If agentic coding is the future, then any talented dev who is serious about investing in themselves and their craft should be looking for a place of employment that trusts them to use the best agentic coding tools to their maximum capacity.

When I first saw Tuomas Artman’s post about Fixing Bugs First at Linear, I nodded a bit, and then a lot. I'm so glad Thorsten Ball and I radically adhered to this from day 1 on Amp — Research Preview. Here's what I've learned: • Fix Bugs Now (not First): The overhead to file an issue, prioritize

Trajectory matters more than position. James Clear:

GPT-5 HUNGERS for: Clear, precise, detailed instructions. But articulating a clear, precise, detailed account of your intent is the most effortful part of cognition. 🧠 🎯 Luckily, AI will help you do that. Here's a GPT-5 'Meta Prompt' that: >> Uses the top GPT-5 prompt

you can navigate to subagent sessions now for better visibility in opencode v0.5.2

try 'Amp instructor' this is something else. 🤯 you can use it to boost your coding agent instructions it's a meta prompt for GPT-5 that takes: >> a coding task >> relevant files from Repo Prompt and generates a perfect 'first message' with instructions for Amp — Research Preview

Hard truth: It's not your manager's job to motivate you. That's your job. Their job is to remove obstacles, provide clarity, and create conditions for success. Your job is to bring the energy, drive, and commitment. Don't outsource your ambition. Great performers fuel themselves.

This is the kind of behaviour every engineer should be adopting. Using it as a buddy/colleague/team member/friend before reaching out to an actual person. This may unblock you/allow you to move forward quicker as well as reducing the context loss from interrupting someone else

Next version of Omarchy will ship with an ultra minimal starship setup that tobi lutke convinced me was better. So now there's path, git branch, last-command-failed notification, and a default .config/starship.toml for folks to easily tinker with! github.com/basecamp/omarc…

We've now generated over $136M from free, open source software with Ghost 📈 $36M in revenue from managed hosting $100M in platform revenue for indie publishers The ecosystem is growing really quickly at this point, and really excited about where things are heading next. For

New Elixir blog post! Interoperability in 2025, beyond the Erlang VM: elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/08/1… Where Wojtek Mach and I explore recent efforts for running Elixir in microcontrollers and the browser, as well as integration with C++, Python, Swift, Rust, Zig and more!

Introducing Tidewave Web for Rails and Phoenix: a coding agent that runs in the browser alongside your web application, with full page and code context. Tidewave deeply integrates with your stack, from the database to the UI, making AI development more seamless and efficient.

Get ready for Next Token! New live show every Wednesday hosted by me and Thorsten Ball. Launching Sep 3rd. Guests already confirmed: DHH Mckay Wrigley If you're an engineer using agents, you won't want to miss it. Theo - t3.gg and ThePrimeagen - want to hop on the show

Working on the Second Edition of Shape Up and we want to make sure we're addressing common open questions, snags, or things people wonder about. Got any Q's you'd really like to see answered in the updated book?

Again, I'm hear to remind you to consult the oracle today. Only 8% of users are using the most powerful subagent (read-only o3 tool call) on Amp. "use the oracle to..." and you'll love the output.

AGENTS.md is quickly becoming a popular way to share instructions with coding agents in your repo. Now supported in Cursor, Amp, Jules, Factory, RooCode, and Codex.

The AGENTS.md site is up! Thanks everyone for pointing out that the string is clickable 😅 Props to Romain Huet for making a fun showcase of folks using AGENTS.md: Amp — Research Preview, Jules, Cursor, Factory, & Roo Code

protip to public speakers you can drive the llm to transcribe your talks which then can be used to turn it into a blog post coming soon, the ultimate guide on how to build your very own code agent like @claude, Cursor, @ampcode, @gemini or Виталина Потапова

Huge!!!
