Last night was a somewhat typical Sunday. That’s why I’m writing about it. I want to remember this phase of our lives before it’s gone. The end is nigh. I can feel it.1 The whole family was at home. All eight of us. Rach called a moratorium on screens for the remainder of the evening, so our screenagers2 had a moment like when Chip Douglas falls on the dish at the end of Cable Guy and KG is forced to read a book for once.

Post details
Josh chats with James from e18e. This is a project that is working on improving Javascript packages by cleaning up, speeding up, and leveling up the dependencies.

James fills us in on what they're doing as well as how we can get involved. It's a truly amazing effort The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at

Liked Humanising LLM Outputs is Dumb by Kuber Mehta 
Post details
The largest tell for me to tell where culture and sentiment is shifting for AI tools is usually X, viral GitHub repositories and Hacker News. One of these tells I’ve been seeing a lot lately is skills like I have ADHD and Agents.md instructions such as giving outputs in only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.

A long time ago, I deliberately got rid of the accent I grew up with, because in the UK it made me sound dumb to people from the South. Then I worked in Colombia and simplified the way I spoke even more. 10 years after that, and the consequence is that my accent is functionally American, and I… regret it quite deeply 😢

Listened to Closed That Tab: Agentic Identity, AI Security Incidents, and Loop Engineering by Overcommitted | Software Engineering and Programming Insights
Post details
This week we're trying something new: Closed That Tab, a segment where each host shares one thing they finally read that was worth the time. Erika brings a post on agentic AI identity and delegation - covering why OAuth isn't quite enough for agents that accumulate permissions across a request lifecycle, and what transaction tokens (an IETF draft proposal) offer as a solution. Bethany covers Simon Willison's breakdown of the OpenAI security incident, where an eval harness escaped its sandbox by chaining zero-day vulnerabilities - and what responsible sandboxing and observability should have caught earlier. Brittany shares how she accidentally built a loop engineering system before knowing the term existed: a continuously running agent harness using git worktrees, sub-agents, and a memory file to close around 20 PRs a day, including self-healing flaky tests.Links:Erika’s Agentic AI Identity Read: https://khaledzaky.com/blog/delegation-is-the-real-identity-problem-in-agentic-aiBethany’s OpenAI CyberAttack Read: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/22/openai-cyberattackEmpire of AI: https://bookshop.org/p/books/empire-of-ai-dreams-and-nightmares-in-sam-altman-s-openai-karen-haoBrittany’s Loop Engineering Read: https://addyosmani.com/blog/loop-engineering/ Superpowers: https://github.com/obra/superpowers Brittany’s Loop Engineering Blog post: https://brittany-ellich.offprint.app/a/3mrjj34puva23-108-prs-in-eight-days-accidentally-discovering-loop-engineering Hosts:Overcommitted: ⁠https://overcommitted.dev⁠Bethany Janos: ⁠https://www.trustyduck.dev/⁠Brittany Ellich: ⁠https://brittanyellich.com⁠Erika Eggemeyer: ⁠https://github.com/eggyhead

Whenever a frontier lab AI CEO says that AGI will create a utopia, I play out the following thought experiment; imagine the Trump administration had a computer that could answer any question correctly. Would that world be a utopia? Is the lack of AGI what prevents our world from being a utopia?
