Rethinking how we build for the agentic era. Stop writing agent skills like human docs—it wastes tokens and invites hallucinations.
Here's a distilled set of core best practices (<5 min read) to help us write better skills.
Give it a read: github.com/mgechev/skil...
For the record you and I are aligned. What you're describing is how I use agents day to day.
Agreed, but I think it's too optimistic to believe that this is how agents will be used. Time to market is the leading cause of tech debt. Everyone getting a speed multiplier doesn't change this dynamic, it only scales it. Business will always prioritize speed because of its perceived efficiency.
Yes and your point about a more experienced dev making something better in the same time applied before AI agents as well. I think you're making my point. With AI there is much higher risk in such a refactor because the scale of 1 week of work has been magnified by so much.
The scale of tech debt that can accumulate even in one week if you don't know what you're doing with agents is catastrophic.
IMO It's risk management more than willpower. If an entangled mess of code produces the right end behaviour, many companies are content to work within the status quo.

You can now use Google AI Studio to build, share and deploy Angular apps 🥳
Here's how to get started 🧵
Async/await for Google docs
Fair, I see it differently though. If things are bleak then any advantage someone can give themself right now is critical. Contributions to projects that are very relevant to a company that you're applying to for a job can only help you
I don't understand this thinking. If you are a beginner I would imagine any public contributions you can point to could only help you get a job. Is there a better way to demonstrate practical experience?
Like clockwork whenever a team loses late into the playoffs there's a million articles talking about "troubles within the team".
Sports media is so brutal to almost-winners
This wasn't THE ending for "Inside the NBA," but it was AN ending of an era — one that evokes fond memories for so many of today's hoops fans.
Thanks for everything, TNT. You met the moment like always, all the way to the end.

🇨🇦 Last year this post connected me to ~20 Canadian founders & software devs. I'm told those conversations were helpful; for one company, it led to raising a major funding round.
It feels important to do it again.
👋 If you're here and building software tools and/or OSS products, I'd like to help.
Here's a proposal for using resource as an async primitive in Angular.
Have a look at:
‣ Resource pattern
‣ Relationship to the suspense pattern
‣ Relationship to observables
‣ Future research

💬 The Angular team has dropped *two* new RFCs today:
`resource` as an architectural pattern:

the specifics of the `resource` API design:

Hello non-technical people. Just a heads up. Musk isn’t a programmer, a systems architect, or anyone with experience building or running large systems of any kind. However, he’s taken credit for others binding large systems which makes him think he’s That Guy. He is not.

Big news! The new trailer for the Angular documentary is here. Created by @stefankingham.bsky.social and Guillermo López, learn more about the history of Angular from the people who were there 🔥
The video will go live on February 4th. Don't miss it!

HUGE shoutout to the collaboration of Angular framework team + tooling team on the experimental HMR Templates support in Angular 19.
It works out of the box with a custom renderer implementation like Angular Three. This legit got me more excited!

Was it worth it to spend a full day on slides and drive 2 hours through rush hour to give a 40 minute talk in front of ~60 students?
Maybe! Because one of them just opened this great PR

Angular v19 has so much great stuff: important improvements and updates, essential new building block and some ground-breaking tech.
Developer event starting in... like 1 minute, will cover it all: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvkX...
I just realized that my talk with @thepunderwoman.com on #Angular #SSR is finally public. We've already made great progress on some of these pieces, but if you missed it and are interested to see where we're going, take a look!

In 10 years:
- AI might be popular in some consumer-facing products, but it'll be INSANELY common inside businesses
- You'll still probably be writing/reviewing code
- But you'll also be engineering prompts
In other words, the AI revolution will be boring.
Did Amazon remove its prime video tech blog? Trying to find an old article and I keep getting redirected to an aboutamazon site that seems non technical 😔
Angular v19 ships with the two new reactive APIs: linkedSignal and resource.
On the surface those might seem like unrelated APIs. The truth is that both come from the same line of thinking: derive state without effects.
Both linkedSignal and resource can be seen as specialized "computed".
Too real
