A 16-pixel hero in your macOS menu bar. Watches LLM traffic. That's it. You remember RunCat — the kitten in your menu bar that runs faster when your CPU is busy. Almost a decade old. Adorable. Useful. Asks nothing of you. AI-native development needs the same thing for a different signal. Not CPU. Agent traffic. Is there a live LLM request flowing right now, or is everything quiet? That's why I bui
Say you built an AI agent and customers are starting to pay for it. Sooner or later you'll want to charge them by what they actually use, because some customers hammer the agent all day while others send a handful of messages a week. A single flat fee loses money on the heavy users and overcharges the light ones. The billing problem is the same whether your agent runs on your own model (self-hoste
In recent months, a peculiar behavior observed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has sparked discussions among developers: the automatic insertion of the phrase “co-authored by Copilot” in the code comments, even when GitHub Copilot is not actively used by the developer. This phenomenon raises essential questions regarding code attribution, developer productivity, and the implications of AI-assisted

There are two sections to this. In the first section, I discuss what squad is, why it might be useful to learn, and Coding is solved, apparently. If you're a software engineer and you've been using coding agents for a while, The work has certainly changed. For most code changes, it's easier just to ask an agent to do it and you might even worry you're going too slow if you don't. For a lot of us,
