<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Everyone suddenly seems to be an expert in continual learning. Dario Amodei claimed on the Dwarkesh Patel podcast that continual learning will be achieved by 2026, and Demis Hassabis has called it the most important unsolved breakthrough on the path to more general AI. Two of the most prominent people in the field, and yet I don't think there's even a consensus on what continual learning actually means.</p> <p>I see researchers and startups approaching it in fun

I am building Promptster - an AI fluency platform that helps level up engineering organizations. Engineering managers invite their teammates and Promptster analyzes the engineers work with ai coding tools (claude code, codex, cursor, copilot). The manager receives a team-aggregate dashboard where they can roll-out certain practices / skill to their whole team. Each IC receives their own dashboard where they can see their fluency statistics, skill usage, context management, and a DORA dashboard.

Cheap can be expensive

<p>A team lead announces that the team will start using AI-assisted development. Everyone nods. Nobody asks what that actually means on Monday morning.</p> <p>Some times ago I was in that position. A project I was working on needed to start using AI-assisted development, and the team was new to it. Nobody had rules written down for an agent to follow. Nobody had skills defined for it to load. There was no shared idea of how this should work inside our specific repo. Someone had to go first. That

Agent runs often fail after expensive model calls and executing tools that have real-world side effects. This problem is made even worse by how common it is to deploy agents to serverless environments. When your agent dies, it needs to be restarted, but doing so safely isn't easy and everyone building agents has to solve this same problem of durability. The stack you're running probably already has half of what you need for durable execution already though, ie, a queue or job runner that can inv

In this tutorial, we reconstruct the VideoAgent workflow as a runnable, API-key-free multi-agent pipeline. We build an intent parser, an agent library, a tool router, a graph planner, and a textual-gradient optimizer that repairs the execution graph. We wire these planning components to FFmpeg, Whisper transcription, scene detection, keyframe sampling, captioning, cross-modal indexing, and beat-synced editing. By the end, we have a system that answers questions about a video, summarizes it, and

Hi, my name is Kam, and today my cofounder Josh and I are shipping Finterm, a CLI that gives coding agents direct access to financial data: stock prices, options data, SEC filings, and Ticker Deep Research, a filtered ticker news search.
