Addy Osmani, who spent 14 years at Google working on Chrome DevTools and developer experience, discussed how AI agents are reducing the cost of producing output, making specification and evaluation th…
Addy Osmani, a 14-year Google veteran who led Chrome DevTools and Core Web Vitals, discusses his transition to AI engineering in the latest Pragmatic Engineer podcast, revealing that he built a web br…
A developer's essay introduces 'comprehension debt,' a term coined by Jason Gorman, to describe the gap between what AI-generated code does and what human teams understand about it. The piece argues t…
A solo developer's $2,430 refactor of 189 files in a 717,725-line TypeScript codebase probes agentic coding's blind spot: changes with no test oracle. Joël Abenhaïm, a Paris-based developer, used AICo…
TransferGit, a new platform, values GitHub profiles like soccer players, assigning market values and positions based on commit, PR, star, and streak analysis. The top-ranked developer is Linus Torvald…
Addy Osmani introduced the term 'loop engineering' in June 2026, describing a new layer of AI system design where the system itself decides when to stop, retry, or escalate a task, moving the final co…
A founder who relies on an AI agent to write most of the code for a multi-tenant B2B product describes a nine-phase pipeline with guardrail hooks, three AI reviewer personas, and a seven-check gate wa…
Boris Cherny, who runs Claude Code, told Business Insider in May that the phrase 'vibe coding' had started to annoy him, and he proposes 'AI-driven development' (AIDD) as a more precise name for build…
According to the DORA 2025 report, AI adoption amplifies existing engineering strengths and weaknesses, with stability declining for all teams as throughput rises. Developers using AI daily produce ro…
Search interest in 'agentic engineering' has surged relative to 'vibe coding,' narrowing the gap from 30-to-1 in July 2025 to roughly 2.5-to-1 by June 2026, according to Google Trends data analyzed by…
The Agentic AI Hub offers guided learning paths from basic AI concepts to running custom agents, featuring insights from experts like Dan Shapiro, Simon Willison, and Andrej Karpathy. The resource is …
A May 2026 Google whitepaper titled 'The New SDLC With Vibe Coding' argues that the software lifecycle retains its phases but shifts the bottleneck from writing code to specifying, verifying, and judg…
Martin Richards argues that the most important part of an agent harness is the content users add on top, not the runtime itself. Drawing on Viv Trivedy's formula Agent = Model + Harness, Richards sepa…
Loop engineering, a term coined by Addy Osmani in June 2026, is replacing prompt engineering as the dominant paradigm for coding agents, shifting focus from prompting models to designing autonomous lo…
The /goal function in OpenAI's Codex has shifted the author's understanding of AI-assisted coding from prompting an AI step-by-step to setting up autonomous loops where a system works until evidence s…
A developer argues that loop engineering, while useful for rapid prototyping, is not a production strategy and should be distinguished from the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The post warns th…
Three AI coding workflow frameworks—Superpowers by Jesse Vincent, Agent Skills by Addy Osmani, and Matt Pocock's Skills—have emerged as leading approaches to encode engineering process into structured…
Addy Osmani, a Google web engineer, released agent-skills, a repository packaging 24 production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents that cover the full lifecycle from spec to ship. The repo …
Only 5% of AI prototypes make it to production, with 95% falling into the validation abyss, according to data from MLQ.ai. Google engineers at YouTube solved this by building a prototyping stack that …
Loop engineering, a trend where developers design automated loops to prompt AI agents instead of writing prompts manually, has gained traction after Anthropic's Boris Cherny and OpenAI's Peter Steinbe…
