A few random notes from claude coding quite a bit last few weeks. Coding workflow. Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in

I spoke with @LaulPatricia about Marxism: One is: What’s remarkable is that Marxism has been tried. Now, of course, defenders of Marxism say it hasn’t really been tried anywhere, but certainly the people who implemented it claimed they were implementing Marxism. And this is a

My favorite new thing to use! GitHub Copilot CLI + M365 Copilot. GitHub can use the WorkIQ MCP to get stuff done with AI. https://t.co/enlLACiKvt The demo I've wanted for years - use AI to read the specs in SharePoint and write a prototype 💚.

This week we shipped the GitHub Copilot SDK which takes the agent loop from the Copilot CLI and makes it easy to embed in other applications. We’ve been using, improving, and extending Copilot CLI...

Weekend win: The proof I submitted for Erdos Problem #397 was accepted by Terence Tao. The proof was generated by GPT 5.2 Pro and formalized with Harmonic. Many open problems are sitting there, waiting for someone to prompt ChatGPT to solve them:

Like @davidbessis and others, I think that Hinton is wrong. To explain why, let me tell you a brief story. About a decade ago, in 2017, I developed an automated theorem-proving framework that was ultimately integrated into Mathematica (see: https://t.co/nGCIUk44TP) (1/15)
Geoffrey Hinton says mathematics is a closed system, so AIs can play it like a game. They can pose problems to themselves, test proofs, and learn from what works, without relying on human examples. “I think AI will get much better at mathematics than people, maybe in the next

You can't let the slop and cringe deny you the wonder of AI. This is the most exciting thing we've made computers do since we connected them to the internet. If you spent 2025 being pessimistic or skeptical on AI, why not give the start of 2026 a try with optimism and curiosity?

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit. My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become

Must read even if you think you are great at performance analysis and tuning. On top of practical usefulness, it is a really enjoyable read. We always underestimate how small details compound to large differences.
Performance Hints Over the years, my colleague Sanjay Ghemawat and I have done a fair bit of diving into performance tuning of various pieces of code. We wrote an internal Performance Hints document a couple of years ago as a way of identifying some general principles and we've

I love the expression “food for thought” as a concrete, mysterious cognitive capability humans experience but LLMs have no equivalent for. Definition: “something worth thinking about or considering, like a mental meal that nourishes your mind with ideas, insights, or issues that

A reset button for rotation could change how we control them all. Is it possible to cancel out a complicated spin without painstakingly reversing every single move? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Mathematicians Jean-Pierre Eckmann (University of Geneva) and Tsvi Tlusty
