The biggest risk in software development today with AI might be asking the agent to change something that contradicts an assumption about your product that lives only in your head and some disposable agent thread

I'm letting fable run unhinged in a VM to evaluate experiments with firecracker. Last night it was working on VM networking in a rust harness that bans unsafe. It wrote C code instead, compiled it to BPF, and copied the bytes into a Rust source file. Absolutely ruthless

The first wave of Builder’s Day speakers just dropped 🌈 They’re building the tools, products, and ideas shaping how software gets made in the age of agents. Meet the lineup, with more names coming soon! builders.day/speakers

We've been building our own agents to help us operationally and they all run on open weight models, mostly GLM The newest is a code review agent that runs GLM-5.3 Flash. The Prisma team is already favoring it over the one we pay for and the core was built in a couple afternoons

You already have tools for self improving software Set up a Claude or Codex routine to pull your errors, telemetry, or product metrics and generate a report that includes prompts or creates PRs directly to fix the biggest issues. Every day your product gets better

Giving agents paths to access data over MCP or other tools is insanely cool I have Claude routines running daily to generate reports on our infra and look for opportunities for improvement. If something seems off I can ask it to dive deeper, look for historic patterns, or find correlating trends

This morning we shipped a fix to Prisma Postgres connection routing to address an increased p99 network latency that sometimes resulted in timeouts on p99.9

Tyler Benfield @rtbenfield.dev · 26/08/2026

In the last year we've gone from tab completion to watching agents take tasks, write code, and verify their work. It's hard to grasp how quickly this shift happened and obvious that it's not over yet

Apps hosted on Prisma Cloud now have automated response compression This is spec-compliant and passes through already compressed assets. You can optimize your build-time assets while letting us compress server rendered pages or opt-out with `Cache-Control: no-transform`

Since Prisma 8 has pluggable data types we can ship options with zero cost Temporal is the recommended option if you like working code. String values will be available if you're nostalgic for time zone bugs

011

Tyler Benfield @rtbenfield.dev · 10/08/2026

As models get better and we're encouraged to cut back our rules files, the most durable ones are describing intent and product direction Aligning with AI on this enables the agent to make meaningful suggestions and even push back

011

Tyler Benfield @rtbenfield.dev · 10/08/2026

How would you feel if Prisma 8 required your JS runtime to support the Temporal API or provide an implementation like temporal-polyfill?

Garden update since it's been a while. Garlic was just harvested over the weekend. Blueberries are almost ready. Tomato plants are enjoying the cooler start this summer while the peppers are a bit behind. Okra, cucumbers, and beans are coming along too.
