Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 3hCUE is just fascinating to me. I'll bet that we'll see more of it, not less. Agents or not, you don't want everything in a general purpose programming language, especially not what CUE is good at. 000

Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 23/09/2026A goal of mine for the remainder of this year is going to be increasing quality, understanding, intention and testing for what LLMs synthesize. That sounds obvious, but it’s too easy to get addicted to speed and prototyping. 142
Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 22/09/2026Claude Opus 5.5 is out. “It's ~30% faster and ~40% cheaper than Opus 5 per task. In Claude Code: - 5-hour session limits increase 20% today - Opus 5.5 is priced lower, so it goes 25% further within limits - Pro, Max, and Team users get a reset to use anytime” www.anthropic.com/claude-opus-...anthropic.comIntroducing Claude Opus 5.5Claude Opus 5.5 leads in agentic coding and knowledge work, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads. 202

Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 18/09/2026BREAKING: starting today in version 2.1.277, Claude Code gains AGENTS.md support. From Thariq from Anthropic: if “there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md. You can toggle this behavior in /config.”agents.mdAGENTS.mdAGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents. 271

Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 12/09/2026It’s so easy to fall in the “wait I can build this” pit now that these agents are so good. Programming languages, OSes, you name it. Most of it is going to be a hidden time trap… but some of it Just Works™️ after thoughtful design and iteration. You can see why people do it. 021

Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 02/09/2026You're absolutely right to flag this — let me take a step back: the recent changes are a bit of a belt-and-suspenders approach that surgically hardens the load-bearing bits of the codebase, so rather than papering over the symptom I've addressed the root cause with a robust, defensive fallback that- 010

Nick Gerace @nickgerace.dev · 25/08/2026It’s really incredible that I get to use Things™️ everyday and I genuinely enjoy them more than any other forge or version control stack I’ve ever used.
