[Sponsor] npx workos: An AI Agent That Writes Auth Directly Into Your Codebase

workos.com/docs/authkit/cli-installer?utm_source=tldrdev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q12026

npx workos launches an AI agent, powered by Claude, that reads your project, detects your framework, and writes a complete auth integration directly into your existing codebase. It’s not a template generator. It reads your code, understands your stack, and writes an integration that fits.

The WorkOS agent then typechecks and builds, feeding any errors back to itself to fix.

Welcome (Back) to Macintosh

take.surf/2026/03/01/welcome-back-to-macintosh

Jesper, writing at Take:

My hope is that Macintosh is not just one of these empires that was at the height of its power and then disintegrated because of warring factions, satiated and uncurious rulers, and droughts for which no one was prepared, ruining crops no one realized were essential for survival.

My hope is that there remains a primordial spark, a glimpse of genius, to rediscover, to reconnect to — to serve not annual trends or constant phonification, but the needs of the user to use the computer as a tool to get something done.
