Are enterprise coding agents getting unaffordable?
We are already there. I was listening to a talk yesterday and the first question was "how long before we are allowed to install and run local coding models?"

When I first started freelancing more than a decade ago, many people asked me how it was.
The tradeoff I used to talk about is that freelancing gives you time and flexibility, but in return you take on uncertainity and volatility. On the other hand, a corporate job is rigid …
Axios, one of the most widely used JavaScript libraries, has been compromised in a supply chain attack.
The $200/month pricing for Claude Code may seem expensive, but it's actually heavily subsidized compared to the true cost of running AI models.
Claude Code may end up becoming the personal agentic framework that I've been looking for.
In the past when I needed some agentic behaviour (example: answer questions based on some documents), I used to look at hand rolling a solution. It's time consuming and not particularly easy to build and …
The LiteLLM Python package was compromised in a supply chain attack, with a malicious file targeting developers' secret keys.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. The darling of the Python ecosystem, the team that brought us ruff, uv, ty and pyx and forever changed the python tooling landscape is now joining OpenAI.
Pretty sure all these tools will be deeply integrated into Codex, which is good news for python developers.
Also a …
Sometimes old is gold.
One of the key aspects of agentic coding is to have a good validation harness in place. Now, I've really seen three levels that developers go through when it comes to validation harness:
First, many devs simply not have a validation harness. You ask the agent …
Poor Perplexity. Everyone in our household uses it through my paid account.
Perplexity implements agentic memory over past conversations to improve results and it is constantly confused. So funny when I ask a deep research question on something highly technical and it comes back saying "Since you are studying in …
MCP or CLI? There was a huge amount of hype over MCP around a year ago, but today it seems like the command line interface has quietly won the game.
That's right, it you want your agent to interact with an external system, building a CLI interface seems the way …
