useful tip for Opus 5.5:
run “/claude-api prompt-audit” in Claude Code. this checks you skills, agent.md, Claude.md, prompts and removes anti-patterns that hobble frontier models.
i updated the skill w/ the latest Opus 5.5 guidance.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Major milestone for the agentic ecosystem: Introducing A2UI! 🚀✨
Text-only chat is just the beginning. For AI agents to be truly useful, they need to "speak UI" across different platforms and trust boundaries.
A2UI is an open project for declarative, agent-driven interfaces:
‣ Native-first: Host apps render data as native components (no clunky iframes!)
‣ Security-first: No executable code—just a secure, declarative blueprint
‣ Streaming-first: Optimized for real-time, progressive rendering
‣ Multi-platform: Support for Angular, Flutter, and Lit from day zero.

My free new book "Developer Experience (DX)" is available today: https://t.co/fJPsTpMFzf
This book delves into the essence of DX - making developers' lives easier and more productive. It also goes into the important relationship between DX and good UX. It's about 100 pages long and features visuals, deep-dives, examples and data points. I pull from our experiences thinking about DX at Google for the book.
Why is DX Important?
"Developer Experience" is akin to good UX, but for developers. It's about crafting tools, APIs, and services that not only enhance productivity but also foster satisfaction and empowerment. In this book, I explore why DX is crucial for not just developer happiness but also for accelerating innovation, retaining talent, and boosting business performance. I also cover thoughts on more recent developers like AI where DX is concerned.
Key highlights of the book:
- The core principles of DX: Zero-friction, smooth onboarding, minimal complexity, excellent documentation, and robust community support.
- Measuring DX: Practical frameworks using metrics for usability, findability, and usefulness.
- Developer journey mapping: Identifying and address pain points.
- Implementing a DX mindset: Strategies for embedding DX in your organization's culture.
- Real-world case studies: Insights into how investments in DX translate to tangible business value.
What You'll Gain
The book aims to be a practical guide. Whether you're a developer, a team leader, or involved in product management, this book offers valuable lessons. It underscores the importance of a cross-functional effort in optimizing DX, spanning product development, engineering, and community engagement.

Staying adaptable, continually learning and focusing on skills that #AI cannot easily replicate (such as creativity, empathy and problem solving) can help secure the future of a software developer's career.
Funny how much hate @openid provoked after the launch of @StackOverflow by @codinghorror && @spolsky (legendary comments on this post https://t.co/1rQO1VptxN). Today, we've all gotten so used to (and enjoyed) both that they seem to have been there all along. Well done and thanks!
