Software development has never been about writing code. This was obvious to many before, but now AI has made it crystal clear to everyone. Building software is 99% thinking, 1% writing code, and 1% fighting off-by-1 errors.

I recorded my 4 agents working. It's a multi-agent game with 4 different agents interacting with one another: • Tournament agent • Game agent • Player agent • Commentator agent You can see the back and forth from both players while they compete. I built this using Google

AI pilots prove intelligence, but AI in production demands reliability. The best teams separate their stack early: 🧠 Core = how AI thinks 🛡️ Reliability = how it stays safe That’s how prototypes become products. 👉 https://t.co/JtOO6rpKhV

Today, the cost of trying new things is zero (or near zero). This is one of the best outcomes of AI coding. Before, if you had three different ideas to solve a problem, you had to pick carefully. Most people usually picked the "safest" idea because the cost of trying it out and

One thing that's hard to get used to in this new AI era Spikes are free You can have an idea, get Claude Code to ping it to a GitHub issue with Claude tagged, and get a POC in minutes. All while doing other things.

You can build websites with relatively little training. It’s much harder to build machine learning models. I built my first website after two weeks of learning+coding back in 2000-ish. It wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was functional and I got paid for it. It took me several

Still, one of the most frustrating experiences with AI coding is asking for one change and getting back 10 random updates you didn't ask for. This happens to me every day, and it's frustrating beyond belief. Every model does this, but I find GPT-5 is the worst offender. The

You don't need Claude Code. You don't need Cursor. You don't need Codex. All of these tools are great, and there's a ton of overlap between them, so you need to pick one and build some mastery. People who constantly jump from one tool to another are taking advantage of only

@svpino Sir, my GitHub copilot agentwith Claude is very good at following instructions and writing a sht ton of code for quite a long time. Could you take me out of ignorance on why would I needs and agent in CLI? Appreciated it.

With the model, you can: • Combine up to 6 images • Match their style, objects, characters, and poses • Generate readable text • Update specific regions of an image • Generate 4K output results Here is the link to check out the model: https://t.co/Ti4yRJC8lv Thanks to

China is beating the US on AI. ByteDance's Seedream 4.0 is currently the #1 text-to-image generation model, surpassing Google's Nano Banana. It's really good! The model is available on ByteDance's platform, Dreamina. I recorded a quick video. See it in the next post.

Many people believe *most developers* use Claude Code or similar to write their code. This place is a bubble. Go outside and most developers have never even heard about Claude Code and are using ChatGPT to write dinner recipes.

Claude Code and Codex do not replace Copilot and Cursor. I've already heard multiple people make this argument, and I think it comes from the vibe-coding community because of the way they use these tools. First, Claude Code and Codex are agentic coding tools. They are good at

I’ve noticed this as well: Always ask for a plan before letting the agent work on your code. It’s tempting to let agents go gung ho right away because you think you’ll save some time, but results will almost always be worse. 1. Ask it to generate a plan 2. Review and correct

coding agents seem to perform much better when you first ask them to read the files you want to modify and explain what they do and how they work back to you in detail

If you buy an expensive camera, your photos will suck as much as before. If you buy an expensive golf club, you won't start swinging 300-yard bombs overnight. It's not the tools. It's the person using them. Building good software has nothing to do with whether you use Claude
