Claude Code's Thariq: the core skill with coding agents is being in the details, caring obsessively about the right code, architecture and UX.
@fnthawar and I talked about how the skill of coding agents is "being in the details" like running a company, you can't know everything but caring obsessively about the right details is what makes something great it could be code, architecture, design, UX- whatevers needed https://t.co/MgQvz4A3mD

Sentry's David Cramer on agent-written software: junk building on junk compounds reliability problems, so the complexity battle matters more.
I'm seeing a progression of agents writing software that I have mixed feelings about. I have been fighting the complexity battle - the sloppy code that for us is really hard to maintain. Junk building on junk, that ultimate compounds the reliability challenges you'll face in

A team moved all engineering from per-seat Claude/Codex subscriptions to the API with the same backlog. Huntley on the discount on intelligence.
the big discount on intelligence https://t.co/6bsVItUptl “We stopped the individual engineering subscriptions to Claude and Codex on the engineers’ Macs, and routed all engineering work through the API. The team and backlog didn’t change, and we didn’t ask the engineers to

Slop isn't something that happens to you. Engineers can shape the environment so agents produce good code.
something that keeps bothering me is how some people see slop as something that is happening to them, like they're some kind of helpless bystander powerless to do anything about it excuse me but you are a software engineer, you literally learned how to make sand think and make https://t.co/zrcp7PwFWl
