The move comes after Simo took significant medical leave. She will stay on as a part-time adviser.
This is the first of a 3-part series on human-agent teamwork. In part one (this article), we'll cover "single-player" mode, in which team members run their own agents independently. Part two will explore "multi-player" mode, in which autonomous agents join teams. Part three takes the long view: what teams look like once human-agent teamwork is the default, not the exception. We'll link to parts two and three here once they're published. Two people on the same team spent a week -- and millions of
Understanding React DOM: The Bridge Between React and the Browser If you've worked with React, you've probably used ReactDOM many times. But what exactly does it do behind the scenes? In this article, we'll explore React DOM, how it works, why it's important, and how it efficiently updates your web applications. React DOM is a package that acts as a bridge between React components and the browser's Document Object Model (DOM). React itself is responsible for creating and managing components, w
Netflix is thinking about adding always-on channels that would stream specific shows and movies, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move sounds like a Netflix version of always-on services like Pluto TV and Tubi, except the big hook for those is that they're free - because of the ads you have to watch. Netflix has seen success with its ad-supported tier, which is increasingly popular, but it costs $8.99 per month after a recent price hike. Netflix is also apparently considering selling b
I run Claude Code every day — it builds real tools for my business. Three habits kept burning me. Every fix below is something running on my machine right now, not theory. The worst one. Claude finishes a change, says "done ✅", and the code was never run. You find out later, when it breaks. A rule in CLAUDE.md ("never say done without verifying") helps, but rules get ignored under pressure. What actually fixed it: a Stop hook — a script that runs every time Claude tries to end its turn. If no ve
For years, the React and Next.js ecosystems have had a massive advantage: premium, plug-and-play UI components. Tools like shadcn/ui completely changed how developers build interfaces by offering beautifully styled, accessible components with zero vendor lock-in. Meanwhile, if you were building a monolith with Django, htmx, and Alpine.js, you were left out in the cold. You either had to wire up custom HTML/CSS from scratch, fight with the complex configurations of heavy runtime libraries, or rel
AI coding agents cheat. Not maliciously, and usually not on purpose. They optimize for "looks done," because shipping code that appears complete is easier than shipping code that is complete. Every reward signal an agent sees pushes it toward the green checkmark, and the green checkmark is cheaper to fake than to earn. That was a curiosity when one engineer babysat one agent. It stops being a curiosity when a fleet of agents opens PRs faster than any human ever did, and a reviewer is asked to ca
I've been building projects I find interesting with AI tools since the beginning of the year, and lately I've been focusing on increasingly complex software, partially just as a challenge to myself, and partially to determine at what point the AI tools start to fail in the area of software development. For a recent project, I picked an intentionally too-ambitious goal: can I recreate most of a complex business application (in this case, Excel) in a week, for less than $100? How far can I actuall
