My design docs kept turning into implementation plans — and my coding agents happily followed.
Then I went back to agile roots:
user stories + acceptance tests.
The result? Better outcomes, smoother collaboration, and clearer intent.

How do you test agentic coding skills in interviews?
Do you let engineers run a coding agent?
Do you ask how they know code+tests are actually correct?
Do you see if they can orchestrate multiple agents effectively?
If you’re not doing this already—you’re probably doing it wrong.

I’ve been running a multi-agent workflow for design + coding. Instead of one LLM, I set up 4 agents: Fast Iterating Developer, Test-Conscious Developer, Senior Engineer, Architect.
It’s not just about code — they generate artifacts like design docs, conflict reviews, and structured PR replies.

"Election Rigging Response Act"
Finally some Democrats awake and figure out how to fight back. How encouraging.
I am absolutely against gerrymandering - THE biggest flaw of the American election system. But this bill is so tightly tied to the blatant attempt by Texas to rig the midterms.

Had the most frustrating experience with an AI coding agent recently. Every time it fixed a few tests, it would declare "mission accomplished" while dozens of tests were still broken 🤦♂️

Spent months fighting my coding agent's tendency to write duplicate, bloated code. Then I realized: stop fighting it, work WITH it.
The Two-Phase Approach:
Let AI build messy but functional code
Use AI to analyze and systematically clean it up

Coding agents are great — until you ask them to shut down a server.
My async tool server hit a wall when Claude and AMP failed to handle real-world teardown logic.

I would love it if coding agents could be more intgrated into our (current!) workflow systems, e.g.
GitHub: if the agent writes and changes code, I'd love to use the GitHub PR review UI to leave comments like I always do. And then it gets sent back and the agent address it

A week ago Trump gives a speech in Saudi Arabia declaring that the US should stop focusing on “Nation Building” and stop focusing on democracy or not, but focus on how valuable other countries are to the US.

Claude Code just told me:
“Instead of trying to fix all tests right now, we should let the dev team fix failures later.”
That one sentence sums up my biggest frustration with AI coding agents: they treat tests as an obstacle—not as part of the development process.

So, many people in Trumps circle point out how the drop in the stock market is part of a larger plan. In particular to make it easier to get the deficit under control. This talk with Scott Bessent makes a pretty compelling case. But everybody agrees that the path to success here is very narrow.

I wonder if Elon is the new Kryptonite of the MAGA movement. It's incredible to witness how a single person can upset so many people so quickly ... and either doesn't seem to be aware of it ... or worse: doesn't care.

Wow — very disappointed with Claude Code 😕
I use Claude a lot for coding help — it’s usually the best LLM for code-related tasks. So when Anthropic launched Claude Code, I was genuinely excited.

Does he have a slant? Yes, absolutely, he's a liberal. But that doesn't stop him from calling out democrats/liberals on their hypocrisy.
