here's how Claude Code handles different types of tokens:

Claude tokens == NLP tokens

these are the smallest units of text that LLMs use to process input/generate output (1 token = 1 word, 1 subword, or 1 letter, depending on your model)

Choosing a Container Registry in 2026: Docker Hub vs ECR vs Harbor (and others) | Shipyard Most container registries are functionally similar: they use a repository format to store, protect, scan, and deploy container images. We looked at what distinguishes some of the major offerings, and…

there isn’t exactly a wrong choice for a container registry, but how to eval which is right for you?

- use the CR bundled with your cloud/git ecosystem
- OSS vs. proprietary: both $$ in different ways
- artifact support (OCI, helm, AI model)
- vuln scanning/IAM

Empower coding agents to self-validate with ephemeral environments | Shipyard Coding agents are much more productive when they can check their work. Here's how you can get them iterating continuously on their own so they produce better, higher-quality code.

engineering teams are improving their #ClaudeCode workflows every day. but CC can test its own work autonomously

a feature might take ~10 tweaks to get right, most obvious after running simple smoke/UI tests

give agents access to real infra so that they can self-verify + iterate

β€œSoftware reliability is down across the industry; failure rate is up: and batch size is up.” @lauratacho.com + @nathenharvey.bsky.social

Basically, AI is generating larger changes (batch size) and we know from research (eg DORA) that larger batch size tends to result in exactly this!

Multi-agent orchestration for Claude Code in 2026 | Shipyard When your task complexity exceeds what Claude subagents can handle, check out these experimental agent orchestrators: Gas Town and Multiclaude.

some tasks are too complex for @claudeai subagents. that's where #multiagent orchestrators come in, allowing a lead coding agent to delegate tasks and spawn agents as needed

in this post, we take a quick look at Gas Town and Multiclaude ⬇️

Claude Cowork: Claude Code for everyone else | Shipyard Claude Code is beloved by many non-devs. Anthropic just released Claude Cowork: a UI app based on Claude Code's foundation for any tasks that might involve your local filesystem.

#claudecode has always stood out for its filesystem + ops capabilities. in fact, CC is a CLI-based agent for anything, not just coding

they built a solid UI on top of Claude Code’s foundation to make a tool for file-related work, called Claude Cowork

Yes, we need code reviews.

In addition to reviewing intent, code reviews are an opportunity to review the how and ask questions: should we bring in these 3rd party dependencies, are we duplicating existing functionality, did we check in credentials by mistake, etc.

Most of this can be automated.

Devoting December to developer enrichment | Shipyard The holiday season can be overwhelming for teams because priorities become inconsistent. Keep your team engaged by letting them take personal learning and enrichment time.

engineering teams spend so much time during the year talking about dev productivity.

dec is a difficult time to keep those metrics up anyway. why not use the holiday stretch to catch up on your skills + learn new things?

AI #agents alone are pretty capable, but #MCP servers extend what they can accomplish

as a dev, you’ll want to connect your tools to your agent via MCP to handle more types of tasks
