You’re probably reading this on your second monitor while Cursor or Claude Code runs in the background, autocompleting your thoughts before you finish them. But what if I told you the IDE—that thing you’ve spent...
What if you could clone yourself at work? Not physically, but cognitively—spawning multiple “you”s to tackle different tasks simultaneously while you orchestrate from above. That’s essentially what a growing number of software engineers are doing...
Your AI coding agent is only as good as the context you give it. And in 2026, getting that context right has become an art form. Martin Fowler’s team just published a comprehensive breakdown of...
The IDE is dead. Long live Vi. That’s not hyperbole—it’s the lived experience of David Crawshaw, who just shared his updated perspective on programming with AI agents after eight months of intensive use. And his...
A quiet revolution is happening in how developers work. Instead of focusing on one task at a time—the traditional “flow state” approach—engineers are increasingly kicking off multiple AI agents simultaneously, managing several workstreams in parallel....
$20,000 in API fees. Two weeks. Zero orchestration. Sixteen Claude Opus 4.6 instances working in parallel just produced a 100,000-line C compiler that can build a bootable Linux kernel. This is either a glimpse of...
One year ago, AI coding assistants could write maybe a quarter of a developer’s code. Today? The latest models can generate nine-tenths of it. This isn’t hype—it’s the lived experience of developers working at the...
In 2021, the IDE had won. Copilot made auto-complete so powerful that fighting with environment integration seemed worth it. Four years later, David Crawshaw—founder at Tailscale and Sketch—is back on Vi. Vi is turning 50...
What happens when you let 16 Claude instances collaborate on building a C compiler that can compile the Linux kernel? Anthropic’s Nicholas Carlini just showed us—and the results challenge everything we thought we knew about...
Building AI agents that interact with Slack? You’ve probably discovered the hard way that the Slack API returns massive JSON blobs that burn through your context window. Agent-Slack takes a different approach: ship a CLI...
