Okay, I need to talk about what just happened with the [Ladybird browser](https://ladybird.org) project, because this might be the most impressive real-world demonstration of AI-assisted coding I’ve seen so far. Andreas Kling and the Ladybird team just [announced](https://ladybird.org/posts/adopting-rust/) they’re adopting Rust as their successor language to C++. That alone would be news. But here’s the… Continue reading

There’s a massive shortage of accountants right now. Baby boomers are retiring, fewer people are sitting for the CPA exam, and firms everywhere are scrambling to keep up. So when I first heard about [Basis](https://www.basis.so), an AI startup going after accounting workflows, my initial reaction was: finally, someone is tackling a real problem instead of… Continue reading

I’ve tried a lot of productivity trackers over the years. Most of them follow the same formula — install, configure a bunch of categories, remember to hit “start” every time you sit down, forget about it after three days, uninstall. So when [Shepherd](https://shepherdtime.com/) showed up on [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/shepherd-7) this week and racked up 358 upvotes… Continue reading

I’ve been watching the no-code automation space for a while now, and most tools still feel like they’re built for people who secretly enjoy programming. Then [Tidy](https://withtidy.com) showed up on [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/tidy-3) last week and genuinely surprised me. Here’s the pitch: you show Tidy how to do something on a website, and it learns the… Continue reading

So here’s something I didn’t expect to say in 2026: maybe we’ve been doing RAG wrong this whole time. [PageIndex](https://github.com/VectifyAI/PageIndex) popped up on GitHub Trending today with over 16,000 stars, and after spending some time with it, I get why people are excited. Built by [VectifyAI](https://github.com/vectifyai), it takes a completely different approach to retrieval-augmented generation… Continue reading

So, if you were anywhere near financial Twitter or Hacker News this weekend, you already know: Anthropic dropped a bomb on Monday. They published the [Code Modernization Playbook](https://resources.anthropic.com/code-modernization-playbook) alongside a [detailed blog post](https://claude.com/blog/how-ai-helps-break-cost-barrier-cobol-modernization) showing off Claude Code’s new COBOL modernization capabilities, and the market absolutely lost it. IBM shares cratered 13.2% in a single session… Continue reading

I’ve been waiting for someone to do this, and honestly, I’m not surprised it was Mozilla. [Firefox 148 just dropped today](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-controls/), and the headline feature isn’t some shiny new AI trick — it’s the opposite. Mozilla added a centralized AI Controls section to the browser settings with a single toggle called “Block AI Enhancements.” Flip… Continue reading

So here’s something I didn’t expect to get excited about on a Sunday morning: an 8-billion-parameter model that actually tells you *where* its answers come from. [Guide Labs just dropped Steerling-8B](https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/23/guide-labs-debuts-a-new-kind-of-interpretable-llm/), and honestly, it might be the most interesting open-source release I’ve seen in a while. The pitch is straightforward. Every single token Steerling-8B generates… Continue reading

So Google and Microsoft just rolled out [WebMCP](https://webmcp.link/) — a W3C standard that lets websites expose structured tools directly to AI agents through the browser. It shipped in Chrome 146 Canary a couple weeks ago, and it’s already changing how people think about web traffic. The big question everyone’s asking now: if AI agents are… Continue reading

So here’s something wild that just dropped today. [Ant Group](https://www.antgroup.com/) announced that both Alipay AI Pay and their standalone health app AQ have each crossed the 100 million user mark. Both milestones landed during Chinese New Year, which honestly makes sense — that holiday period is basically the Super Bowl of mobile payments in China,… Continue reading
