- Escape from agentic loop - by David Hoang
Using AI agents in human-in-the-loop mode creates a productivity addiction similar to doom scrolling, so the author shifts to human-on-the-loop for most work to reclaim deep focus time.
- The Wrapper and the Code - by Iris - Adaptive Software
Apple's enforcement of App Store rules against AI coding apps exposes a fundamental incompatibility between static review and adaptive software, requiring a new distribution paradigm.
- Inference is the New Sales & Marketing Spend
AI-native startups like Cursor and Lovable treat high inference costs as a growth investment that replaces traditional sales and marketing spend.

Software isn’t merely technical work anymore. It’s creative. Introducing Replit Agent 4. The first AI built for creative collaboration between humans and agents. Design on an infinite canvas, work with your team, run parallel agents, and ship working apps, sites, slides & more.

People keep saying AI coding agents can only build basic, cookie-cutter apps. I decided to prove them wrong. For my first major public demo, I spent some time pushing @Replit 's AI agent to its absolute limit. The result? I rebuilt macOS entirely on the web. No templates. No imported UI libraries. 100% vibecoded using natural language. As the AI Chief of Staff at Replit, I spend my days building enterprise-grade platforms for our internal teams, but I wanted to see how far a solo developer could take a passion project just by talking to an AI. What’s inside: 💻 A functional VS Code replica with an integrated terminal and multi-agent AI copilot. 🔌 Custom MCP servers hooked up to fetch, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and GitHub. 🤖 A rebuilt "Siri" that actually controls the OS -changing wallpapers and opening apps via voice or text. 🕹️ Parallels Desktop running Windows XP, Ubuntu, and games like Mario Kart. 📱 AND... I asked Agent 3 to turn it into an iOS mobile app in one shot. It actually worked. The ceiling for software creation has been completely blown open with Agent 3. And 4 those who know... greater things are coming soon :) We are way past basic web apps. What are you building? 👇
