CUE 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.

A 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.

Claude 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-...

Introducing Claude Opus 5.5
Claude Opus 5.5 leads in agentic coding and knowledge work, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads.

BREAKING: 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.md
AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

Huge thanks to @davidbarsky.com @steveklabnik.com for helping with my talk today 🙏. The narrative flow is a LOT better now. It’s coming in a little hotter than I’d like (practicing a bit now 🤞), but I hope you all enjoy it tomorrow at JJ Con!

Lisbon is beautiful
A street with a shiny smooth gray stone sidewalk. The main road is shiny dark stones with two cable car tracks and cars on the right. 3-5 story builds down the sides of the road going down hill with a blue sky.

Feels like the Linux desktop doesn’t expand its market share without the most popular distros having an immutable base.

It’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.

I haven’t watched an iPhone event in a long time, but I’m looking forward to the ultra/fold event tomorrow. It’ll be cool seeing John Ternus up there and however they make the foldable work both software and hardware wise.

You'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-

I wish Apple Container Machine was a bit more polished. It’s pretty great as a CLI in front of a raw API but WSL2 has it beat on daily usability.

It’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. That’s been true for awhile too. Of course, I’m biased to say that, but I’d be a champion even if I didn’t work at @ersc.io.

annoyed by large build directories or cross-worktree artifact sprawl? a #jj-vcs megamerge is a great place to run your builds and tests, because because if the megamerge builds, so do all of your worktrees! plus, your build directories are O(1) with respect to worktrees, not O(worktrees)!
