Ignore Claude Opus 4.6. The real magic is Claude Code Agent Teams. Imagine setting out a clear project plan and… then watching your employees arrive. A project manager. A devil’s advocate. A UX designer. A technical architect. They all just arrive at the office, clock in, and get to work. And they talk to each…
Sometimes the secret sauce is just a collection of little things. In AI, a lot of folks understandably focus on prompts – they’re the recipes that AI uses to cook with. But anyone who’s spent more than a minute in a kitchen knows that things like ingredients, appliances, chef skills, menu, etc. all matter. When…
Stop panicking. Start thinking. Lots of folks reading the Shumer piece are either panicking the freak out or sticking their heads in the sand, parroting the age old lines of “AI can never replace [given human attribute]”.

Stop reinventing the agentic wheel. One of the cardinal principles of good development is to not reinvent the wheel -that is, to not recreate something that already exists.

You can protect your career by identifying which parts of your job machines can handle and which parts require genuine human creativity. You'll also learn these concepts: how templated tasks…
Here’s a quick refresher on agents vs. skills in AI tools like Claude, Claude Code, Google Antigravity, Qwen Code, etc. An agent is an autonomous version of the AI typically pre-prompted to do a specific kind of task: debugging, acting as the voice of the customer, being a co-CEO. If you’re familiar with GPTs from…
Is there “men’s writing?” Is there “women’s writing?” I’d like to think we could agree that such gross generalizations are pointless. (not to mention discriminatory, but that’s a topic for a different time) But there is no such thing as men’s writing. There absolutely IS a Christopher Penn writing style or a Katie Robbert writing…
