Soul of a New Machine is by far the best software engineering book I’ve ever read! Such a fascinating story. So long Tracy 👋

got remote ai coding sessions working with opencode webui and Tailscale this weekend!

specs and docs are useful but they are not the software. Nor are they the definitions of the software - that’s in our collective heads

I do get the discourse around “write it down” but still feel software engineering is an inherently social/creative process and we need to find ways to make Claude a natural part of that

is there anything like threads for Claude Code? Not separate sessions /subagents/teams - the same session with the ability to branch off at certain points to discuss something deeper whilst keeping the main thread going. Am I missing something and this is possible!?

definitely ship code quicker than before but the biggest difference these days is QUALITY. I’m writing typescript with levels of type safety and error handling that I didn’t even think was possible. Expertise that would have taken me years to obtain is now available to me as I iterate towards goal

You work for Lego? Drop the manufacturing tolerances on your bricks by 5% and my kids stop buying. Actually, that might be good for me.

do one way doors still exist? 🤔

> The question isn't whether you can afford to do it. It's whether you can afford to wait. 🎯

have found this to be true. intuition tells you a migration is necessary, now forging ahead allows you to dis/prove assumptions asap strawberrybrowser.com/blog/react-t...

myth: LLM-assisted coding means everyone is forced to use The Popular Framework forever reality: agents will happily migrate your entire app to The Good Framework inertia is a powerful drug but we are entering a world without moats, plan accordingly strawberrybrowser.com/blog/react-t...

so cool to see an official kiro power for Lambda durable functions! lots of key details in here for humans too github.com/aws/aws-dura...

check out scour.ing - neat platform for getting a feed from the firehoses of software hype My feed is here scour.ing/@luke

Could be wrong but feels like this was mainly built with AI. Seeing a lot of this type of project/website spring up Anyway, I wonder if this is a layer that more orgs will bring in-house. You don’t really more than bun serve/fetch but it does make sense to standardise middleware bunway.jointops.dev

I joked about the "QA engineer for my agents" thing earlier but it's honestly so peaceful to just sit and polish software with the help of agents. You can really fight a lot of slop with intentionality and attention to detail.

worm-blossom.org#y2026w8 This week! Part 5 of “why is worm-blossom called that” heads to the Pacific Ocean. Sammy feels like a frog. Aljoscha is heads down (but has provided a good tune nonetheless).

use the filesystem to describe your software (screaming architecture). prefer many small, scoped files rather than sprawling ones. turns out this is good for agents too! > A file called ./billing/invoices/compute.ts communicates much more than ./utils/helpers.ts bits.logic.inc/p/ai-is-forc...

don’t bloat your AGENTS.md - use it as a “table of contents” for your repo to progressively disclose info and instructions > A short AGENTS.md (roughly 100 lines) is injected into context and serves primarily as a map, with pointers to deeper sources of truth elsewhere openai.com/index/harnes...

really like the idea of continuous agents for reviewing integrated changes, updating docs, surfacing risks

got a nice little custom status line in Claude Code! model name, context % used and $ cost

Now on YouTube, Monday's CMU Database Seminar on Aurora DSQL. Thanks again to the awesome CMU folks (especially Andy Pavlo) for inviting me to do this talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK2h...

AI-generated code shifts the real burden of development onto *validation*, yes. But humans can't validate your code by reading it any more than tests can validate it by turning green. "Is it gonna work? Is it gonna work?? IS IT???" Bub, you don't get to know til you put it in production.

Very cool research on a CodeBuild misconfiguration which could have had significant consequences. I’m a bit disappointed that there wasn’t more done to secure the supply chain after the Q Developer incident. www.wiz.io/blog/wiz-res...

One of the interesting things about sprites to me is how similar they are to Durable Objects / Virtual Actors fly.io/blog/design-...

Off to the pub status.claude.com

I understand the devs who mourn the loss of their identities because agents write code pretty well now. This is your craft. You trained for this. But no one said you have to stop writing code to use agents. Chefs still cook. They just use microwaves and air fryers too.

This is a nice intro to Skills if you haven’t dug into them yet claude.com/blog/buildin... > Skills give Claude Code access to your procedural knowledge through progressive disclosure, revealing information in layers only when needed, rather than flooding the context window

What sort of thing are you using Claude Skills for? So far I’ve got skills for: - writing ADRs - creating Jira tickets (via acli jira) - developing Lambda functions - developing CDK stacks - enforcing typescript best practices - teaching patterns (tests, design patterns, DI, composition etc)

"Why is Claude Code better/worse than [other coding agent] - they’re both using the same models under the hood?" A reasonable question, so I spent some time reverse-engineering Claude Code's interactions with the model to illustrate why coding agent matters blog.thepete.net/blog/2025/12... 🧵...

This is utterly unhinged in the best possible way. High praise for running a tour of the plane while it's a quarter-built and mid-flight. steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-g... Some choice excerpts.

Perfect advice for blending a coding assistant into your workflow in 2026. If you’ve been put off or overwhelmed so far, Rizel’s approach could work for you!

My core dev stack changed in 2025: - Zed - Ghostty - Claude Code - Bun Still using Notion for notes, tldraw for canvas, GitHub + Copilot. In terms of AWS, 2026 is the year of the Lambda comeback and a drastic reduction in usage of other serverless glue/compute services. Let’s go!!

Wow a lot of LLM progress this year! Can’t believe Claude Code was only released in February and is already such a staple in a lot of engineers’ stacks

You guys the talk i did last week was kinda fire. Here’s a clip

Introducing Serverless @resonatehqio.bsky.social Build distributed, durable applications with Resonate's dead simple programming model, Distributed Asynchronous Await Now on serverless

Really interesting writeup from @unkey.com on their serverless exit. Let’s dig into the detail… www.unkey.com/blog/serverl...

I am kinda feeling like durable execution is going to be a very boring thing that's tablestakes at some point in the next N years (where N < 5).

hey @schickling.dev if I use @livestore.dev as an event-sourcing framework, am I locked into using SQLite as the event store or is this swappable? docs.livestore.dev/evaluation/e...
