Coding agents might feel like magic, but they aren’t 🪄 That’s exactly why I’ve been eager lately to understand how they work under the hood, using the most natural approach I could think of: observability. I built fuseproxy, a @langfuse-instrumented API proxy that coding agents can call instead of talking directly to provider servers, giving me visibility into usage, costs, and everything flowing in and out of the agent. I also built instrument-claude, an observability tool that turns Claude Code's hook events into OTel-compatible traces, spans, and events, providing an overview of everything happening within a conversation turn or across an entire session. I wrote about both of these approaches to coding agent observability in my latest blog post: clelia.dev/2026-05-14-ins… Hope you enjoy the read, and I’d love to hear your thoughts👇

A project is not just code; it is a thought-space of local judgments, taboos, shortcuts, trusted commands, stale docs, acceptable tradeoffs, and recurring mistakes. Human engineers absorb that space socially. Agents enter cold.

I fully agree with my little pony resumes as a better form of communication

👀 New PoC by @p1ge0nh8er on humanitarian payments. The core question: how do you move funds without creating a beneficiary list that can later be coerced, leaked, or inherited by a hostile regime? One Ethereum-native design for operational resilience under real-world constraints. Read the write-up:

After several years of declining search traffic, Condé Nast CEO @rogerlynch has directed all the company's brands to operate as if search traffic to their properties will be zero. He says the era of turning search and social media traffic into profitable businesses is gone. And that if you run a media business that doesn't have an authoritative brand, a very strong niche, or a direct audience, you're going to be fighting hostile algo changes all the way down. He describes a recent board meeting: "We took a snapshot of search results from seven or eight years ago. And what you saw were a few sponsored links, then the ten blue links." "Do the same search today, you get an AI overview, then you get rows and rows and rows of commerce links, then you get sponsored stuff." "Each of the last three years, we would do our budgets, and we'd put forecasts in of search traffic declining. Because we'd seen the pattern of algorithm changes. And generally those algorithm changes were negative." "Every year, our search traffic was down more than we had forecast. So last year I told our teams, 'Assume there's no search.' You have to have your businesses planned as if search is zero. We don't expect it to be zero, we expect it to be a single-digit percentage of our traffic."

Only May and 130k tech jobs gone. Unreal.

Just experienced streamable 4D Gaussian Splatting content on Apple Vision Pro… and it's insane 🤯 Seeing life sized volumetric people performing right in my room is kind of mind blowing. It really feels like real humans are standing in front of you. And it streams online just like regular video. No massive downloads. No waiting. Awesome work by @gracia_vr 👏 Apple Vision Pro + Gaussian Splatting is one of the most futuristic things I’ve seen in a long time.

I believe we've found the best AI-native coding interview We call it the “Composer 1 interview” Candidates get 1 hour to build a real, medium-sized project live The only constraint: they have to use Cursor’s Composer 1 model

Faster. We've reduced finality time on Espresso mainnet from 10 seconds to 2 seconds, and achieved 500ms on devnet. @benediktbuenz, Chief Scientist at Espresso Systems, on the journey toward sub-second finality and what keeps driving the team to push it further.

Today: P50 ~0.6s, P90 ~1.2s. The variance is real, mostly from how root disks now stream out of an OCI-backed registry with on-host chunk caching. VM memory snapshot/restore is the next thing on the bench. Full writeup: depot.dev/blog/optimizin…
