    A CEO built his own AI agent with Claude MCP + NetSuite. It worked. Then it didn't scale.

    A CEO successfully built an AI agent using Anthropic's Claude MCP to assist with order status lookups within NetSuite, demonstrating impressive initial functionality. However, the prototype struggled with scalability, exhibiting long response times and issues with varied data formats. A subsequent rebuild by a specialized team addressed these challenges, leading to a robust AI program that now automates about 50% of support requests, significantly reduces response times, and offers substantial cost savings and ROI.

    Karpathy Said Kill Prompt Engineering. Here’s What He Actually Meant.

    Andrej Karpathy proposed a shift from "prompt engineering" to "context engineering," arguing that the former term inaccurately represents the complex task of building production AI applications. He clarified that real-world AI systems rely on dynamically assembling a context window from various sources like system instructions, retrieved documents, and conversation history, rather than just simple user prompts. This assembly process, which Karpathy deems the true engineering challenge, is crucial for optimal model performance and is distinct from merely crafting task descriptions. AI

    Why I Standardized on Phosphor Icons Across 15 Repos (And Cut 60% of Icon Bundle Size)

    The author standardized on Phosphor Icons across 15 repositories to resolve visual inconsistencies and reduce bundle size. Previously, the studio used five different icon systems, leading to a fragmented user experience and large file sizes, with one app's icon bundle reaching 84KB. By migrating to Phosphor, which offers six distinct weights within a single design family, the author achieved a unified visual identity and significantly improved performance, reducing the icon bundle size to 18KB.

    Four Things I Still Can't Hand to AI

    The author of MODAY, a T-shirt brand, describes their unconventional approach to using Claude Code for development and operations. Instead of organizing tasks and providing detailed technical instructions, the author delegates heavily, allowing Claude Code to manage file organization, code implementation, and even suggest improvements based on daily analytics. This method focuses on business-level criteria, with the author acting as a decision-maker for prompts and critical human-only tasks like financial and legal setups. AI
