- Today we're excited to announce Agent Builder — a space for teams to build and share agents. Think about Agent Builder as a composable agent studio: Developers......
Yesterday
- At the GOTO Conference in Copenhagen in 2025, Kent Beck and I spent some time on stage talking and answering questions from the audience - a format I refer to as “two old geezers on a park bench”. We talk about our experiences with LLM-augmented programming (at that point -...

- Build, customize, and deploy production agents that reason, execute code, and manage files inside secure Linux sandboxes as a single API call....
- High end NVIDIA cards, and the server and power needed to run them, cost a lot of money, especially if you plan to reach enough VRAM to run massive models. The alternative, so far, has been Apple hardware, or the DGX Spark that, even if severely limited because of memory...
- Starting more agents is easy now. However, more agents running doesn't mean more of you available - your cognitive bandwidth doesn't parallelize. All the judgement to actually steer them and merge the code they write into the codebase still has to route through exactly one...
- The current AI pricing was always going to go away. It just doesn’t make sense. Microsoft canceled internal Claude Code licenses this week (for whatever reason, even if it’s because they integrated it), Uber blew its entire 2026 AI budget in four months, and GitHub is dropping...
- 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. May 21, 2026 Justin Duke, he of Buttondown, writes: Almost all of [our recent spike in growth] I attribute to LLMs. We ask people when they...
- We just announced the first release of Datasette Agent, a new extensible AI assistant for Datasette. I’ve been working on my LLM Python library for just over three years now, …
Last week
- In April last year, Kelsey Piper discovered that OpenAI’s o3 model was surprisingly good at figuring out where a photo was taken from. Like human “geoguessr” pros, o3 could sometimes take a nondescript photo of a beach and tell you exactly where it is. Here’s the example Kelsey...
- Vibe coding is building a software application by prompting an LLM, telling it what to build, trying it out, prompting for changes - but without looking at any of the code that the LLM generates. This technique can be used by people without any knowledge of programming. However...
- 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. May 20, 2026 My post about AI-generated supercustomized email marketing produced many replies and much commiseration. And, in the days...
- It’s common and correct to say that “all code is technical debt”. Adding code is a necessary evil for developing new features: you almost always have to do it, but each line of code adds to the complexity and maintenance burden of the system. All future changes to the system...
- Today at Google I/O, Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash. This one skipped the -preview modifier and went straight to general availability, and Google appear to be using it for a …
- Your coding agent already writes Mastra code. Now it can help run your Mastra projects too. The new Mastra CLI is your agent's direct line to the runtime. It ca......
- Chapters 1 & 2 of our AI & Design Systems Course are live! 🎉 Our course now has over 16 hours of videos, which includes course lessons, community jam sessions, and other demonstrations. TJ, Ian, and I have been busting our asses, and are […]...
- EDIT: of course this was already done in the past! I had little doubts but people just confirmed me about it on Twitter :) But, keep reading: the CRC32 compromise at the end is an interesting tradeoff, and this is a good discussion to have in general. Right now I'm working to an...
- I put together these annotated slides from my five minute lightning talk at PyCon US 2026, using the latest iteration of my annotated presentation tool. # I presented this lightning …
- Silicon Valley executives used to complain about “the Great Resignation” to justify replacing people with machines. Now, they have suddenly changed their tune to sound like generous givers. Figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk now claim that artificial intelligence will...
- Mastra agents and the Client SDK now support the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol by default. Run A2A agents as Mastra subagents, or invoke them via the Client SDK......
- What’s Easy Now? What’s Hard Now? This is the fourth in a series about how AI is changing software development, after It’s time to be right., What about juniors?, and My heuristics are wrong. What now?. It stands alone, but if you found this interesting you may also find those...
- I want to talk about this moment in time, this AI era, through the lens of grief. Grief is a powerful response to loss. When we think about grief, we often think about death, but it’s taken me a long […]...
