Did you have a solid week? Our industry is still bonkers with companies like Block resetting after over-hiring (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq570d12y9do) and figuring out what to expect from AI.

I’m going to take time this weekend to watch my kiddo play Little League baseball and avoid dwelling on things I can’t control.

[blog] Two Beliefs About Coding Agents (https://www.dbreunig.com/2026/02/25/two-things-i-believe-about-coding-agents.html). I second these. There’s a lot of unstated smarts going into the best prompts, and many of the AI “apps” are personal projects.
