Opus 5.5 is proof that we do need smarter models

2026-10-20T22:13:42+00:00

As we see games get full blown crossovers and models get incredible at optimizing things on their own, I'm not sure we actually NEED smarter models?

Your prompts kinda suck

2026-10-18T23:57:04+00:00

Most of the features engineers are making, are just prompts, and you can make your life way easier by prompting better

Anthropic Rebuilt Git (yes really)

2026-10-16T04:38:27+00:00

In just 5 months, Anthropic went from 2,500 merges per day to over 30,000 this September and they wrote a blog explaining just how that was possible with their new system, Scion Thank you Infinite Red for sponsoring! Check them out here:…

finally a good small model

Does the $200 Codex plan suck now?

2026-10-07T20:40:02+00:00

OpenAI's $500 plan's new Ultrafast mode means your weekly limit can disappear in 2 hours, so does that just mean the $200 tier is useless now? Thank you Browserbase & General Translation for sponsoring! Browserbase:…

I love Ultrafast (it's unusable)

2026-10-06T12:40:33+00:00

I burned $600 reviewing two small pull requests with UltraFast, but building Slopalytics showed me why this speed changes how I work. Thank you to Greptile for Sponsoring: https://soydev.link/greptile Want to sponsor a video? Learn more…

If you have a Claude sub, watch this

2026-10-02T01:58:48+00:00

Your ability to work and put out even bigger things is only limited by your token usage, so lets fix that - it's time to learn how to token-max.

Sol 6.1 is OpenAI's response to Opus 5.5, and it's like Astra, but less dumb, and way way cheaper.

Anthropic surprised us with a Sonnet 5.5 drop today and...I kinda like it? The wildest part though is I don't think you should use it.

So much for "Pacing" the Frontier

2026-09-27T07:46:18+00:00

We need to have a conversation around what "Pacing" looks like as both OpenAI and Anthropic keep pushing out models after their agreement to slow down frontier development Thank you Clerk for sponsoring! Check them out at:…

Anthropic Actually Fixed Opus

2026-09-23T17:03:05+00:00

After Opus 5 wrecked my codebases, Opus 5.5 got a full day of real work done on about 20% of my weekly Claude limit, and I'm finally not scared to merge what it writes.

Elon claimed Grok 4.7 would be more token-efficient, and it's less by 30 to 80%, with very few forgiving qualities

Jev is incredible

2026-09-21T00:28:21+00:00

Jev is a brand new Typesafe model that's a fast classifier with tons of perks and safety, but it doesn't replace reasoning models like Astra/Fable.

Shopify is making the move away from React Native and it's kinda a big deal, especially since I spent so many years covering React.
