With agentic slop, we are trading software reliability for shipping velocity and calling it progress. It isn't. Systems are more fragile than ever, and engineers building them no longer trust their code to hold up in real-world edge cases.
I am pro-AI, but this will backfire - big time.

Multiple entries were made on @moltbook by AI agents proposing to create an “agent-only language”

Cool fr🙌
One interesting problem I see with using AI blindly for finding out “new things” is how much it trusts mainstream opinion.
Every devtool in the market puts themselves as the BEST. For example, without targeting anyone, say there is a ORM in the market named X, and there is another query builder called Y.
Any AI trained on lots and lots of blog posts praising X will always recommend and use X directly. There would be probably two blog posts by someone really burned out by X and strongly suggesting Y, which LLMs will easily skip when making a decision.
I say this because there are SO many shiny tools advertised all the time in tech as universally good which should not be used in a lot of cases (maybe used not at all) but your LLM trained on garbage opinion will not consider that.
① Install the skill:
$ npx add-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills
② Paste this prompt:
Assess this repo against React best practices. Make a prioritized list of quick wins and top fixes.
③ Review and prompt to "make the fixes"
We're encapsulating all our knowledge of @reactjs & @nextjs frontend optimization into a set of reusable skills for agents. This is a 10+ years of experience from the likes of @shuding, distilled for the benefit of every Ralph
Woah, Vercel just released the React Best Practices skill. Looks super handy.
Love the idea of encapsulating all this knowledge in a single skill. And since it's a skill, it's lazy loaded.
To install:
npx add-skill vercel-labs/agent-skills

Chrome DevTools now supports *individual* network request throttling!
Folks have been asking for this for years! DevTools now allows developers to simulate slow network conditions for specific requests rather than the entire page.
This helps in testing how a web application performs and handles issues when specific resources (like images, scripts, or API calls) are slow to load.
AI agents will be a big part of how we shop in the not-so-distant future.
To help lay the groundwork, we partnered with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart to create the Universal Commerce Protocol, a new open standard for agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey.
And coming soon, UCP will power native checkout so you can buy directly on AI Mode and the @Geminiapp.
Why do none of the API testing clients yet have a "Ctrl + Tab" shortcut to switch tabs like browsers and vscode do?
why, guys, why?
