They share hands-on experiences with various AI coding tools and models, discuss best practices (like providing clear project context vs. “vibe coding”), and outline a mental model to categorize these tools. Below are key highlights with timestamps, followed by a comprehensive list of resources mentioned.Episode Highlights00:05 – Introduction: Tim expresses feeling overwhelmed by the proliferation of AI coding tools. As a tech lead and coder, he's been trying to keep up with the hype versus reality. The discussion is set to compare notes on different tools they've each tried and to map out the current AI coding assistant landscape.01:50 – Tools Tried and Initial Impressions: David shares his journey starting with Microsoft-centric tools. His go-to has been GitHub Copilot (integrated in VS Code/Visual Studio), which now leverages various models (including OpenAI and Anthropic). He has also experimented with several alternatives: Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI agentic coder), OpenAI's Codex CLI (an official terminal-based coding agent by OpenAI), Google's Gemini CLI (an open-source command-line AI agent giving access to Google's Gemini model), and Manus (a recently introduced autonomous AI coding agent). These tools all aim to boost developer productivity, but results have been mixed – for example, Tim tried the Windsurf editor (an AI-powered IDE) using an Anthropic Claude model (“Claude 3.5 Sonnet”) and found it useful but “nowhere near 10×” productivity improvement as some LinkedIn influencers claimed. The community's take on these tools is highly polarized, with skeptics calling it hype and enthusiasts claiming dramatic gains.04:39 – Importance of Context (Prompt Engineering vs “Vibe Coding”): A major theme is providing clear requirements and context to the AI. David found that all these coding platforms (whether GUI IDE like Windsurf or Cursor, or CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex) allow you to supply custom instructions and project docs (often via Markdown) – essentially like giving the AI a spec. When he attempted building new apps, he had much more success by writing a detailed PRD (Product Requirements Document) and feeding it to the AI assistant. For instance, he gave the same spec (tech stack, features, and constraints) to Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI, and each generated a reasonable project scaffold in minutes. All stuck to the specified frameworks and even obeyed instructions like “don't add extra packages unless approved.” This underscores that if you prompt these tools with structured context (analogous to good old-fashioned requirements documents), they perform markedly better. David mentions that Amazon's new AI IDE, Kiro (introduced recently as a spec-driven development tool) embraces this “context-first” approach – aiming to eliminate one-shot “vibe coding” chaos by having the AI plan from a spec before writing code. He notes that using top-tier models (Anthropic's Claude “Opus 4” was referenced as an example, available only in an expensive plan) can further improve adherence to instructions, but even smaller models do decently if guided well.07:03 – Community Reactions: The conversation touches on the culture around these tools. There's acknowledgment of toxicity in some online discussions – e.g. seasoned engineers scoffing at newcomers using AI (“non-engineers” doing vibe coding). Tim and David distance themselves from gatekeeping attitudes; their stance is that anyone interested in the tech should be encouraged, while just being mindful of pitfalls (like code quality, security, or privacy issues when using AI). They see value in exploring all levels of AI assistance, provided one remains pragmatic about what works and stays cautious about sensitive data.29:57 – Models + 4 Levels of AI Coding Tool: Tim introduces a mental model to frame the AI coding assistant ecosystem (around 29:57). The idea is to separate the foundational models from the tools built on top, and to classify those tools into four levels of increasing capability:Underlying Models: First, there are the core large language models themselves – e.g. OpenAI's GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude (various versions like Claude 1.* and 2, including fast “Sonnet” models and the heavier “Opus” models), Google's Gemini model, as well as open-source local models. These are the engines that power everything else, but interacting with raw models isn't the whole story.Level 1 – Basic Chat Interface: Tools where you interact via a simple chat UI (text in/out) with no direct integration into your coding environment. ChatGPT in the browser, or voice assistants that can produce code snippets on request, fall here. They can write code based on prompts, but you have to copy-paste results – the AI isn't tied into your files or IDE.Level 2 – Agentic IDE/CLI Assistants: Tools that deeply integrate with your development environment, able to edit files and execute commands. This includes AI-augmented IDEs and editors like Windsurf Editor (a standalone AI-native IDE) and Cursor (AI-assisted code editor), as well as command-line agents that can manipulate your project (like the CLI versions of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini CLI). At this level, the AI can read your project files, make changes, create new files, run build/test commands, etc., acting almost like a pair programmer who can use the keyboard and terminal. (For example, Windsurf's “Cascade” agent mode and Cursor's agent mode allow multi-file edits and running shell commands automatically.)Level 3 – Enhanced Context and Memory: Tools or techniques focused on feeding the model more project knowledge and context (sometimes dubbed “context en...

GitHub is advocating for a European Union Sovereign Tech Fund to help pay the open source software developers building and maintaining software relied upon by economies and societies just like any other necessary infrastructure like roads and bridges.Apple gets called out by the Open Web Advocacy group saying its technical rules and restrictions are blocking other browser vendors from successfully offering their own search engines to iOS users in the EU.Last episode we talked about Amazon's new AI coding editor Kiro, and this week, we learned about a feature called Agent Hooks which let users write automation tools that agents can use within the IDE to do predefined actions like maintaining code quality, checking for security vulnerabilities, standardizing and enforcing team processes, and more. Think of it like pre-commit hooks but with AI behind them!Timestamps:0:51 - GitHub is advocating for an EU tech fund9:21 - An update on non-WebKit browsers on iOS15:30 - Kiro's agent hooks26:28 - Kilo Code28:35 - eslint-config-prettier got hacked33:15 - @media(hover: hover)36:05 - What's making us happyLinks:Paige - GitHub is advocating for an EU Sovereign Tech FundJack - Kiro's Agent HooksTJ - An update on non-WebKit browsers on iOSKilo Code - open source AI agent VS Code extension (not to be confused with the Kiro fork)Popular npm package eslint-config-prettier got hacked@media(hover:hover)Paige - Relax Meditation appJack - Physical books like the Annihilation seriesTJ - Apple Watch series 10Thanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

There are so many headlines about AI IDE Windsurf as of late, but we'll try to catch you up. First, OpenAI wanted to buy Windsurf for $3B, but the deal fell through due to Microsoft. Next, Google hired Windsurf's top execs and researchers to work on its AI products, but didn't buy the Windsurf IDE, for $2.4B. Then, Cognition bought the remainder of Windsurf's IP (and its staff) to integrate into its own products like Devin. And did we mention this all happened in the span of 72 hours?Amazon released its own AI-powered IDE called Kiro, and it claims it will bring structure to vibe-coding with "specs" to appeal to the enterprise companies. Kiro transforms prompts into structured specifications, technical designs, and implementation plans complete with testing.Next.js 15.4 debuted with a few notable highlights like 100% integration test compatibility for its new Turbopack bundler, and an experimental feature flag called `browserDebugInfoInTerminal` that will forward browser console output to the local terminal so CLI coding agents and AI IDEs like Cursor can see (and fix) client side errors. That sounds super useful.Timestamps:1:07 - Windsurf drama explained11:28 - Amazon's new Kiro editor26:29 - Next 15.433:33 - Figma's new glass effect39:19 - Lee Robinson leaves Vercel41:09 - What's making us happyLinks:Paige - Next.js 15.4, including `browserDebugInfoInTerminal` flag for AI agentsJack - Kiro AI IDE for spec-driven developmentTJ - OpenAI's Windsurf deal falls through - and Windsurf's CEO is going to GoogleLee Robinson leaves Vercel after 5 yearsFigma has Glass EffectPaige - The Will of the Many novelJack - Ninja Single Serve coffee maker and SF Bay Coffee compostable K-cupsTJ - Tabletop shuffleboardThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

Kevin Turner hosts the latest episode of the Autosport Podcast as he sits down with Stefan Mackley and broadcaster Karun Chandhok to preview the 11th season of Formula E, which kicks off in Sao Paolo this weekend. After Pascal Wehrlein won the Championship in a heated decider in London in the summer, he's back to try to retain the title, and if pre-season testing was anything to go by, Porsche looks like entering Season 11 as favourites. They've also expanded to six cars on their powertrains as the rebranded Kiro will also be running previous-spec powertrains. Their main opposition will likely be Jaguar, who still carry arguably the strongest driver line-up in the series with Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. But can the pair of New Zealanders co-exist? There's also a discussion about Lola returning to Motorsport in collaboration with Yamaha and F2 race winner Zane Maloney making his series debut, why it could finally be Dan Ticktum's year, and how the new "Pit Boost" feature will affect the series famous "Peloton" racing style.
