In September I wrote that our dev tools are built for humans, not for agents.
Anthropic just replaced git for exactly that reason 👀
They built Scion, their own source control, designed around agents that are always online.
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: anthropic.com/engineering/re…
A translation run in June reported success. It left an empty draft behind.
I replayed that job 5 ways:
• full-history agent: 1,159,084 input tokens
• plain script: 7,135
Same 6/6 result.
Track state, not history. My piece in @towards_AI 👇

Start of a new trend and it’s once again Shopify being the trigger
I have to say as someone who used to develop mobile apps (iOS, Android, even Windows Phone) I have always had a soft spot for native: it’s the one where you are in control of your destiny. It used to require more work - AI reduces this

Oh my god, Firebase’s SDK started to crash ALL iOS apps that were using it, for ALL sessions, just like that, no way for any of these apps to do anything…
How amateur is all of this from any SDK, but especially one from a company with as high of an engineering bar like Google…
github.com/firebase/firebase…
incase anyone has been wondering why their iOS apps are intermittently crashing since today morning 🙃
reminds me of the Facebook swizzling crash incident.
@Firebase pls help

We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay.
Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this.
Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide.
Here are the four guiding principles:
1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence
It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it.
2. Writing is thinking
Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter.
3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it
If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to.
4. Longer is not better
AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt.
You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)

OpenAI released GPT-6 Luna yesterday. This morning Pierre-Laurent @oPewmaker moved the AI Extension Builder onto it, for every app.

Shopify is moving its mobile apps back to Swift and Kotlin, and explains why.
The industry calls it a return to native.
GoodBarber apps never left: we bet on native in 2011. Why we made that bet, what it costs, and why it matters more this year. Full article in first reply.

Own your app and leave your app builder are two different sentences. Pierre-Laurent wrote the honest version of the answer on the blog: what an export actually transfers, and what it cannot. 🧵

Every amateur sports club has the same August: a spreadsheet at the office, and medical certificates arriving the night before practice resumes. We described a countdown plus a personal checklist to the AI Extension Builder.

You can hand a GoodBarber app to an AI agent and talk to it like a colleague: "publish this article, adjust that price, push at 6pm." For real, on the live app.
The interesting part: it's the first interface nobody has to learn. 🧵

The FIA have introduced a new penalty - not avoiding a collision:
“A driver in full control of their car must avoid any collision, giving full allowance to the inability of another driver.”
A retrospective Hungarian GP time penalty for Lewis Hamilton is under consideration.
