I coded my latest app entirely in Markdown and let GitHub Copilot compile it into Go. This resulted in cleaner specs, faster iteration, and no more context loss. ✨

This article argues for designing software through prototyping and suggest the way you can adjust the shape of your codebase to leverage coding agents to build prototypes faster.

Here is our scenario : you are the technical director of a web startup, already having proven your talents with your thematic VOD streaming channel - and your boss suddenly thinks you're a grown enough company to jump on the broadcast wagon and manage your own 24/7 live TV channel, targeting IPTV and multiplatform OTT, with a mix of some live studio shows and mainly pre-recorded programs. And of course readify it for later iTV DTT distribution. Quite an exciting challenge ! Fortunately, the web attitude has contaminated many industries with its desire to promote interoperability and avoid vendor lock-in with full-IP standard worflows. The BBC has shown the way for a long-time, funding many developments like the Dirac codec for its own needs of tapeless workflows and open-sourcing them quickly afterwards. Other TV channels like SVT from Sweden (with CasparCG) and many independent developers have jumped onboard, and by combining their efforts with your usual web video tools like FFmpeg or other free tools, you can for sure build the target platform.

Built over 14 days, all locally run, no API keys, cloud services, or subscription fees.

AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

A new convention is emerging in the open-source ecosystem: AGENTS.md, a straightforward and open format designed to assist AI coding agents in software development. Already adopted by more than 20,000 repositories on GitHub, the format is being positioned as a companion to traditional documentation, offering machine-readable context that complements human-facing files like README.md.

Interleaving and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) presents a powerful opportunity to validate the retriever configuration, the model, and the prompt, in one package. In this article I focus on comparing the outcomes of Bing, Google, and Brave search results when using team-draft interleaving in a RAG web research platform.
