AGENTIC CODING

Cursor's $50B valuation puts a developer tool above roughly 400 Fortune 500 companies. Here's a clear-eyed look at whether that valuation reflects reality - and which AI IDE actually fits your workflow in 2026.

OpenAI's harness engineering post and new token-use research point to the same lesson: agentic coding teams need token budgets, receipts, and eval loops, not vibes.

Anthropic's Claude containment writeup points to the next security layer for coding agents: deterministic capability ledgers, not another approval prompt.

GitHub Trending is full of agent memory and context tools. The useful version is not magic recall. It is a context ledger: source-linked, scoped, expiring memory that agents can inspect and users can audit.

A huge Hacker News thread says domain expertise is the real moat in agentic coding. The sharper version: tacit judgment only compounds when you turn it into examples, tests, DSLs, and review gates.

Notes from a single session running 200+ Claude Code subagents in parallel across 35 repos. What worked, what broke, and the patterns I codified into a skill so the recipe replays.

I told an agent to improve the site every 10 minutes and went to sleep. Here is what 12 new repos, 60 PRs, and three goofs taught me about overnight orchestration.
