do one way doors still exist? 🤔

How We Pulled It Off In Two Weeks Instead of writing a migration proposal and spending weeks on planning, Markus built 60% of the replacement and showed it to the team. This is a key lesson in the age of coding agents: If you're trying to convince a team to do a major rewrite or feature implementation, a working demo will do more than any document. A year ago this would be terrible advice. You'd risk weeks on something that gets scrapped. But now that building a working proof of concept with agents costs less than writing the proposal, the calculus has changed.
have found this to be true. intuition tells you a migration is necessary, now forging ahead allows you to dis/prove assumptions asap

myth: LLM-assisted coding means everyone is forced to use The Popular Framework forever
reality: agents will happily migrate your entire app to The Good Framework
inertia is a powerful drug but we are entering a world without moats, plan accordingly

so cool to see an official kiro power for Lambda durable functions!
lots of key details in here for humans too

check out scour.ing - neat platform for getting a feed from the firehoses of software hype
My feed is here scour.ing/@luke
Oo hadn’t heard of scour before but tried it out and amazed I could get a pretty good feed with minimal effort. Thanks for the tip Alex!
Could be wrong but feels like this was mainly built with AI. Seeing a lot of this type of project/website spring up
Anyway, I wonder if this is a layer that more orgs will bring in-house. You don’t really more than bun serve/fetch but it does make sense to standardise middleware

I joked about the "QA engineer for my agents" thing earlier but it's honestly so peaceful to just sit and polish software with the help of agents.
You can really fight a lot of slop with intentionality and attention to detail.
An illustration of two playing cards, bearing Aljoscha and Sammy styled as face cards.

This week! Part 5 of “why is worm-blossom called that” heads to the Pacific Ocean. Sammy feels like a frog. Aljoscha is heads down (but has provided a good tune nonetheless).
use the filesystem to describe your software (screaming architecture). prefer many small, scoped files rather than sprawling ones. turns out this is good for agents too!

don’t bloat your AGENTS.md - use it as a “table of contents” for your repo to progressively disclose info and instructions
> A short AGENTS.md (roughly 100 lines) is injected into context and serves primarily as a map, with pointers to deeper sources of truth elsewhere

really like the idea of continuous agents for reviewing integrated changes, updating docs, surfacing risks
Definitely a builder at heart and feel very energised using AI. I feel like I’m actually able to spend more time (and enjoyment) on the crafting now - especially docs, tests and design. Things that used to get in the way of building
Is the penny proxy itself serverless?
Claude Code session in Ghostty terminal, showing a custom status line with model name, context % used and $ cost
got a nice little custom status line in Claude Code!
model name, context % used and $ cost
Nice! Same here! I feel like my job is exciting again
I think you’re right here Pete. Going to be interesting to see the techniques we develop for optimising context.
What measurements/signs do we have right now to tell us the agent’s performance is suffering due to bloated context?
Now on YouTube, Monday's CMU Database Seminar on Aurora DSQL. Thanks again to the awesome CMU folks (especially Andy Pavlo) for inviting me to do this talk.

Really? What’s your job?
What does it look like?
AI-generated code shifts the real burden of development onto *validation*, yes.
But humans can't validate your code by reading it any more than tests can validate it by turning green.
"Is it gonna work? Is it gonna work?? IS IT???" Bub, you don't get to know til you put it in production.
Wow! Thanks for the link. This is pretty crazy
Oh really!? In what way?
Very cool research on a CodeBuild misconfiguration which could have had significant consequences. I’m a bit disappointed that there wasn’t more done to secure the supply chain after the Q Developer incident.

There aren’t yet many things in cloud computing that have the exact shape Sprites do: Instant creation No time limits Persistent disk Auto-sleep to a cheap inactive state
One of the interesting things about sprites to me is how similar they are to Durable Objects / Virtual Actors fly.io/blog/design-...

I understand the devs who mourn the loss of their identities because agents write code pretty well now. This is your craft. You trained for this.
But no one said you have to stop writing code to use agents.
Chefs still cook. They just use microwaves and air fryers too.
