Today
- 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....
Yesterday
- 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...
This week
- 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. …
- A practical use case for rendering HTML+CSS to a canvas, an emerging API being previewed in Chrome....
- MCP servers are not dead. Blindly enabling them bloats your context, which leads to higher cost and worse performance. Here are two proven patterns on how to correctly use MCP servers and avoid the bloat....
- I abandoned graphical code editors years ago. Something that GUI IDEs like Visual Studio Code do really well is the diff preview. This is something I missed a little at the beginning, but since I started using Delta, I never missed the GUI again. I don’t remember how that...
- As part of my efforts in reducing my dependency on Big Tech, I have been researching how to self-host my password manager. One solution that looks very promising is Vaultwarden, an open source clone of the Bitwarden cloud server. An interesting aspect of this server is that it...
- I initially published this tip on r/neovim Reddit, and folks liked it. It will soon probably disappear in the maze of memes, so it probably makes sense for it to be a blog post. Here it is. Do you know the substitute command :s in Vim/NeoVim? I bet you do! :s/one/two But did you...
- I don’t think there’s compelling evidence that using AI makes you less intelligent overall1. However, it seems pretty obvious that using AI to perform a task means you don’t learn as much about performing that task. Some software engineers think this is a decisive argument...
- Chinese AI lab DeepSeek’s last model release was V3.2 (and V3.2 Speciale) last December. They just dropped the first of their hotly anticipated V4 series in the shape of two …
- Nilay Patel put out an excellent Decoder episode today. In it, he dove into the idea of “software brain”, which is something he’s been workshopping during the past several Vergecast episodes. It’s his attempt to explain why so many Silicon Valley folks are head over heels about...
- GPT-5.5 is out. It’s available in OpenAI Codex and is rolling out to paid ChatGPT subscribers. I’ve had some preview access and found it to be a fast, effective and …
- LlamaIndex have a most excellent open source project called LiteParse, which provides a Node.js CLI tool for extracting text from PDFs. I got a version of LiteParse working entirely in …
