AI coding tools are shifting to a surprising place: the terminal

techcrunch.com Russell Brandom 2025-07-25 21:30:00

For years, code-editing tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub’s Copilot have been the standard for AI-powered software development. But as agentic AI grows more powerful and vibe-coding takes off, a subtle shift has changed how AI systems are interacting with software. Instead of working on code, they’re increasingly interacting directly with the shell of whatever system they’re installed in. It’s a significant change in how AI-powered software development happens – and despite the low profile

Gemini is working to clean up how it handles Canvas previews (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google introduced Canvas in Gemini to aid with creating documents and editing code. So far, previewing code output in Gemini may involve transitioning over to a new Chrome tab. Gemini appears to be experimenting with a revised preview path that allows you to remain right in the Gemini app. Google has been making its case for Gemini going back well over a year at this point, and with all the new tools and upgrades its AI agent has received, at this po

Cidco MailStation as a Z80 Development Platform (2019)

news.ycombinator.com Joshua Stein 2025-07-27 16:11:25

The Cidco MailStation is a series of dedicated e-mail terminals sold in the 2000s as simple, standalone devices for people to use to send and receive e-mail over dialup modem. While their POP3 e-mail functionality is of little use today, the hardware is a neat Z80 development platform that integrates a 320x128 LCD, full QWERTY keyboard, and an internal modem. After purchasing one (ok, four) on eBay some months ago, I've learned enough about the platform to write my own software that allows it t

How I build software quickly

news.ycombinator.com Evan Hahn 2025-07-29 01:41:51

Software is built under time and quality constraints. We want to write good code and have it done quickly. If you go too fast, your work is buggy and hard to maintain. If you go too slowly, nothing gets shipped. I have not mastered this tension, but I’ll share a few lessons I’ve learned. This post focuses on being a developer on a small team, maintaining software over multiple years. It doesn’t focus on creating quick prototypes. And this is only based on my own experience! “How good should t

Programming Affordances That Invite Mistakes

news.ycombinator.com Noah Hall 2025-07-26 03:26:32

Many of my philosophies in work life, my volunteer life, and my personal life stem from experiences. As a developer, many of those come from being burnt by rough edges or mistakes. Just as health & safety principles come from accidents, my development practices come from bugs, errors, and mistakes.

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes.

No more slow full-file rewrites or brittle search-and-replace hacks. Why? AI spits out code that can’t reliably be inserted into existing code. Full file rewrites, brittle search-and-replace hacks are too slow, expensive, or error-prone.
