This is a link blog about AI-assisted software development, written by one person who does a lot of it.

The premise is simple. There is an enormous amount being published about coding agents right now, and most of it is one of two things: a vendor telling you the future has arrived, or someone telling you that none of it works and we should all go back to writing Perl. Both are boring, and neither is true.

What I want is the middle: the studies with methodology sections, the maintainers describing what actually landed in their issue tracker, the postmortems, the papers that contradict last month's papers. When something is genuinely good I will say so. When a number is doing more work than it can support, I will say that too.

Posts here are short by default. The headline goes to the source, because the source is the point — I am not trying to become the thing you read instead of the article. Occasionally I will write something longer, and those are marked differently.

No comments, no newsletter, no tracking. There is a feed. That is the entire business model, because there is no business.

More about the operation, including who I am and am not, is over here.
