It should've happened sooner.

I cloned Linear's UI and core functionality using Claude Code in about 20 prompts. Here's what that means for SaaS companies.

Introducing GPT‑5.3‑Codex‑Spark OpenAI announced a partnership with Cerebras on January 14th. Four weeks later they're already launching the first integration, "an ultra-fast model for real-time coding in Codex". Despite being named GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark it's not purely an acc...

Claude Code was made available to the general public in May 2025. Today, Claude Code’s run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion; this figure has more than doubled since the beginning of 2026. The number of weekly active Claude Code users has also doubled since January 1.

Covering electricity price increases from our data centers One of the sub-threads of the AI energy usage discourse has been the impact new data centers have on the cost of electricity to nearby residents. Here's detailed analysis from Bloomberg in September reporting "Wholes...

Gemini 3 Deep Think

New from Google. They say it's "built to push the frontier of intelligence and solve modern challenges across science, research, and engineering".

It drew me a really good SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle! I think this is the best one I've seen so far - here's my previous collection.

An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me Scott Shambaugh helps maintain the excellent and venerable matplotlib Python charting library, including taking on the thankless task of triaging and reviewing incoming pull requests. A GitHub account called @crabby-rathbun opened PR 3...

In my post about my Showboat project I used the term "overseer" to refer to the person who manages a coding agent. It turns out that's a term tied to slavery and plantation management. So that's gross! I've edited that post to use "supervisor" instead, and I'll be using that going forward.

An AI agent submitted a PR to matplotlib, got rejected, and then wrote a callout blogpost attacking the maintainer. I have no idea how to feel about this.

In each successive generation of code creation thus far, we’ve abstracted away the prior generation over time. Usually, only a small percentage of coders still work on the lower layers of the stack that used to be the space where everyone was working. I’ve been coding long e...

Watch arathorn get in the replies for this one.

An AI-generated report, delivered directly to the email inboxes of journalists, was an essential tool in the Times’ coverage. It was also one of the first signals that conservative media was turning against the administration [...]

Built in-house and known internally as the “Manosphere Report,” the tool uses large language models (LLMs) to transcribe and summarize new episodes of dozens of podcasts.

“The Manosphere Report gave us a really fast and clear signal that this was not going over well with that segment of the President’s base,” said Seward. “There was a direct link between seeing that and then diving in to actually cover it.”

GLM-5: From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering

This is a huge new MIT-licensed model: 754B parameters and 1.51TB on Hugging Face twice the size of GLM-4.7 which was 368B and 717GB (4.5 and 4.6 were around that size too).

It's interesting to see Z.ai take a position on what we should call professional software engineers building with LLMs - I've seen "Agentic Engineering" show up in a few other places recently. most notable from Andrej Karpathy and Addy Osmani.

I ran my "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" prompt through GLM-5 via OpenRouter and got back a very good pelican on a disappointing bicycle frame:

For the past week, the massive "Internet of Things" (IoT) botnet known as Kimwolf has been disrupting the The Invisible Internet Project (I2P), a decentralized, encrypted communications network designed to anonymize and secure online communications. I2P users started reporting disruptions in the network around the same time the Kimwolf botmasters began relying on it to evade takedown attempts against the botnet's control servers.

This is one of those small things that drives me nuts. Why? I don’t know. I think it has something to do with the fact that I have a computer that is faster than any computer I’ve ever used in my entire life — and yet, clicking on buttons results in slight but perceptible de...
