, 2026 I am not an LLM superuser — in the sense that I am not locked in all day, marshaling My Dutiful Minions; I have no minions...

- What a month! GitHub went down six million times, eleven thousand Vercel security holes have been unveiled, Copilot doesn’t accept new signups due to a super unsustainable business model (finally someone admitted it), Anthropic landed on top of Hacker News billions of times due...
- “If it compiles, it works.” This feeling is one of the main things Rust engineers love most about Rust, and a reason why using it with coding agents is especially nice. After debugging some code that compiled but mysteriously stopped in production, I realized that it’s useful to...
This week
- I just released LLM 0.32a0, an alpha release of my LLM Python library and CLI tool for accessing LLMs, with some consequential changes that I’ve been working towards for quite …

- Chris Parsons has updated his guide on using AI to code. This is his third update, what I like about it is that he gives a lot of concrete information about how he uses AI, with sufficient detail that we can learn from him. His advice also resonates with the better advice I’ve...
- A long-running agent can keep making progress over hours, days, or weeks. It can do this across many context windows and sandboxes, recover from failure, leave structured artifacts behind, and resume where it left off....
- Instead of deploying the traditional query understanding + reranking combo, can we let an agent do all the work?...
- Writing this makes me irrationally sad, but Ghostty will be leaving GitHub1. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. Since then, I've opened GitHub every single day. Every day, multiple times per day, for over 18 years. Over half my life. A handful of exceptions in there (I'd...
- The new Animation Timeline API allows us to create dynamic scroll animations without any JavaScript! It’s honestly a very lovely API, and in this blog post, we’ll explore some of the super cool things we can do with it....
- LLM programming assistants have demonstrated considerable value, but mostly with individual developers. The internal IT organization in Thoughtworks has been using them for their teams and have developed a method and workflow called Structured Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD)....
- I’ve been thinking about speed which is why Chris Coyier caught my attention in his latest piece discussing how AI might be 10✕ing the speed with which we code, but it’s not making our software 10✕ better: Faster individuals don’t make a fast company My mind immediately went to...
- April 27, 2026 There have been experiments involving language models trained on vintage text before, but they lingered mostly in the realm of the gimmick; Talkie is notable both for its size — the largest such model so far, 13B parameters trained on 260B tokens written...
- Designers have been complaining for decades that what ships doesn’t match what they designed. The fix isn’t better handoffs or AI tools. It’s engineers who can see what designers see....
- Most 1:1s waste your team's only protected synchronous time on status updates. Here's how to run ones worth showing up for....
- Here’s the best career advice I ever received as a product manager: “product-manage your own career.” I wish I’d internalized it sooner. Early in my career, I stayed quiet and did good work, assuming the right people would notice. Spoiler: they didn’t—not because the work wasn’t...
- Over the last four months I’ve increased my use of AI for web dev work pretty dramatically. I use it every day at work, as do most of my coworkers. I don’t think it’s disputed anymore that AI-assisted development can save a lot of time and effort. The question is, what do we do...
- I’ve been noticing a lot of service outages lately. Some with few enough nines that you’d think they were going for a low score. My guess: this is probably going to get worse before it gets better. But maybe not for the reasons you’d think. First off, let’s look at GitHub. It...
- For many years, Microsoft and OpenAI’s relationship has included a weird clause saying that, should AGI be achieved, Microsoft’s commercial IP rights to OpenAI’s technology would be null and void. …
