Spending Time After Hours Talking About AI and Development
A Postman desktop update reportedly added plugins to users’ Claude Code and Codex setups, along with instructions for the AI. Nobody has shown data leaving the machine, but it’s a good reason to spend two minutes checking what your agent is running.
We pointed six AI security reviewers at the same deliberately broken app. All six caught every dangerous bug, and then they disagreed about almost everything else. What that means for checking your own projects.
Yesterday your AI could read your Google Drive. Today it says “needs authentication”. Here’s where the reconnect button hides in Claude Code and Codex, in the terminal and in the desktop apps, and what to do when there isn’t one.
Why I made this Before I got into coding, I cooked for 12 years. In a kitchen you’ve always got a bunch of tickets going at once, and every dish gets its own spot on the line so nothing gets…
Your AI coding assistant forgets everything between sessions unless you give it a memory. We look at how memory works in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Copilot, why a shorter note usually beats a longer one, and a seven-line file you can copy tonight.
If you keep pasting the same background into Claude, a Project can hold it for you, so every new chat already knows the job. Here’s what Projects are, what they’re good for, what they cost, and one example you can copy tonight.
Google’s new top model, Gemini 4 Argon, is now open to anyone who pays, at half price until November 30. Plus three small Claude Code changes that cut costs and close a permissions loophole.
Every time you send a message, the AI re-reads everything from the top, and you pay for it. Prompt caching lets you pay about a tenth of the price for the part that didn’t change, as long as you write your prompt in the right order.
Claude Dashboards can pull data from almost any tool you’ve plugged into Claude with MCP. Here’s how to connect one, the three prompts we used, a restart quirk that tripped us up, and how to tell whether your dashboard stays up to date.
Claude can now turn a question about your company’s data into a chart page that keeps itself up to date, and turn an idea into a short animated video. Here’s what each one does, who can use it, and the one detail that makes it trustworthy.
