One of the coolest parts of working at Stripe

[Stripe @stripe]

Over 1,300 Stripe pull requests merged each week are completely minion-produced, human-reviewed, but contain no human-written code (up from 1,000 last week).

How we built minions: https://t.co/GazfpFU6L4.

[Steve Kaliski @stevekaliski]

At Stripe we have a tool called "minions" -- it lets us kick off async agents built right in our dev environment to one-shot bugs, features, and more e2e.

I have team, project, and personal channels dedicated just to working with minions.

I like to think of it as a new type of pair programming -- "pair prompting."

Tim Cook is likely to step down as Apple’s CEO

According to Bloomberg, John Ternus, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, is expected to take over.

Bloomberg notes that Apple now likely needs an engineer rather than a sales or operations specialist. While the company expanded significantly under Cook’s leadership, it has struggled to break into new tech categories such as virtual reality, generative AI, smart home devices, and autonomous vehicles.

Ternus reportedly stands out among other potential successors. After stepping down, Cook may remain as chairman of Apple’s board — a path previously taken by leaders like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
