Prompt engineering is hard. That's why we've been adding tons of features to the Anthropic Console to make the entire process easier for devs. Our goal is to cut the time you spend working on prompts by >90%. Here's a quick walkthrough:

You heard it here, 2nd.

Extremely excited for this release — the first one I made some humble contributions to 😊 You can try the new Sonnet and compare responses in the Anthropic workbench!

The European Parliament has built a tool called ‘Ask the EP Archives’ (also known as Archibot) that uses Claude to make their archives of ~2.1M documents available to researchers, policymakers, educators, and the public.

🧵Ok I'm someone who has followed the @RealPage price fixing conspiracy in the rental market closely, but this weekend I read the full @TheJusticeDept complaint and my jaw hit the floor. This was flagrant, far reaching and deliberate. Let's dig in. 1/7

"The simple email with less stuff got 13% more opens, a bunch of replies vs zero replies, and the same clickthrough rate (% of openers who clicked a link). It also took 30-50% less time to prepare, and is a lot easier to replicate" https://t.co/EKqBA3CyR3

"Fewer deps" is a value primarily because "less code" is a value, other things being equal. But! Factorization and modularity are *also* values. If you "remove a dep", but all you did was pull in the code locally, or give up functionality, it might not actually be an improvement.

I’ve been a fan of @x and many of its changes, except one. There’s a growing sentiment that if you post a link, you will get de-boosted by the algorithm. People are doing silly things like only including URLs as replies, muting them with hidden utf8 whitespace, and worst of all

If AI allows companies to be smaller, that will be a qualitative change. Lots of things break once organizations get big. We take it for granted, even in the startup world. But imagine if that stopped happening.

Not trying to talk shit but if your reaction to this code is visceral disgust I _urge_ you to get out of the web dev bubble occasionally. Top of my head: C# C++ Java Rust all have generic/template systems somewhat similar to this. Sometimes this job just requires hard work.

Early in my career, I joined a project that used a lot of SQL. I was new to SQL so I found an “intro to SQL” book on the company bookshelf, and read it over a weekend. From that point on, I was seen as an SQL expert amongst colleagues. It was a revelation about our industry.

My general rule of thumb on using classes is: 1. Use inheritance sparingly, and only one level deep 2. No abstract classes 3. No protected methods 4. Avoid method chaining most of the time

Late to the party, but watching Chernobyl. This disaster is a case study spot on to the findings of the book Accelerate, studies about organizational health. If you create a culture of fear or one where people can’t be honest about failure, all issues become worse.

every few years i see another startup try to "solve handoff" by making a design tool that generates prod code. it's happening again bc "oh, ai can solve this now" ime its impossible to solve design -> code workflow with the codegen approach and ppl should'nt try anymore

Most important thing in choosing a place to live might be looking at the people who live there who are 30 years older than you Do they look happy, fit and healthy? Or depressed, fat and unhealthy? It's hard to escape trajectories from your environment, so you'll probably become

Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack: 0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer). Read their words👇🏻 1/

yesterday a senior engineering leader inside openai told me that gpt5 has achieved such an unexpected step function gain in reasoning capability that they now believe it will be independently capable of figuring out how to make chatgpt no longer log you out every other day

skill issue

With the pipeline operator still not shipped, implementors concerned over allocating too many arrow functions, and iterator helpers on the prototype shipping, I kinda wish we had pushed through the bind operator instead... https://t.co/oWk59vBqPV

"I'll put USB-C on your AirTags" is sending me lmao
