Anthropic just dropped a 31-page prompting guide.
Here's everything you actually need (in 10 rules):
1. You write "review this contract" and pray.
Fix: Name every output. "Review this contract. Flag risks per clause. Rate severity 1-5. Return as a table."
2: You say "summarize this" on a 40-page report.
Fix: 4.7 sizes the answer to the input. Cap it: "5 bullets. Each under 15 words. Start each with an action verb."
3: You write "don't use jargon. don't be salesy."
Fix: Negative instructions don't stick.
Flip them: "Write in plain English a 16-year-old could read aloud."
4: You type "can you help me with the email?"
Fix: Each verb ships something. For example: "Go to Gmail. Find [contact]. Write the send-ready reply. Under 90 words. Tone: confident, casual."
5: You wait for Claude to web search on its own.
Fix: Claude opus 4.7 calls fewer tools than 4.6.
Force it: "Use web search aggressively. Verify every claim with at least 2 sources."
6: You miss the warm tone from old Claude.
Fix: Claude opus 4.7 is direct. Almost zero emojis. Paste 2-3 sentences in the voice you want.
Tell Claude to match the rhythm.
7: You ask for "a landing page" & get bare minimum.
Fix: Drop this one line on every creative task
→ "Go beyond the basics."
It's from Anthropic's own doc.
8: You forget Claude 4.7 doesn't reason by default.
Fix: They call it "adaptive thinking."
Add this at the end: "Think before answering (maximum reasoning)." Free upgrade. Every time.
9: You rewrite the same prompt 14 times a week.
Fix: A skill is a command with instructions pre-built.
Write the same prompt twice? Make it a skill.
10: You assume Claude knows what you meant.
Fix: Old Claude 4.6 guessed.
New Claude 4.7 does exactly what you typed.
Spell it out. Output. Order. Length. Tone. Format.
If you don't say it, you don't get it.

Birgitta Böckeler adds exploration of three sensors for static code analysis, with mixed results. Computational sensors alone cannot help us much, AI is needed to add semantic interpretation, and consider trade-offs.

Bjarne Stroustrup is the creator of C++ and a former researcher at Bell Labs at its peak. I interviewed him about:
• What made Bell Labs different
• Programming language design: types, memory safety, bootstrapping
• When abstraction improves performance
• Anecdotes from building C++
• Thoughts on AI writing C++
• Mistakes he'd change while building C++

Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup:
AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate
"senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it"
The problem is that even a small prompt change can shift the entire codebase in unpredictable ways

Will there be source code in the future? To wrestle with this, we have to understand what code is. Unmesh Joshi sees code as having two distinct but intertwined purposes: instructions to a machine and a conceptual model of the problem domain.

Anthropic just leaked their 2026 agent roadmap in 22 minutes.
Claude team walked through tools, memory, observability, and the things most builders are 12 months behind.
The last 3 minutes alone are worth the watch.
Watch it, then save the setup below 👇
Stop wasting hours trying to learn AI.
I have already done it for you.
With one list. Zero confusion. And no fluff.

Andrej Karpathy at YC AI Startup School:
"build Iron Man suits, not Iron Man robots."
i've been watching builders ship and builders stall. the shippers are still coding. they wear the suit. they direct a team of agents and the keys stay in their hands.
the stalled ones became the robot. they only prompt now. the muscle that catches when the model is wrong has gone quiet.
there is no neutral way to use AI. you either get sharper or you get hollower. most are getting hollower and won't notice till the chat won't open.
how to stay in the first group, inside:
