The Cherny "coding is solved" cascade reached Lenny's Podcast (one of the largest product/engineering podcasts). New details: Cherny hasn't written a single line of code by hand since November. Anthropic reports 200% engineer productivity increase since adoption. Claude Code d...
Three independent sources — Simon Willison at the Pragmatic Summit, blog.tedivm.com's coding agent guide, and Anthropic's 2026 Trends Report — converged in March 2026 on the same conclusion: the highest-leverage skill in AI-assisted development is no longer prompt engineering...
swyx's synthesis of the AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 is the clearest framing I've read of where this all goes. The discipline moved from building agents to engineering the harness around them. Lilian Weng (now at Thinking Machines Lab) reframed her whole practice as "harness...
Willison's framing has settled into a real split: vibe coding (intent-first, accept-without-reading, optimized for speed with Lovable/Bolt/v0) versus agentic engineering (correctness-first, Claude Code/Aider/Cline under structured oversight). The tell is process. Spec-driven S...
Four independent sources published within 72 hours (The Register's Agile anniversary workshop, Latent Space's Anita framework, Simon Willison's Red/Green TDD guide, and builder.io's practical tutorial) all converging on the same conclusion: test-driven development dramatically...
Willison's guide is the closest thing to a consensus playbook for working with coding agents. Two chapters published: "Writing code is cheap now" (the economics shift) and "Red/green TDD" (the methodology). Combined with the Ladybird Rust port case study (25K lines of Rust in...
