Vercel's directive strategy is getting mixed reactions "use client" "use server" and now "use workflow" mark boundaries across their ecosystem. On X and Hacker News there's significant pushback. Multiple 1000+ upvote threads discuss Next.js directive confusion. The concerns are…

Uber built QueryGPT to cut SQL writing time from 10 mins to 3 mins per query It saves them 140,000 hours monthly. But the interesting part isn't the time savings. It's what they had to compromise to get there. They use a 4 agent pipeline: intent classifier, table selector,…

The dystopian future isn't where AI writes all the code. It's where we stop understanding what we build. Where abstractions stack so high we forget the fundamentals. Where we ship features without asking why. The real nightmare is losing our curiosity, not our jobs.

AI enterprise adoption might be fastest in history for starting pilots But 88% of those pilots never reach production. Only 19% of companies reach meaningful integration. ChatGPT hit 100M users in 2 months. Electricity took 25 years, telephone 50 years, internet 7 years to…

Most teams think build test deploy is a complete CI/CD pipeline 83 percent of companies use basic CI/CD but only 46% adopted the practices that prevent production disasters. Only 15% deploy with canaries. Only 22% have automatic rollback. When things break 78% are manually…

The 2025 Stack Overflow survey shows something wild 84 percent of developers use AI tools but only 33% trust the output. That's down from 43% last year. We're not adopting because it works well. We're adopting because we think we have to. The gap between usage and trust keeps…

Will every engineer become an orchestrator of multiple coding agents? The industry says yes but the data says maybe 30% Multi agent workflows deliver real gains on complex tasks. Lovable cut release cycles 30% with @langchainai. SRE teams reduced incident response 60%. 3x…

People love to hate on Homebrew now but I'm not switching Yeah Nix guarantees your builds work everywhere and mise has better version management. And the security audit found real issues. I get it. But Homebrew still does roughly 688k installs per day because it actually works.…

AI coding tools work best because most software engineering isn't actually engineering Microsoft found developers spend 15% of time writing code. The rest is meetings, debugging, integration work. When they do code, 72% comes from third party packages. GitHub analyzed 1,000…

If you don't build account deletion into your product you've already lost trust before anyone even signs up 75 percent of users check deletion policies before creating accounts. Products with transparent deletion see 20 to 25 percent higher trial conversions. High exit friction…

.@mitchellh said he started HashiCorp with a divine mission to eliminate YAML from the world. Then Kubernetes came out and cemented it as the infrastructure standard. The industry split is real. YAML won infrastructure (80 percent of orgs run Kubernetes in production) but nobody…

AI code review tools claim to catch bugs but the data tells a more complex story Best tools (Greptile) hit 82 percent detection on security patterns. Worst (CodeRabbit) manage 44 percent. False positives sit at 14 to 22 percent across the board. Logic errors remain the blind…

Seeing takes that agents are just workflows with LLMs That fundamentally misses the architecture. Workflows execute predetermined steps with static branching. Agents maintain memory across sessions, self reflect on failures, and discover new tool combinations mid execution. The…

Agentic coding works until the agent goes off track Background agents can burn hours pursuing the wrong approach with no way to stop them mid-execution. By the time you realize they've diverged you've already wasted the compute and the time. Interactive human in the loop…

Mental model that made @claudeai Code click for me: slash commands are the "what" and skills are the "how" Commands capture intent. Skills provide implementation. This keeps concerns separated. You define what you want done without specifying how to do it. The skill handles all…

.@ExaAILabs I'm obsessed with your deep research offering but can't buy credits Your billing doesn't support RBI's mandatory OTP codes for Indian cards. Most international platforms don't handle the OTP system India requires. Would really appreciate support for Indian payment…

GitHub launched agentic code review on Monday and the data on AI code review tools is finally getting interesting Marketing claims hit 95 percent bug detection. Actual empirical studies show 39 to 43 percent precision and 14 to 39 percent recall on security bugs. False positive…

Principal engineers don't build features. They build the systems that make features possible. Your job isn't to write more code. It's to decide what code doesn't need to exist. The best technical decisions feel like product decisions. The best product decisions feel like…

.@cursor_ai and @windsurf just shipped models optimized for speed. Sub 3 second responses, tight feedback loops, developers stay in control. This is the opposite direction from @github Agent HQ. Fire off tasks, wait 15 minutes, check back later. Async promises parallelization…

The console.log vs OpenTelemetry debate assumes console.log can't work in production My team runs a large enterprise app with console.log feeding into CloudWatch. Search, filter, metrics, alarms. It works. 74 percent of developers use console.log first and many never need to…
