A practical field guide to agentic loops—the simplest unit of useful agent work—has been synthesized from current practice by Addy Osmani, Peter Steinberger, Boris Cherny, and others. The guide explai…
Ponytail, a plugin for AI coding agents created by DietrichGebert, has gained over 44,000 GitHub stars in nine days by injecting a 'lazy senior developer' ruleset that forces agents to minimize code o…
The Software Freedom Conservancy released a set of 14 recommendations for open-source contributors using AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Copilot CLI, prioritizing best practices for integrat…
Anthropic has integrated Dropbox into Claude, allowing users to connect their Dropbox accounts across Claude.ai, the desktop app, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code. The setup requires a one-time authenti…
A developer shares a workflow for turning Claude-generated HTML artifacts into live preview URLs. The approach covers single-file uploads, CLI deployment, and integration with agentic coding tools, em…
A consensus is emerging on securing the agentic software development lifecycle (SDLC) as AI coding agents increasingly ship to production, but ready-to-use security solutions remain elusive. The numbe…
Open-source coding agents have matured to rival Claude Code in 2026, offering model-agnostic, auditable, and self-hostable alternatives. Leading projects include OpenCode (161k GitHub stars), OpenAI C…
Travis, a staff engineer with 20 years of experience, built Flywheel, an AI workflow automation platform, solo in 11 months, resulting in a 325,000-line codebase with 702 commits. The platform combine…
A developer with over a decade of web development experience describes their journey using AI tools like Claude Code, emphasizing the importance of harness engineering and critical oversight. They cau…
A developer documented workarounds for breaking changes in Anthropic's Claude Code CLI tool, including pinning version 1.0.17, disabling auto-updates, and patching the `exit_plan_mode` popup to preven…
A developer argues that AI is not replacing junior developers but rather automating repetitive junior tasks, allowing engineers to focus on higher-level problem-solving. The developer observes that AI…
TestSprite announced its Season 3 Hackathon with a $5,000 prize pool, themed around Loop Engineering for AI coding workflows. Participants use AI coding agents to write code while the open-source Test…
A developer built two AI tools—TeachSim and GitHub Digest—and realized the second tool revealed how they should be learning AI. The developer found that hands-on projects with real stakes led to deepe…
A developer argues that the software industry is measuring engineers with outdated metrics like lines of code or number of commits, while AI tools have made code generation cheap. The real value now l…
A developer built an AI-powered application in 30 minutes using tools like Cursor and Claude Code, but found that the code required significant rewriting days later due to skipped software engineering…
A developer created leak_probe.py, an 80-line Python tool that checks which secrets actually ship in an npm package versus those found in the git repository. Testing showed 6 secret hits in the repo b…
Halyard, an open-source AI work ledger for developers, launched in alpha to track time, tokens, cost, and invoices across AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor. The tool captures session metadata as pl…
A Korean developer analysis revealed that Claude Code's 'Extended Thinking' text is a 600-character encrypted signature, not the model's reasoning, making agent audits impossible. Meanwhile, Anthropic…
Developers can now run Zhipu AI's GLM 5.2 model inside Anthropic's Claude Code coding environment by routing API calls through OpenRouter, using the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variable to point to…
Loop engineering, a new trend in software development, allows engineers to design autonomous coding agents that operate without human intervention, freeing them from manual prompting. The concept, pop…
