AI agents 9
- Most modern AI agents support browsers, and that is fine most of the time.
- AI agents will leapfrog each other in capabilities.

What Kent C. Dodds says most about
coding agents 3
- Connecting an agent to Kody in one agent tool and then switching the main driver to another tool is likely suboptimal, though not yet backed by numbers.
- Anyone mourning the loss of writing code by hand should try falling in love with solving problems instead — that may be what they loved the whole time.
JavaScript 3
- People are overreacting to the Remix and React Router merge.
- Most people who love the Next.js app directory would also love Remix nested routing, for many of the same reasons.
LLMs 3
- Agents are good at producing output but not at judging which output is worth producing in the first place.
- Which framework or model (frontier vs. local) you pick matters less than it used to, since it is a practical trade-off rather than a matter of identity.
software quality 3
- There are multiple valid ways to build quality software.
- The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you.

- Architectural iteration is slow because a design usually has to be built before its quality can be judged.
- AI coding agents have made redesigning existing systems cheap enough that developers actually redesign instead of living with a flawed design.
