One of the new skills required to get the most out of AI-assisted coding tools - Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc - is designing agentic loops: carefully selecting tools to run in a loop to achieve a specified goal. Do this well and you can solve many coding problems with brute force!
Designing agentic loops
Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …

Wish I had this kind of thing ten years ago. Incredible
🤩 Animations Excitement!
With `Animation.overallProgress` you can easily and consistently get an animation’s progress, regardless of what type of timeline is being used.
Here’s a demo (w. fallback) that syncs a Scroll-Driven Animation’s progress to a 3D model’s rotation: codepen.io/bramus/pen/x...

Recently plugged our EV into a charger in a public car park and in a rush, I didn't activate it.
Later on, I found the car fully charged.
Musing on whether someone paid by accident, or saw a "not charging" car in distress and gifted a contactless card tap.
Is this the new glass half full?
