🎥 WORTH WATCHING

"Coding Agents and Tasteful Software" by @badlogicgames Highly recommended talk on coding agents — described as "very good" by multiple devs. Covers building software with taste in the age of AI. 🔗 X: https://x.com/dexhorthy/status/2040068971102408946 ▶️ YouTube: https://youtu.be/Dli5slNaJu0?si=Dm6__OAg1dlBx_9u

💡 TECHNIQUES & IDEAS

ThePrimeagen goes full Cursor 3 After a sponsored stream on March 26th, Prime started using Cursor 3 privately — calls the UI clicking "just so OP." Notable because he's historically skeptical of AI coding tools. 🔗 X: https://x.com/ThePrimeagen/status/2040056368304984097

Run Gemma 4 as a local coding agent Stack: Claude Code (open-source harness) + DSPy-GEPA router + llama.cpp server + Gemma-4 31B as heavy lifter + Gemma-4 2B for speculative decoding. Full local agentic coding. 🔗 X: https://x.com/iotcoi/status/2039785103254053076

Claude Code Workflow: "No Code Yet" Key prompt pattern: ask Claude to explain how it'd solve X before writing any code. Forces planning mode. Every hour planning saves 3 hours refactoring. Combine with CLAUDE.md, TDD, subagents, git worktrees. 🔗 X: https://x.com/goyalshaliniuk/status/2040029044691935295

Growing a DevTool to 500K users @michlimlim shares playbook: "Try Dumb Things" — including marketing so well on GitHub that people thought GitHub launched an ad network. 🔗 X: https://x.com/michlimlim/status/2039794235147452747

🔮 EMERGING TRENDS

Anything vs. Apple: The iMessage Pivot Apple removed Anything (vibe coding app) from the App Store. Response: they moved app building into iMessage. "Good luck removing this one, Apple." The biggest story today — 14K likes, 3.2M impressions. Signals that generative interfaces can't be platform-gated. 🔗 X: https://x.com/anything/status/2039804472281477597

Open-source models eating the mid-range Gemma 4 with Apache 2.0 changes the game for local/private deployments. Multiple devs already building agentic coding stacks on it. Google pushing the "build once for Gemma, forward-compatible with Gemini Nano" message for mobile. 🔗 X: https://x.com/fchollet/status/2040114046981292042

Agent coordination > solo agents OpenAgents Workspace, Claude's multi-agent subagents, and the "system-thinking all day" workflow — the trend is shifting from single AI assistants to orchestrating multiple agents. @tolibear_: "100% of my workday consists of switching between Telegram, Slack, and Discord to coordinate with agents and humans." 🔗 X: https://x.com/tolibear_/status/2040124916670902742
