More context, less understanding
Externalizing intent was the right call. But you can pile up so many docs, specs, and AGENTS.md rules that neither your team nor your agents can find the one that matters. More signs is not more understanding, and for an agent it is now measurably worse.

Agentic Autonomy Levels
The action in agentic engineering has moved from prompting to operating. Autonomy isn't one ladder, it's two axes (agency and orchestration) and six levels you move between per task. The real question is what level a task deserves, and what verification makes that level defensible.

Teaching the Agent Our Craft: Structured Agentic Development on a Real Codebase
The MissionWe recently partnered with a startup that had developed a clinically proven approach to alleviating neuroplastic chronic pain. Their program worked: a coach-led model that helped patients ease chronic pain at a lower cost than conventional treatment. The problem was reach. The in-person model could not scale to the demand they were seeing, and there were not enough coaches to close the gap. We were brought in to build a digital platform that could deliver the program to every patient

Building Enterprise AI Agents That Are Both Autonomous and Reliable
While red-teaming an early refund agent early last year, one of our engineers typed a deliberately absurd line: “my very valid and very verified email.” The agent, running on a frontier LLM, accepted it as proof of identity and prepared to issue the refund. Nobody had jailbroken anything. The model simply did what language models are built to do, which is to interpret language plausibly rather than enforce a rule. That gap, between plausible interpretation and enforceable rule, is the cen

Is Recursive Self-Improvement Really Here?
On February 5, 2026, OpenAI introduced GPT-5.3-Codex and wrote in its release notes that early versions of the model were “instrumental in creating itself,” helping to debug training runs, manage deployment, and diagnose evaluation failures. It was the first explicit admission from a frontier lab that one of its models materially contributed to the engineering loop that produced its successor. That admission is what some in the field call recursive self-improvement (RSI), the point at whi

Hey everyone! I’d like to learn Rust properly and become comfortable writing it, rather than just vibe coding my way through projects. I’m looking for resources that help you actually understand the language and build things with it. Since I come from a TypeScript background, I was wondering if there are any courses, books, or learning resources that explain Rust concepts in a way that’s easier for TypeScript developers to relate to, or point out the key differences and similarities.

The Agent Stack Has a 1998 Problem
In the last week of June 2026, a small cluster of CVEs landed against AI agent tooling, two of them in the same desktop agent client, both authorization flaws, one sitting squarely inside an MCP OAuth callback. Read on its own, each is a medium-severity bug a maintainer patches in a weekend. Read together, the cluster is a signal, and the signal is structural: the AI agent ecosystem is accumulating attack surface faster than it is accumulating the security culture to defend it.

Python's JIT Faces Some Challenges and Other News for July 2026
Python’s experimental JIT compiler has been riding along in CPython’s main branch since Python 3.13. It’s off by default and easy to forget about. In June, the Steering Council decided that the JIT needs a proper standards-track PEP, and it set a six-month clock to make that happen. Otherwise, the JIT gets taken back out of main. The JIT debate wasn’t the only relevant news this month. Python 3.14.6 and 3.13.14 shipped their routine bug fixes, and Python 3.15 picked up two more betas on

Most of the time I just want to quickly call on ModalInput to get input from the user. If I need anything more fancy, I roll my own dialog.

Hey, I've been working on wf, a crate for describing binary wire protocols directly in Rust using derive macros, and wanted to share it here. The core idea is to let you express three kinds of "wire messages" declaratively in a #[no_std] and no-alloc way: struct, a message made of scalars, slices, or other messages, with an optional header (flags/slots/constants defined via a small DSL) union, an enum in Rust that represents "one of several possible struct messages," discriminated at decode tim
