@claudeai Full transparency: It didn't reach as many devs as I would have liked (~200 respondents), but it still was a fun project and I intend to do another version of the survey soon.

Is there anything you'd like to learn from such a survey that I should include next time? 👀

[Nikolas Burk @nikolasburk]

📊 In January, I started the "State of Agentic Coders" survey.

The results are live now, some interesting bits:

‣ 44% of see AI as opportunity, 20% as threat
‣ @claudeai Code wins most popular tool
‣ 45% feel adoption pressure from social media

Good tip for avoiding cognitive debt in codebases where AI has run wild:

Design the interface, delegate the implementation

@mfts0 @PawelHuryn FYI the timing for the double-usage window in Europe should be 7pm to 1pm (since we have a 5-hour offset from ET right now).

@NurulSundarani I use @aquavoice and couldn't be happier with it. Almost entirely switching to voice-to-text for prompting has given me a major productivity boost 👌

I built the chess learning app I always wanted��launching it in beta today 🎉 Try it at https://t.co/zerILdTGWM.

I've played chess for years, but my ELO stalled, and nothing out there actually helped me improve. LearnChess is built in a local-first way using @livestoredev, @Tan_Stack / @expo and running entirely on @Cloudflare!

It provides a wide range of features with a lean UI:

📚 Guided lessons to study openings and endgame theory
🧩 Rated puzzles (you can also submit your own)
♟️ Game import for analysis from Lichess & https://t.co/Gs1ZXiGWW4
📖 Opening explorer: See which openings you've played most
🎏 Dedicated server for Stockfish analysis on Hetzner
🤖 AI integration that'll actually help you improve
📱 Web and mobile apps so that you can play anywhere
💬 Social features and messaging with other users
🥇 Leaderboards for different categories
⚡️ Coordinate training to sharpen board vision
💾 Board state state persistence across sessions
🌐 Multi-lingual; supports English & German today
😵‍💫 Blunder puzzles to learn from your mistakes
🛜 Works offline (mostly)
🐣 A dedicated beginner track to learn the rules

I have a lot more ideas for improving it, but definitely want to hear from other users as well—so please try and out and let me know your feedback 😄 Also, there will be bugs, please report them!

Today, we’re sharing our vision for a new foundation for Prisma ORM.

It keeps the experience you love and sets the direction for a more composable, extensible, agent-ready future!

We'll let the code speak for itself ✨

@appfactory Feeling 100% the same. Staying away from X and focusing on building is the protip for staying sane in this day and age 💯

[Nikolas Burk @nikolasburk]

@MatijaSosic I'd go all-in on agents, so for me it's 2️⃣

Could even be: "Wasp - The full-stack framework for agents".

[Nikolas Burk @nikolasburk]

@sorenbs @prisma Excited to see what it's going to look like!

[Nikolas Burk @nikolasburk]

@schickling For me it's @schickling 😅 whenever I talk to him I feel like I get a glimpse into the future!

As a former iOS developer, the accidental complexity that accumulated in the JS ecosystem over the past 15 years has always been a struggle for me.

Thanks to coding agents, I don't care for it any more!

Are you ok, @claudeai?

[Nikolas Burk @nikolasburk]

My "State of Agentic Coder" survey is still running for ~2 more weeks!

If you haven't yet, please take and share it with your colleagues (especially those who are not on Twitter 😇).

[Nikolas Burk @nikolasburk]

🤔 Social media makes it seem like everyone is running multi-agent workflows, Ralphing, creating harnesses & feedback loops.

But what does AI adoption actually look like for most developers?

👉 I made a 3min survey to find out, please take & share it: https://t.co/bj3381j1jV

Claude Code made this marketing video—thanks @claudeai 😍

I just wrote a narration script, told CC to create scenes with @playwrightweb and render with @Remotion. Then 5% of post-editing with @screenstudio and laying over audio.
