Insights into AI-assisted development, technology trends and best practices.
Most of us still build our agent workflows by hand: send a prompt, copy the output, paste it into the next prompt, correct, repeat. With Dynamic Workflows, Anthropic inverts this pattern — Claude writes the orchestration itself. An assessment of what changes technically and when the effort is worthwhile.
Jarred Sumner ported the JavaScript runtime Bun from Zig to Rust. Roughly 750,000 lines of Rust, 99.8 per cent of the existing test suite passing, eleven days from the first commit to the merge. Not by hand, and not in a long pair-programming session with Claude, but using Dynamic Workflows — the orchestration feature that Anthropic released on 28 May 2026 alongside Claude Opus 4.8 as a Research Preview.

Anyone who was an engineer, scientist or pilot in the 1980s knows it: the HP-41C. Introduced by Hewlett-Packard in 1979, it was the world’s first alphanumeric, programmable calculator — expandable through modules, networkable via a special interface, and the calculating machine of choice for NASA astronauts.
Read moreEmail subscription management sounds like a solved problem. Mailchimp has been around since 2001. ConvertKit since 2013. So why yet another platform?
Because the world has changed — and the existing tools have not kept up.
When you build a SaaS app and want to integrate email preferences, you need an API. Not a “marketing suite” with 200 features, of which you use 3. You want:

.claude/ directory is not a black box – it is your control centreThere is a moment almost everyone who starts using Claude Code in earnest will recognise: at some point you notice a .claude/ directory appear in the project root. You open it briefly. You take a look inside. You close it again. And you carry on as before.
That is an expensive mistake – not in money, but in wasted control.
Read moreThe use of a classic IDE – whether VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf or JetBrains – is being fundamentally called into question by a growing number of teams. SDD/TDD frameworks such as Superpowers, BMAD or GSD are increasingly finding their way into established companies and product developments. Is the end of the IDE as we know it foreseeable? An in-depth market analysis.
Read moreVoice control has long been part of everyday life. On the smartphone, in the car, in the smart home. But in the development environment? There, most people still type every word by hand. It doesn’t have to be that way.
With Verba, there is now a VS Code extension that brings speech directly into your editor. Record, transcribe, refine, insert. All in one step, without leaving VS Code.
Read moreAs an instructor at the FFHS and other higher technical colleges, it matters to me not only to stay at the cutting edge myself, but also to pass on the best learning resources to my students. Today I would like to share a resource that I recommend to anyone who wants to engage seriously with AI-powered software development: the Anthropic Academy.
Read more“I’ve been using Claude Code for a while now, but I had no idea you could configure all of this!” – I hear this regularly from developers in my courses. Time to change that.
Claude Code is far more than an AI coding assistant. It is a highly configurable development tool with over 50 environment variables, hierarchical settings levels and granular permission controls. In this article I will show you the most important configuration options.

Read moreOn 20 February 2026, Anthropic unveiled Claude Code Security, a new feature that has thrown the cybersecurity world into turmoil. The markets reacted immediately: CrowdStrike fell by 8%, Cloudflare by 8%, Palo Alto Networks by 6%. What is behind it – and what does it mean for development teams?
Claude Code Security is a new feature in Claude Code that scans codebases for security vulnerabilities and proposes targeted patches. The decisive difference from conventional tools: it does not work rule-based.
