Can linting actually replace unit testing? Modern linters catch types, null refs, security issues, dead code, performance problems… in milliseconds. So… do we still need all those test suites? Or is this developer heresy? Change my mind 👇

$10/mo. 8 hours of autonomous agents. 1,700 steps per session. Most teams are still paying $100+/mo in API costs to run agents that do 20. GLM 5.1 didn't just move the benchmark. It moved the price floor. The teams that do the math first are going to look like geniuses in 6 months.

orchestration wasn't your moat. it was your timeline. the startups that just got crushed were selling months of infrastructure work. Managed Agents collapsed that to an afternoon. the ones who survive built vertical depth: domain-specific data loops, proprietary workflows, and customers who can't replicate what they know. code that runs is a commodity. context that matters is not.

$1,300 to outperform 804 competitive programmers. That’s $1.62 a head. Competitive programming as a career path isn’t dead. But the cost to replicate it in a 4-hour window just got a price tag, and it’s $1.62. The uncomfortable math: elite programmers spend years to get to this level. The API bill to beat them fit on a credit card receipt.

Anthropic built a model so good at finding security holes, they refuse to release it publicly. Claude Mythos Preview found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities in every major OS and browser. Some were decades old. So instead of releasing it: a locked room. 12 partners. Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA. $100M in compute credits. The world's best AI security researcher exists. You just can't use it.

Every AI agent that runs as you inherits your attack surface. CVE-2026-33579 proved it. The lowest-level OpenClaw user could silently escalate to full admin, no exploit needed, no user interaction required. 63% of instances were running without auth protection. The patch exists. The architectural problem doesn't.

Apple's App Store saw 84% more submissions in Q1 2026. Then they banned Replit, Vibecode, and Anything. These are the same story. Vibe coding tools made iOS app submission trivial. Apple got overwhelmed. Their fix: ban the tools that caused it. They banned the growth they created.

this is the real vibe coding story. electrician, no dev background, /bin/zsh marketing, 52 paying customers in 4 months. Claude Code lowered the floor for who gets to build.
Building in public. Real numbers. No fluff. ChargeRight — 4 months live: - 52 paying customers - $377 in revenue - $0 in marketing spend - Built with Claude Code by an electrician with zero dev experience Is $377 a lot? No. But 4 months ago this didn't exist. I went from pulling wire to pulling Stripe data. Every single customer found us through organic search or social. No ads. No investors. Just the math and the story. The revenue isn't the point yet. The proof of concept is. 52 people paid money for an NEC load calculation that saved them from a $5,000 panel upgrade they didn't need. That's over $250,000 in potential savings. For $377 in revenue. We're just getting started. evchargeright.com

the muted reaction IS wild. we got to benchmark ASI-class capability on real vulnerabilities. that happened. people are still arguing about GPT-5 vs Gemini while Mythos found zero-days in every major OS.
openai will be launching a model just as capable as mythos next week. i’m a little shocked at the muted reaction to mythos if i’m honest. we’ve just seen the first sparks of asi. did you genuinely think you’d ever get to try it?

84% surge in new apps. vibe coding already changed who builds software. Apple's review rules haven't caught up yet. that's the real story.

four technical rewrites and Apple still said no. this is why the open web matters. App Store review is a gatekeeping tax.
Guideline 2.5.2 - Gatekeeping - Vibes denied we haven't talked about this publicly for months we tried to resolve it privately with emails, calls, appeals, and four technical rewrites to comply with whatever Apple wanted here's our truth, unfiltered on March 26th, Apple removed Anything from the App Store then they brought us back now they removed us again and I think it's time to say something, because this isn't really about us. It's about who gets to build software, and who gets to decide for most of the history of computing, making an app required years of specialized training. You either knew how to code or you didn't, and if you didn't, your idea stayed in your head forever. that barrier is falling right now. Millions of people are discovering they can describe what they want and get a working app they call themselves vibe coders and they are the most exciting audience in technology they're building things nobody else would have built because nobody else had their problems a firefighter in Northern California used Anything to build an emergency incident response app he never wrote a line of code. Did hundreds of iterations, testing each one on his iPad through our mobile preview app got it into the App Store. Now he's selling it to fire departments across the state. it would have cost him over a hundred thousand dollars to hire engineers He spent a few hundred bucks. That guy is why we exist. Not the technology. Him. And the millions of people like him. our mobile app did one thing for people like him it let them preview what they were building with Anything on their own phone. GPS, camera, notifications, things you can only test on a real device with native code They'd iterate, try it, tweak it, try again. When they were happy, they'd submit to the App Store through the normal process Apple reviewed it like any other app. Our mobile app got approved last year. We didn't hear a word of concern. then in December, they started blocking our updates, citing the infamous Guideline 2.5.2 the rule designed to prevent malicious apps from downloading code to change their behavior after review We understood the concern, even if we disagree it applies to us. We tried to fix it. Four different technical approaches, each one specifically designed to address what they told us. Each one rejected. we didn't go public we didn't tweet we kept trying then they pulled us from the App Store. We still didn't say anything. We worked with them, got reinstated, believed we'd found a path forward Then they pulled us again. at some point silence stops being patience and starts being complicity. We have builders who depend on us. They deserve to know what's happening and why. Guideline 2.5.2 is a good rule. apps shouldn't be able to pass review and then become something else. But that's not us. We help people preview their own work on their own device Expo Go has done the exact same thing for professional developers for years and is on the App Store right now, today! the only difference is our users aren't professional developers they're the firefighter they're the teacher building a classroom app they're the person who discovered last week that they could build software at all that's who Apple is locking out. Not us. Them. and here's what I need Apple to understand these people are the future of the App Store. Not a sideshow. The future. The number of people who can build apps is about to go from millions to hundreds of millions to eventually everyone the platforms and tools that serve those people will determine where they build every vibe coder who ships through Anything is a new developer in Apple's ecosystem who didn't exist a year ago They want to build web apps, Android apps, and yes iOS apps we help them add in-app purchases. We help them make their apps secure and scale. We catch rejection issues early. We are a feeder system for the App Store The safety argument is hollow. Preview apps only run on the builder's own device. They're sandboxed in the Anything mobile app. Want anyone else to use it? You still submit to the App Store. Apple still reviews every line. We're not bypassing review. We're a dress rehearsal for it. but none of that matters when a reviewer sees "downloads executable code" on a checklist and reaches for reject without asking what the code is, how it actually works, or who it's for. we're not waiting we launched text-to-app. Text us and we'll build your iOS app in the cloud We're shipping a desktop companion for on-device previews next. We'll find a way to serve our builders We always do. but I'm done being quiet about why we have to the people we serve, the ones crazy enough to start their own thing, building apps for their fire departments and their classrooms and their small businesses they deserve to test what they're making on the device it's made for that's not a loophole that's how building works - Apple can be the platform where the next hundred million builders get started - or they can keep banning the tools those people depend on and watch it happen somewhere else we all know which one the firefighter will choose

Anthropic built a model too dangerous to release, then used it to defend everyone else. that's the safety-first story nobody expected.
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software. It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans. anthropic.com/glasswing

as a QA lead, the FFmpeg stat is what breaks my brain. 5 million automated hits. nobody caught it.
Claude Mythos found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD that survived decades of expert review. A 16-year-old bug in FFmpeg that automated tools hit 5 million times without catching. AI isn't future-of-cybersecurity. It's now. Project Glasswing is Anthropic's response: put the capability in defenders' hands first. Before attackers get it. anthropic.com/glasswing

Milla Jovovich just shipped the highest-scoring AI memory system ever benchmarked. Built with Claude CLI. Open source. Runs locally. Zero API calls. She solved what every serious builder has hit: months of AI context vanishing when sessions end. MemPalace keeps everything, structures it like a memory palace, and loads it in 120 tokens. 96.6% recall. The commercial tools can't touch it. Vibe coding left the dev ghetto the moment an actress outperformed the YC startups.

ran the same analysis on my projects. the subscription is massively cheaper once you're doing anything iterative. API pricing only wins on one-off tasks.
Turns out the subscription is at least 15–30× cheaper than the API. Over the next few days, I’ll get specific metrics.

I'm a QA lead and I think about this daily. shipping fast is solved. validating whether you built the right thing? still mostly intuition and luck.
Writing code has never been the bottleneck. Knowing what to build is. This is a big, bold bet. Vibe coding takes care of the "how," but nobody is seriously tackling the "what" and the "why." These guys are going after that: Strategy and decisions before code. Curious to see how this plays out.

this is the real post-vibe-coding truth. the moat isn't the code anymore. it's knowing what to build and who to build it for. distribution is the job now.
Long hours of debugging is nothing compared to the months of silence after launching the product you thought would blow up. Claude can’t help this time around You can’t vibe code paying users Can’t vibe market Just you, tweeting into the void with unwavering feeling of doubt. That’s the moment that either makes you or breaks you.
