Adding an AGENTS md file is low hanging fruit to get good results from your AI coding agent. Use Claude Code's `/init` on a new repo and you have one ready to go. If your AI coding agent doesn't have this command, it's super easy to build one: kau.sh/blog/build-a...

I often hear from devs that AI coding is great for the simpler one-off tasks but it struggles the minute you're working on slightly bigger tasks or working on tasks that operate across modules etc. i've found success even with these tasks. here's how I think about it: kau.sh/blog/three-r...

I tried an experiment: could I vibe-code my way through unfamiliar territory? Ended up shipping my first Firefox add-on. 🚦https://kau.sh/blog/container-traffic-control/ it can work... if you’re ruthless about pruning.

excited to end the @fragmentedpodcast.com hiatus with a new season: a developer's crash course on #AI #programming just enough theory but more "how do I actually build with this?" i'll start with fluency, then dive deep. help me shape the first few episodes:

A terminal command that tells you if your USB-C cable is bad. kau.sh/blog/usbi/

@kau.sh on theme with your blog post (kau.sh/blog/reclaim...) I wrote a chrome / Firefox plugin to rip the dashes away from ChatGPTs grimy… tensor cores? (Idk) github.com/simonsickle/... Should be in the Mozilla and Chrome web stores in the next few days after reviews are done

Why thank you Claude 🙏 Migration from Compose Navigation 2 → Jetpack Navigation 3 ✅ #AndroidDev

Google still knows how to really swag 😍 #Gemini

one of the reasons I love reading posts, on the same topic, by different authors, is that it hones my understanding. oh and coroutines is a maze that requires constant honing. each author brings their outlook and i pick up more nuggets of info along the way. looking forward to the next posts!

The official Android docs on test doubles are quite needed today. Please write fakes 🙏 , avoid mocks as possible. Assert output state, not behavior. Think of a program or a logical part of it as: input->output https://developer.android.com/training/testing/fundamentals/test-doubles

My God. #Andor is fantastic. You don't have to be a fan of Star Wars at all and it's fantastic cinema. The story telling, the build up of tension... these characters don't bear the Star Wars halo and yet is the best TV show in that universe. Tony Gilroy & team have weaved magic with this series.

Getting Into Flow State with Agentic Coding I recently found myself in a deep state of flow while coding with agents. I put together a workflow that seems to work for me, and I’m sharing the details and exact prompts I use in case it’s useful to others. kau.sh/blog/agentic...

Also, in the event the person in that story’s comments who asked about the wallpaper sees this: sorry I never answered. It’s this one: dynamicwallpaper.club/wallpaper/g3...

what is stopping you from heading to 🦊 at this point? Chrome has removed uBlock Origin - only the most useful extension on the planet.

I heard a developer say, "I only use AI for autocompletion." That's two generations behind! The field has moved fast and the real action is happening elsewhere. I took sometime to map out how #AIProgramming has evolved. Where we are and where we're headed next? Read more - kau.sh/blog/ai-prog...

If you hop around different AI Programming tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Junie - maintaining a common set of system instructions is a *pain*. Read my post to see how you can keep them in sync! kau.sh/blog/agents-...

thanks for sharing my post AW 🙇‍♂️

AI won't replace good engineers - it'll make them invaluable. Read more of my thoughts on this (inspired by some other articles i've been reading/following) kau.sh/blog/ai-engi...

only downside of the ChatGPT writing era – you read this and assume it was written by AI.

super excited about the Amper updates specifically (amidst all the other awesome news) I am curios though, how the overall Gradle strategy (for mobile specifically) will play out. but exciting developments blog.jetbrains.com/amper/2025/0...

Thank you Kotlin Weekly for continuing to feed my love for Kotlin and (misplaced?) need to use it for almost anything and everything I can ❤️. (... and for sharing my article 🙏)

what a time to be alive & tinkering with new tech - Google IO & some wild real world demos - OpenAI talks about a new hardware product with arguably the best designer of our time - Claude 4 drops with even more improvements on what was a fantastic coding model candy keeps comin

this could be really really nice for those LLM pro typing ideas that we had to use python for.

Bold move 👀 github.com/Kotlin/kotli...

demos in this age of AI is really interesting. we're all at the edge of our seats hoping (for the presenter's sake) that their live demos work. we've collectively become ok with LLMs working half the time 😅

some of the best tutorials on jetpack compose ui and animations 👏

I use Taildrop basically as my AirDrop for Android kau.sh/blog/taildrop/

and they wonder why the relationship with devs is increasingly strained ...

Damn @chrisbanes.me ; you were onto something here 😉 www.androidauthority.com/android-new-...

and by this definition I think LLM AIs will systematically replace coding first, programming next (😢) and software engineering last. so to remain relevant in this new world, imho become a stronger software engineer.

another 🌞 of #Kotlin coding and #Gemini 2.5 Pro is consistently giving me better results than #Claude 3.7 🧘‍♂️ this is such a crazy time to be alive and witnessing such rapid changes.

it truly boggles my mind that chrome for Android still doesn't have a bottom tab bar. they've got to be the last holdout on this otherwise super obvious feature.

Why I still podcast for @fragmentedpodcast.com ❤️ kau.sh/blog/fragmen...

Adding Dark mode to my Henry theme kau.sh/blog/automat... all on a ✈️ ride back home.

you know how when GitHub is down, all the devs around you decide it's time to take that mid day stroll or ☕. I think we're going to get to a point where every time Cursor/ or the AI tool of your choice goes down, same thing will happen.

Just upgraded my #Hugo (blog) theme to @tailwindcss.com v4. The entire setup is even simpler now. kau.sh/blog/tailwin...

AirPods Max can now be a great option for podcasters! kau.sh/blog/airpods...

I use Cursor on Android codebases pretty often to also just diagnose the problem faster. I can just paste a blob of error messages and ask it to do a first pass. does it get it perfectly right? nope. but it immediately points out the interesting bits, that let me identify the problem much faster.

AI has made coding a lot more fun again. I get to code the interesting parts of a feature and pass off all the tedium to AI.
