Does LSP actually make coding agents better?

Last week, we published a deep dive on this exact question. Then, almost on cue, @AnthropicAI announced native LSP support for Claude Code. The timing made us smile. :)

If you’re interested in the actual data, eval design, and what this taught us about where real leverage in agentic coding lives, our full write-up is here in the comments👇

AI makes it easier to prototype bad ideas, which is genuinely useful. you can test quickly.

but it also makes bad ideas harder to recognize, because now they take on the aesthetics of quality without necessarily having the substance or rigor behind them.

the danger is a bad idea with a polished presentation might deceptively look more promising than a good idea that's still messy/half-baked.

[Jacob Eiting @jeiting]

pre-ai, bad ideas were just bad ideas, now bad ideas are bad ideas with charts and tables

What if your website improved itself?

Introducing ION, an AI-native website platform where AI agents continuously:
- Propose changes
- Run experiments
- Improve performance over time.

We're already powering $1b+ companies, & seeing 200% lifts in conversion.

Solana lending today works like Aave on Ethereum: one big pool, shared risk across every asset, governance votes to add new markets.

That model doesn't scale to an ecosystem with thousands of SPL tokens, LSTs, and memecoins rotating every week.

building with Codex and @aymannadeem is the most fun i've ever had writing software

[ayman nadeem @aymannadeem]

i meant sheer volume

[ayman nadeem @aymannadeem]

editors, even ai editors, are starting to feel like an antipattern in ai coding.

the sheet volume of generated code is just too high for traditional review workflows to hold. when everything shows up as undifferentiated text in a diff, we’re forced to treat all code as equally important and that collapses signal into noise. and finding needles in a haystack doesn’t work when the entire haystack regenerates every few minutes.

the bottleneck isn’t writing code anymore; it’s knowing what actually matters.

Full announcement here: https://t.co/YUPxzjvJE5

[ayman nadeem @aymannadeem]

Today we’re open-sourcing Nuanced LSP and also releasing it as a Claude Code plugin.

Nuanced LSP exposes real language servers behind a containerized API, giving agents precise, cross-file code navigation across languages.

After evaluating its impact in production, we realized this work fits best as a building block others can build on.

The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.

As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration.

They’re openly using state violence as a bargaining chip to seize election infrastructure.
