The State of JavaScript survey is open. Curious to see where Bun lands, especially after Anthropic acquired it.

Ran some benchmarks on @bunjavascript vs Node.js. Bun won all 6 categories. The standout: my test suite went from 1.19s → 57ms just by switching from Jest to Bun's test runner. 20x faster! Using Bun for side projects going forward.

I've been experimenting with Graphite. The concept of a platform built around AI-driven code reviews is intriguing. The stacking PRs feature has a lot of potential. I've just started scratching the surface, but I am curious to hear if anyone has been using it substantially.

I just gave Cursor a strong go for the first time in a while, and I am impressed. The fact that you can see the todos and multiple agents is quite nice. I've preferred using command-line coding agents for the most part, but this may change my mind.

One interesting thing I'm noticing is that Codex seems to check in a lot, and Claude Code likes to take the ball and run with it. Both are good for different situations.

So many Claude updates today. It feels like Christmas came a couple of months early. Well done, Anthropic!

I must say, I’m impressed by the creative ways AI agents bypass quality gates: removing code, commenting it out, adding 'ignore' comments, scripting around checks, putting 'skip' in tests, and even bypassing gates via command-line arguments.

If anything that I've learned from starting new applications with AI is that setting up engineering best practices, particularly testing and linting, from the get-go, is ideal. It's painful to go back and fix all the tech debt that occurs from rapidly trying to ship.

I'm getting the feeling that a lot of software engineering in the future will be gathering requirements, talking to stakeholders, doing high-level design, and then babysitting AI agents.

Sadly there maybe some truth to this. I play games for maybe 5-10 minutes a day max and that’s on my phone. My PS and Xbox are over in the corner collecting dust.
