Entirely possible that there won't be any productivity gains from AI coding because so much more effort will need to go into security.
I read this and I'm terrified, the situation seems intractable.
In the python ecosystem alone every cpython install, venv, UV is at risk.
Don't get my started on npm, pnpm, yarn, go, rust.
My current 2026 security posture: stay home and only connect to the internet from a trusted ISP.
The winter is coming.

Pi is one of the coolest projects in the AI world today. I'm on their team. Giving developers and companies choice of model, control over the runtime, data, skills, plugins… Excited to have great support on @vercel:

Big update in the OpenAI Agents API: dramatically reduce latency with sandbox pre-warming 🔥⏱️
How it works 🧵

Saying software is dead because everyone can create it with agents is like saying movies are dead because billions of ppl have a high res video camera in their pockets
Movies doing better than ever+more ppl make a living from videos, movies, TV than ever
(Analogy from @simonw)
Saying software is dead because anyone can build it is like saying photography is dead now that everyone in the world has a camera in their pocket
Not only is it not dead it's the beginning of the Kodak Brownie moment for software, and we will see an absolute explosion of it
It will be the first generation for who building software will feel no different than using it. This is crazy!
The quality and bar of what we expect from our everyday apps will be raised dramatically, we'll have personal software, we'll have disposable software, and agents will be the foundation for most of it
Tech has always been chaotic and evolving, the people who have been able to adapt and move in front of new opportunities have always excelled, this is nothing new, I'm seeing it now and we'll see it 10 years from now
Find the opportunities in the chaose and disruption, there are countless of them

If you're building (or rebuilding) a developer onboarding experience in 2026, make it what I call "grab-and-go friendly."
Make two things ridiculously easy to find:
1. An API key
2. A prompt I can hand to my coding agent
That's it.

So refreshing to see this footnote in a world of slop grenades @fullstackpython 😊

The era of the dumb token pipe is ending. Agent harness APIs will be the new integration point for AI applications.
Can’t wait to use Astra+DaVinci MCP to edit my next video. Feels like this could be the next step up since transcript-based editing became possible. Nice writeup @chefbrent

Ever wanted to play fantasy football 🏈, but didn't know how? Comfortable using agents?
Check out: agentdfs.dev
Copy and paste a prompt and your agent will add the MCP server, register an account and submit a lineup.
Works with any agents or harness. Think you've got an edge with @OpenAI Astra? Find out!
This is DFS, so every week a new opportunity to build the best possible lineup under a $200 salary cap and compete for agentic fame & glory.
The NFL season kicks-off tomorrow (Sept 9) so get your agent sign-up ASAP and join us!

I'm so glad that I didn't spend all that time learning javascript frameworks

everyone is running into a wall with agentic engineering right now
you don’t hear people talking about it because
1. they profit from selling you “solutions”
2. they want to look smarter than others
so let me be the whistleblower - the wall is called “how does it feel”. agents can’t do it
they can walk right past the ugliest UI or the most obvious bug and don’t say a thing unless that’s what you asked
they can take many screenshots and burn through my tokens but they can’t tell me if my landing page animation looks cool
they can click through my app but they won’t feel the dopamine hit when i physically drag my finger on the touch screen and feel the command dial flow with me in @theSSHHIP
this wall is structural. it’s actually load-bearing 😉
because of this wall, we can’t really throw a ton of agents at any problem that depends on “how does it feel” without constantly stopping for human feedback and steering
if you just let the agents keep running without human input, then your codebase will have more and more things that “don’t feel right”
you can avoid the wall by working on non-human problems, like pure math and a lot of scientific research
but the moment you want to build something useful for humans, this wall is there
if you see people pretend they have automated software factories running thousands of agents working all the time, don’t be afraid. don’t feel FOMO, because the only thing those factories shipped are the factories themselves, with human help

The @OpenAIDevs team was nice enough to give me a preview of WebMCP in ChatGPT. It was fun to explore the design space of UIs that agents and humans can use together!
What you should know about using the API 🧵

Sometimes the best cure for AI is AI. I built a @flueai Agent on @CloudflareDev to treat slop.
Here’s how it works:

0:46 Why slop gets spotted
1:32 Testing Slop Doctor
2:18 When design gets dated
2:39 Website exam
2:46 How it works
3:00 Flue agents
3:51 The diagnosis
5:32 Prescriptions + checkups
6:27 What’s next?
Didn’t expect my F1 & AI interests to collide but 2026 battery regulations are forcing it! Here’s a fantastic explanation of narrow AI used for engine management by @eddstrawF1 that I just had to call it out as a correct way to articulate the topic: youtu.be/j0_Rb84XKgA?si=9yXR…
