-
New Cinematic Short: The 60-Year Overnight Success
ChatGPT's "overnight" success had roots going back to 1958: 64 years of neural network work through two AI winters, until data, chips and new architectures caught up.
-
New Cinematic Short: Put Your Agent in a Box
Approval prompts make you the security boundary, and people get tired; a sandbox lets the operating system be the boundary, so the agent can work without asking and still can't wipe your home folder or post your keys to a stranger.
-
New Cinematic Short: The Moth in the Machine
Every new tool made code easier to write and brought a new kind of bug; what worked every time was checking, not trust.
-
New Cinematic Short: Motion Graphics, as Code
Claude made these. As code.
-
New Cinematic Short: The Last Programmers?
Six women programmed it. Nobody introduced them.
-
New Cinematic Short: Claude Ran My 3D Printer
No drawing, no slicing: Claude Code on an old laptop writes the toolpath itself as G-code, streams it down one USB cable, survives a failed first print, and prints an aquarium pebble cave overnight, with a human holding the power switch.
-
New Cinematic Short: What It Can't Discover
Claude Code reads your code well, but team rules that live only in people's heads (brand words, naming conventions) aren't in the code. Write them once in CLAUDE.md and every new session in the project follows them.
-
New Cinematic Short: Scion Replaced Git
When Claude pushed Anthropic from 2,500 to 30,000+ merges a day, the bottleneck moved into Git; Scion fixes it by dropping Git's offline, full-clone assumption: thin always-online clients, a smart server, and three cache tiers.
-
New Cinematic Short: Ask It to Show Proof
Claude Code usually runs your checks, but its final reply may only summarize them. Two lines in CLAUDE.md make it paste the real output, so you review evidence instead of a claim.
-
New Cinematic Short: Five Bots, One Computer
Grok Bot gives your account one persistent cloud computer, and every bot you create works on it at once, sharing its files, browser sessions and logins: great for teamwork, and the reason a bot that reads a hostile page can act as you.
-
New Cinematic Short: The Rule Was Only a Wish
A dot is OpenAI's always-on ChatGPT agent that works on goals, not prompts. What it may do on its own is decided by layers that are either enforced (code, app permissions) or only read (Custom Rules): code and permissions hold, rules are requests.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: A Cake Shop Built by Grok Bot
Seven GitHub issues and one Grok Bot build and ship a real, mobile-first Next.js cake shop: the Bot writes and tests the code on its own computer, makes the photos with its built-in image tool, opens a PR per step and asks before every merge; orders are managed by signed email links and paid by a PayPal invoice in US dollars.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: A Website From Your Phone
From the ChatGPT app alone you can have Codex, running on your own computer, build, illustrate and publish a website: four prompts, one approval, one live address.
-
New Cinematic Short: Your Laptop Is Your Cloud
Run `claude remote-control` on your own laptop or desktop and it acts like a private cloud dev box: your phone starts and steers sessions on it, with your files, GPU, databases and MCP servers, and the machine never opens an inbound port.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Build an App From Your Phone
You can build and ship a real Expo app from the Claude app alone: one prompt, one pull request, one merge per step.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Grok Bot: Agents on One Computer
Grok Bot gives every account one persistent cloud computer shared by all its bots, so one cloud computer is one trust zone: a bot that reads the open web can borrow any session another bot left behind, and a taught routine does real, irreversible work while nobody watches, unless you design for both.
-
New Cinematic Short: Approval Fatigue
When an AI coding agent asks permission for everything, approving becomes a reflex, and the one dangerous request gets the same tap as the forty safe ones.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Remote Control vs Cloud Agents
Every coding agent now answers two separate questions, where the agent runs (your machine or a cloud VM) and where you steer it from (terminal, browser or phone): Remote Control keeps the agent at home and hands you the remote, cloud sessions send it to a disposable VM, and both reach your machine without opening a single inbound port.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Build Web Apps From a Phone
You can build, fine-tune, test and ship a web app entirely from the Claude app on a phone, because the phone is only the remote: a Claude Code cloud session does the work in a VM, every push gets a preview link you open and test in the phone's own browser, and specific prompts (plan first, one change at a time, ask for proof, ask why before fixing) make the replies you get back easy to check on a small screen.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Inside the AI Agent Harness
The model only predicts the next tokens; the harness is everything else (the loop, tools, permissions, sandbox, context management, hooks and subagents), which is why the same model can be great in one product and useless in another.
-
Code Quest Kids opens at kids.join.dev
A sister site for coders aged 6 to 12: short colourful lessons on loops, variables, if/else and how AI learns, with Bit the robot.
-
join.dev is live: episodes, a learning path and news in one place
Every Short and deep dive from @AI.JoinDev now has a page with the full written design, and the episodes are arranged into a five-stage learning path.
-
New Cinematic Short: The Runaway Agent
An agent loop with no step cap and no budget can retry a failing tool all night, and because every call resends a growing context, the bill grows faster than the number of steps.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Building Memory for AI Agents
Useful agent memory is a small, scoped, revisable set of evidence: capture what matters, retrieve it when relevant, and retire it when the world changes.
-
New Deep dive: Autonomous Coding Agents
An autonomous coding agent is a controlled loop: it reads a bounded task, observes a real repository, makes small changes, proves them with tests, and hands a reviewable pull request back to a human.
-
New: cinematic Shorts and deep dives
Both series now have a cinematic format: the same diagrams and walkthroughs, laid over illustrated scene art with camera moves.
-
New Cinematic Short: Jev vs Laya
Jev and Laya both return typed decisions instead of text; pick Laya when labels are few, latency is tight and data must stay home, pick Jev when label sets are large and you want zero ops, and keep an LLM for open-ended work.
-
New 60-sec Short: Jev: Decisions, Not Text
When the answer set is known in advance, a decision model like Jev returns a typed, confident pick your code can branch on directly, faster and cheaper than an LLM, which leaves the LLM free for real reasoning.
-
New Cinematic deep dive: Context Engineering for AI Agents
An agent is only as smart as its context window: treat the window as a budget, and write, select, compress and isolate what goes into it at every step.
-
New Deep dive: Jev vs LLM: Decide or Generate
If you can list every valid answer in advance, make it a typed decision from a decision model, and save the LLM for work that needs open-ended reasoning or writing.
-
AI System Design Deep Dive: the long-form series starts
4 to 10 minute walkthroughs with chapters, next to the 60-second Shorts. First up: semantic caching and why CDNs make far servers fast.
-
New 60-sec Short: CDN Cache Stampede
A CDN protects your expensive origin only while the cache is warm. When a hot key expires, collapse the misses into one fetch and serve stale content while it refreshes.
-
New Deep dive: Why CDNs Make Far Servers Fast
Light can't go faster, so a CDN makes the trips across the planet shorter and fewer.
Nothing here yet.
