This newsletter serves the curious minds in technology, offering updates, tool reviews, and insights from a passionate founder-turned-investor and an eternal tinkerer.
Hello everyone,
I recently shared a short video walkthrough of a project I created! I tweeted a video and challenged Droid to reverse-engineer it, and it delivered! The result is a dashboard for agents managing tasks (or alternatively, you can utilize GitHub issues). This was a delightful experiment to see how easily one can reverse-engineer something from a video in just one morning. Enjoy!
Cursor allowed agents to develop a web browser from the ground up over the course of a week. They discovered that GPT-5.2 outperformed Opus 4.5 for extended, autonomous tasks, and that the intricacies of prompts were more critical than they initially thought. Furthermore, OpenAI has just released GPT-5.2-Codex in the API, making it accessible in applications like Droid, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Claude Code has been updated to efficiently search for tools from your MCP server without overwhelming the context window. Additionally, you can now add comments while accepting or rejecting permission prompts, for instance, with statements like, “yes, and {do it this way}.”
Anthropic is broadening its experimental initiatives. The Anthropic Labs team is on the lookout for innovative individuals to develop new products such as Claude Code, MCP, and Claude for Chrome under the leadership of Mike Krieger and Ben Mann.
Google is enhancing the Personal Intelligence feature, which integrates deep data from Gmail, Photos, YouTube history, and more into the Gemini app. I attempted to test it, but it’s currently only available in the US, leading me to question its performance compared to the demos.
I will be participating in Every’s Vibe Code Camp, where a group of us “vibe-coders” will be collaborating on projects, sharing our work, and exchanging valuable tips. You might recognize some familiar faces!
