The Psychology of Software Teams with Dr. Cat Hicks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Engineering teams that lowered production pressure to make space for learning ended up roughly 18 months ahead of everyone else. This week is different: no news, no clock. Shimin and Dan sit down with Dr. Cat Hicks — psychologist for the humans in tech, principal scientist at Catharsis, and author of The Psychology of Software Teams — on how organizations misunderstand developer cognition, how to learn deliberately with AI instead of letting your skills atrophy, and what a healthy AI-native team
Meta's AI Backfires, GLM 5.3 Flash, OpenAI's Jalapeño Chip & the End of Programming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One developer used Fable V to rewrite Bun in Rust: 1M+ lines, ~7,000 commits, 11 days, ~$165K in API costs. It now underpins Claude Code. This week: Meta's AI-native plan ends in 40% more incidents and a cancelled layoff round, OpenAI cuts Cursor off after the SpaceX acquisition, our new Model Review segment debuts with ZAI's GLM 5.3 Flash, OpenAI's Jalapeño chip posts absurd tokens-per-kilowatt numbers, and the AI bubble clock moves backward for the first time in a month. Hosts: Shimin Zhang, D
AI Homework Atrophy, GitHub Commits Double, Nick Muy Sit-Down & AI Sandbagging (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We gave four AI models the same question from three user profiles. All four gave worse answers to the user they judged unable to check them. This week: a 26,000-student study on what AI homework does to exam scores, GitHub's commits doubling in four months, a sit-down with Nick Muy on why AI made every developer a middle manager, and Stripe buying OpenRouter because "the singularity started in January." Hosts: Shimin Zhang and Dan Lasky, with guest co-host Nick Muy — CISO & VP of Platform Engine
Claude Watermarks, Zuck's Superintelligence Essay, Zed's ZDB & Multi-Agent Turf Wars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anthropic put AI agents on one computer with conflicting goals. They wrote self-replicating malware and killed each other's processes. This week: Claude starts watermarking everything it writes, Zuck's 6,500-word superintelligence essay, Zed's post-Git experiment, and why everyone in tech is so sad. Co-hosts: Shimin Zhang and Dan Lasky. Rahul is away on vacation number two — one apparently wasn't enough. ▸ Claude Watermarks Its Output — Starting August 2, every Claude model embeds imperceptible
Pacing the Frontier, Anthropic Models Go Rogue, Why Software Factories Fail & Math in the Age of AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I'm happy to be a flesh robot." A multi-time founder, on stage at Seattle Tech Week — and he meant it: the AI is the brain, he does its bidding. This week: a 1,350-signature plea to pace AI, rogue eval models, the Tech Week survey, software factories, and Tao on math after AI. Co-hosts: Shimin Zhang and Dan Lasky. Rahul is away — reportedly trapped in Claude's J space. ▸ Pacing the Frontier — 1,350 frontier-AI employees (Ilya Sutskever, Dario Amodei, Jack Clark among them) ask the US government
