   311 - Self learning harnesses are here

   Claude Code and Codex have been the mainstay. OpenCode and Pi showed what open-source harnesses could be. But two new entries just moved the goalposts: DeepSeek's Cordis kernel treats everything — even the agent loop itself — as a hot-swappable plugin, and Prime Agent runs the whole harness inside a live REPL where sub-agents are just function calls. Self-learning harnesses are here, and they're open source.

   310 - Mitchell Hashimoto on Ghostty & His Agentic Coding Workflow

   Mitchell Hashimoto co-founded HashiCorp, built some of the most impressive DevOps tools like Vagrant and Terraform, sold the company to IBM — and then built a terminal. Ghostty is now where a huge chunk of agentic coding actually happens. Mitchell was an AI skeptic. We walk through his six-step adoption framework and the workflows he uses day to day — warm-start research, Hail Mary prompts across twenty GitHub issues, and knowing when to let the agent slam dunk it.

   309 - Background Agents

   Andrej Karpathy says the goal is to maximize how long an agent runs without your intervention. But there's a false summit most teams hit first: individual speed goes up while system speed stalls, your laptop roars under four parallel Gradle builds, and review queues back up. Kaushik and Iury trace the full arc — from local multitasking to cloud-hosted async work to fully autonomous agents that fire on repo events and put PRs in your inbox.
