If you're building a Jev-style "System One" model, please add prompt caching or reusable question sets to your API 🙏. This would make batch use cases even more efficient, so you could amortize the cost of many questions asked over the same input. (This was also proposed in typesafe-ai/typesafe-sdk-js#10.) TL;DR:...

Like many other software engineers, my coding workflow has changed dramatically since the start of 2026. And like many others, I've felt some mix of awe, grief, frenetic productivity, atrophying skills, and understanding less while shipping more. In this moment where the field is undergoing this rapid shift, I've...

Hi friends, Many of you mistakenly got onboarding emails yesterday. I'm sorry about that. I was tweaking the way emails are sent to new users and accidentally sent it out to everyone.

“If it compiles, it works.” This feeling is one of the main things Rust engineers love most about Rust, and a reason why using it with coding agents is especially nice. After debugging some code that compiled but mysteriously stopped in production, I realized that it’s useful to enable more Clippy lints to catch...

I have no connection to the authors of the Superpowers plugin for Claude Code, but I have been raving about it to everyone I talk to.
