Put together some notes on Mistral Vibe, Mistral's new CLI coding agent (think Claude Code / OpenAI Codex) which is Apache 2 licensed, written in Python+Pydantic+Textual and has a neat set of system and tool definition prompts that are fun to read simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/9/m...

Here's the Apache 2.0 licensed source code for Mistral's new "Vibe" CLI coding agent, released today alongside Devstral 2. It's a neat implementation of the now standard terminal coding agent …

Decided to give Opencode a more serious try.

One nice find: if you have subscriptions to both Claude Code Pro/Max and ChatGPT Plus/Pro you use Anthropic and Codex models in Opencode benefitting from their daily and weekly limit plans.

These architects are attempting to maintain system integrity across the organisation while trying not to block the teams' development flow. The challenge lies in shifting the approach from dictating to facilitating decision-making.

I've been experimenting with AI-assisted development where most of the code is actually written. However, describing this as 'vibe coding' did not sit well with me.

CHOP, "Chat-oriented programming": LLM-assisted programming that is almost the polar opposite of "Vibe Coding".

While I was reading I kept thinking, isn’t this like Rust’s borrow checker and indeed: “Given the foundation provided by the capture checker, the Scala team is now working on using it to implement separation checking. This will allow tracking the use of mutable values and the aliasing of references”

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".

For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?

Ready to use ChatGPT Atlas? Please don't‼️

➡️ It can be hacked by reading websites

➡️ It reads everything you're logged into: your email, your CRM, your bank account

➡️ "Delete" doesn't mean deleted

➡️ "Incognito" mode isn't private

➡️ GDPR/compliance nightmare

Anthropic currently provides limited time, until Nov 18th, $250 on Pro, $1000 on Max plan on their Claude Code web at claude.ai/code or from the app.

Fun and worth to give it a try. Works well.

But it feels too easy to add new features. Found my self vibing a little too much to my own liking.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

For me, DORA’s annual research is always worth paying attention to, most importantly because of its scientific grounding and its practical insights that keep on evolving with our field.

After wrapping my head around the constant changes in LLM subscriptions and performance, here’s my new coding stack for October:

- Warp Pro: my go-to agentic CLI, supports most top end LLMs.
- Zed Pro (using $20 trial)
- OpenCode for agentic CLI dev (local + cloud models, easy swapping, no lock-in)

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Claude Code 2.0.0: `/rewind` killer feature

Anthropic's models are among the best although, as in the past weeks, wonky at times. But with their CLI they currently keep on having an edge on the competition.

(Disclaimer: I have not tried all of them but I know Codex and Gemini lag.)

When it comes to exploring different decision recording formats quick experiments are easy to do with Claude Code. For example, I've always found it difficult to write a Y-statement as a shorter alternative to the typical decision records in markdown.

Been experimenting with having Claude Code help me write decision records in ADR format after our technical discussions and use them as basis for further implementation.
