this is also very good davekiss.com/blog/agentic...
Screenshot of text from an article by Dave Kiss that says: Watch how experienced engineers actually work with these tools. They rarely type a prompt and accept whatever comes back; they plan first. They tell the LLM to ask clarifying questions before writing any code. They request architectural diagrams, implementation plans, a clear breakdown of the approach. They use something like beads to track the work in epics and tasks, blocking things based on what needs to happen sequentially. They define the shape of the solution before the agent writes a single line. This is the opposite of vibes. This is structure, intention, a very clear definition of the approach the LLM should take, the constraints it should work within, the patterns it should follow. The planning itself is the work now, and the execution is what the agent handles.

I think this is a solid take by @brittanyellich.com (from @github.com): brittanyellich.com/ai-has-an-im...
Screenshot of text that reads: "Here’s the thing though: the more I actually use AI tools, the less I believe the sensational narratives. Both the utopian ones AND the dystopian ones. Remember when computers were going to take all the jobs? When ATMs would eliminate bank tellers? It turns out inventing new tools doesn’t typically result in mass unemployment - it just changes what work looks like. And if my year on a team heavily using AI has taught me anything, it’s that there will always be more work to do. There is no “end of the backlog.” Doing work begets more work." Screenshot of text that reads: "I also think we will finally accept that the fundamentals still matter. You can’t have effective AI users without effective developers first. It’s sort of like a calculator. You can’t give a 5-year-old a calculator and expect them to be able to do all math. I think that the same principle applies here, you have to do the work first without AI to understand how to build software before you use AI tools to make it go faster."

this UX is very silly
Screenshot of iPhone Clock app Alarms tab, showing a list of eight alarms mostly set for 7:00 AM with variations at 7:20 AM and 7:30 AM. Only the first alarm is enabled (toggle on); all others are disabled. The screen has a black background with white text, and the bottom navigation shows World Clock, Alarms (selected), Stopwatch, and Timers tabs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Screenshot of an article excerpt about Threads' growth strategy, showing text with yellow highlighting on a quote from Hayes (the head of Threads) explaining the goal is to "get people off of being dependent on those promotions and wake up in the morning and just want to open the app." The surrounding text describes Meta's playbook of surfacing personalized Threads content in Instagram and Facebook feeds to drive downloads, then weaning users off those nudges.

If you need to crank through some work, this is quite a good soundtrack of propulsive, percussion-led jazz
Screenshot of Apple Music now playing screen, showing the track “Temple of Cinema” by Antonio Sánchez from “The Studio” Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack. The album artwork features a retro-style illustration of a man in a tan suit with multiple arms juggling film industry items including a film reel, phone, script pages, and coffee mug. The track is at 0:30 of 1:24 with Lossless audio quality, and playback controls are visible at the bottom.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
