Prompts are temporary. Specs are forever. OpenAI’s Sean Grove calls specs the “new code.” They force you to decide what good output looks like before you run the AI. Think reusable clauses, version control, IDEs that validate your spec as you write. 🧵 #AINativeDev #AIEngineering

AI coding tools are powerful, but without structure, they drift. Claude Taskmaster attempts to fix that, and its growth has been explosive. In just 9 weeks the repo's jumped from 0 → 15,500 stars 🌟

Why code alone isn’t enough anymore 🚫💻 Most AI tools today just help us write more code, but the real shift is moving beyond code as the source of truth. At our first London meetup, we dug into a better approach: spec-driven development.

🔥 Roasting your README with AI? Shopify just open-sourced Roast, a Ruby framework for reliable, versioned AI workflows.

Structure > force. One structured prompt = same accuracy as eight unstructured ones (via Will Kurt, .txt). For Claude Code users: clearer specs mean faster output, less context bloat, reusable prompts. 🔗 Read how specs can elevate your coding workflow. ainativedev.co/bm3 #ClaudeCode #SpecDriven

Taming Claude Code for CI/CD? Terminal setup is easy. Scripting it for pipelines? Not so much! Jump into a quick guide on automating Claude for DevOps: ✅ API key scripting ✅ Direct config edits ✅ MCP server setup ✅ Pre-set tool permissions 🔗 ainativedev.co/0qn #ClaudeCode #AINativeDev #DevOps

Claude Taskmaster is blowing up in the AI dev world, and for good reason. It takes messy prompts to clean specs and bite-sized, dependency-aware tasks. Some devs report 90% fewer errors! 🧵

Agent-based coding ≠ just pair programming anymore. We’re seeing something bigger: ▪️ Parallel agents handling subtasks ▪️ Isolated envs via git worktrees + containers ▪️ New UIs for merge + review 🔗 Your guide to parallelizing AI coding agents: ainativedev.co/tg5 #ainativedev #aiagents

Parallel coding agents are changing the Developer workflow. With tools like Claude code we are exploring parallelization strategies like using git worktrees and containers. All for us to review what we want while the agents do the hard work! #AINativeDev #DevTools #DevOps

Cursor 1.0 just dropped. Its biggest update since launch, and a glimpse at where AI-native development is headed. New in this release • BugBot (inline PR reviews) • Async Background Agents • Jupyter + MCP support • Project Memories • Visual plans in chat 🧵⬇️

You log off. Your agents keep working. ⚙️ Augment Code’s Remote Agents are now available in VS Code. They handle refactors, tests, bug fixes, and docs, while you’re offline 🧵

“Vibe coding” with real UI context? Stagewise is an open-source VS Code extension that lets you click on a live UI element and prompt an AI to change it. It pipes in HTML, screenshots, and context, so the AI knows exactly what you mean. It’s early, but promising! #AINativeDev #FrontendDev

🎙 We're joining Port for a live webinar on how #GenAI is reshaping platform engineering. 📅 June 16 | 1PM EST We'll cover: - AI infra stack - Org design: Who owns what - How IDPs deliver GenAI to devs 📩 Register: ainativedev.co/4f2 #AIEngineer #AINativeDev #Webinar

📝 Specs are the new code. Prompting was just the start. The next level of AI-native development is Specification Driven Development and Sean Grove (OpenAI) nailed why 🧵

🚧 Using AI tools like you did 6 months ago is a mistake. ↳ Coding agents are reshaping how we interact with code editors and prompts. Patrick Debois shares insights from the AI Engineer World’s Fair, including what’s working in practice. 🔗 ainativedev.co/qz4 #AINativeDev #AIDev #AIEngineer

devs: you might want to try this one 👀 Mistral's new open-source model for coding agents, Devstral, hit 46.8% on SWE-bench verified. That’s higher than some proprietary giants. We tested it, check out the write up! ainativedev.co/fa9 #ainative #opensourceai #devstral

Connecting your agent to GitHub? Invariant uncovered a case where a malicious issue can prompt your agent to leak private repo data to a public PR. No malware involved, just prompt injection.

Agents are the new users. Netlify’s CEO argues it’s time to design platforms for bots, not just humans. He calls it Agent Experience (AX). Could it be the next evolution after UX and DX? Dion Almaer breaks it down here: ainativedev.co/1yd #AX #AIdev #AgentExperience

GitHub’s Copilot Agent now runs in the cloud; drafting PRs, writing code, and iterating on reviews autonomously. It respects CI rules and repo protections, and uses server configs (MCP) for tool access. We got hands-on with the dev experience: 🔗 ainativedev.co/chg #Build2025 #AIdev #AINativeDev

Most code models generate one token at a time. Gemini Diffusion doesn’t. It denoises full sequences in parallel, with: - Major speed gains (~5x over Gemini Flash) - Built-in error correction Is it production-ready? Not yet. Is it interesting? We think so. ➡️ https://www.ainativedev.co/99j #LLM#AI

JVM devs, this one’s for you: Rod Johnson (Spring) just dropped an OSS agent framework. JVM-native, Kotlin-based, and focused on agentic flows mixing LLM-prompted interactions with code and domain models. #Java #Kotlin #AINativeDev #News #OSS

Sourcegraph's Amp is now open to everyone! Amp is their new agentic coding tool built for deep prompting, VS Code-native workflows, and real developer feedback loops. Dion Almaer comments on this release: https://www.ainativedev.co/a00 #AINativeDev #AITools #VSCode #AgenticCoding

Gemini Diffusion might be easy to overlook, but it could quietly shift how code gets generated. Instead of predicting tokens left to right, it refines full sequences in parallel. - ~1500 tokens/sec. - Less locked-in errors. - Better for editing and refactoring. ➡️ https://www.ainativedev.co/99j

12 MCP Servers That Will Make You A More Productive Developer. MCP servers are like APIs for your agent’s brain. You define the tools. The agent learns to use them. And suddenly, your LLM can run a Docker container or file a GitHub issue. 👉 12 MCP servers to tinker with: www.ainativedev.co/409

Jonathan Ellis built DataStax (acquired by IBM). Now he’s building something new. Brokk is a Java-based code intelligence engine designed to help AI reason across large, complex codebases. It’s early, open source, and doing things ASTs can’t: https://www.ainativedev.co/d0v #AINativeDev #DevTools

At the AI Native DevCon 2025, Guy Podjarny shares a vision for how AI can start giving real commitments, not just code suggestions. Discover more about it in Patrick Debois' review: https://www.ainativedev.co/jbi #AINativeDev #DevTools #FutureOfDevelopment

The GitHub MCP server lets you ask Copilot things like: “Show me my private repos” or “Close this issue.” It’s not doing anything you couldn’t script before - but now it’s structured, context-aware, and a meaningful step forward for repo/agentic workflows -> https://www.ainativedev.co/5a4

Better prompts won’t fix trust. We need to move from AI that suggests to AI that commits. Read Patrick Debois’s take on Guy Podjarny’s perspective on spec-centric software development: https://www.ainativedev.co/jbi #AINativeDev #DevTools #FutureOfDevelopment

GitHub released its own MCP server. You can now use Copilot to do things like: - Find files across a repo - Open issues - Query repo state With Copilot's open-sourcing on VS Code, devs get richer context, greater customization, and enhanced workflows -> www.ainativedev.co/5a4

Brokk uses Joern to give its AI platform rich type-aware context (even across huge, messy codebases). It’s not Python. It’s not JavaScript. -> It’s early, JVM-bound, and it's open source: https://www.ainativedev.co/d0v #AINativeDev #Brokk #DevTools #OpenSourceDev

@sjmaple and Joe swapped codebases and AI tools—Cursor vs Windsurf—and tried to add natural disasters to each other’s town sims. No prep. No context. No mercy. The result? Brittle code, broken loops, and real insights into how AI tools behave under time pressure: https://www.ainativedev.co/3a5

Can AI keep its Commitments? Can We Trust AI to Deliver? Guy Podjarny, founder at Tessl (and Snyk), discusses building trust through specification-driven development at the AI Native DevCon 2025. ➡️ https://www.ainativedev.co/jbi #AINativeDev #SoftwareEngineering #DevTools #FutureOfDevelopment

Lovable 2.0 just shipped chat‑to‑app agents, custom domain deploys & tighter security. Great for PMs & designers, but can it ship production code? Read about this news piece on:-> www.ainativedev.co/l20 #AINativeDev #DevTools #Lovable

Code can break down when context gets too big. Jonathan Ellis, co-founder of DataStax (acquired by IBM), built Brokk in an attempt to fix it. No Tree Sitter involved, but full type inference with Joern. Dion Almaer takes a spin with it in: https://www.ainativedev.co/d0v #AINativeDev #Brokk #DevTool

History repeats: Visual Basic empowered non-coders decades ago. Lovable 2.0 now does the same with AI. Can it truly democratize app-building, or will dev oversight remain essential? Explore this exciting news with @bapfernandez.bsky.social -> www.ainativedev.co/l20 #AINativeDev

Two devs. Two fragile AI-coded towns. One surprise prompt: “Add natural disasters.” Simon Maple and Joe Holdcroft dive into each other’s unfinished prototypes using Cursor and Windsurf. The exchange takes an interesting turn: https://www.ainativedev.co/3a5 #AINativeDev #BASE44 #Cursor #Windsurf

Our own @dalmaer spent weeks testing Claude Code. His verdict? It's exciting, especially if you pair it with clear specs. Check out his workflows and practical tips: www.ainativedev.co/1xk #ClaudeCode #AINativeDev #DevTools #Anthropic

@RealGeneKim just spent time with the infamous Steve Yegge, vibe coding 12K LoC/day... and he has stories to share from the experience! #AINativeDev

What do you think these are without knowing any context? 🙂 #AINativeDev

Ray Myers is going to maybe make us feel a lil uncomfortable as he asks: Will the developers’ role evolve, or vanish entirely? Are we heading toward an Innovator’s Paradise or an Infinite Pile of Garbage? #AINativeDev
