An engineer at Anthropic wrote a spec, pointed Claude at an Asana board, and went home. Claude broke the spec into tickets, spawned agents for each one, and they started building independently.
When the agent is confused it runs git-blame and messages the right engineers in Slack. By Monday the agents finished the plugin feature.
That's one example of how the best engineers are shipping software right now.
Developers will soon orchestrate 50 AI agents in parallel and the difference between a good engineer & a great one would come down to specs.
You can't write a spec that holds up at that scale without genuinely understanding what you're building at a deeper level.
The next-gen developer who understands the fundamentals, can architect well and orchestrate agent is going to be a 1000x developer!
This is genius in its simplicity.
They’re not using exotics. It’s just… best practices.
Ten years of “shard everything, adopt NoSQL, go distributed, sacrifice a goat to CAP theorem,” and here’s @OpenAI serving a billion users with “have you tried adding read replicas?”
By far the best post I’ve read about coding in 2026!
One extra thought: dictating context by voice instead of writing it makes a noticeable difference.

Roger Federer’s Commencement Address at Dartmouth yesterday might be the best speech he’s ever given.
Amazingly articulate, funny, full of wisdom. Made me laugh and tear up. I’m so very proud to have had him as my idol for the past two decades.
If you have 25 minutes to spare…
@kantinu Jo els envejo. Nosaltres en canvi ens dediquem a parlar sistemàticament d'estupideses que ens enfonsen com "Messi camina", "Laporta és un impresentable", "Pep fitxa Txigrinsky", "Xavi no té ni idea d'entrenar", "No guanyem la possessió" ...
@spenserskates What a pity. We would love to use Amplitude in our EdTech company and we got hyped by your post. But if the price for 300k MTU is that high it’s still unaffordable for a company like ours.

A powerful lesson on luck that everyone needs to hear:
In 2003, Dr. Richard Wiseman published The Luck Factor, which explored why some people consistently get lucky while others struggle with bad luck their whole lives.
He gathered participants for several simple experiments:
Dr. Wiseman took out ads requesting participants for a study on luck—specifically, the ads asked for people who considered themselves very lucky or very unlucky.
In one experiment, each participant was given a newspaper and asked to count the number of photographs inside it.
The unlucky group averaged 2 minutes to complete the exercise, while the lucky group averaged mere seconds.
What happened?
Well, on page 2 of the newspaper, there was an enormous bold font print that read, "Stop counting, there are 43 photographs in this newspaper."
At the halfway mark, there was another message that read, "Stop counting, tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250."
The self-identified lucky people had seen the writing, stopped, and responded accordingly to end the timer (or collect the money).
The self-identified unlucky people, on the other hand, had missed it (or mistrusted it) and taken far longer to count.
This finding grew into a consistent theme across the body of research:
The lucky people came across "chance" opportunities, while the unlucky people seemed to miss them. Both groups had equal access to these opportunities, but the lucky group saw what the unlucky group tended to miss.
There's a concept I often refer to as "luck surface area" in my writing.
The idea is that each of us has a surface area on which lucky events can strike.
There are a few baseline factors out of our control:
• Where you are born
• Who you are born to
• "Acts of God"
Beyond these, the size of our luck surface area is within our control.
In Dr. Wiseman's study, the lucky people seemed to understand this:
• They noted that they often took alternate routes to and from work so that they would meet new people and see new things.
• They talked about unique strategies for talking to different groups of people at parties.
• They bounced back from seemingly negative encounters and maintained a positive outlook for the future.
The luckiest people have engineered an enormous luck surface area.
Expand yours in two ways:
1. Remove Anti-Luck: Anti-luck includes all the actions, behaviors, and people that shrink your luck surface area. Pessimism and "blinders" are two common sources of anti-luck. People who tell you to be realistic are another common source.
2. Add Pro-Luck: Pro-luck includes all the actions, behaviors, and people that expand your luck surface area. Getting out and meeting new people, sharing your thoughts and ideas publicly, and sending more cold emails and DMs are all common sources of pro-luck. People who encourage you to think bigger are another common source.
