A practical, end-to-end guide to building an MCP server in Python: scaffold with the official SDK, expose tools, resources, and prompts, run over stdio and Streamable HTTP, debug with the Inspector, and register in Claude Code and Cursor.
Claude Code adds abstractions, fallbacks and files nobody asked for. Here are the practical controls - CLAUDE.md rules, plan mode, scoped prompts, effort settings and review gates - that get you surgical changes instead.
Run Claude Code against OpenRouter instead of Anthropic billing: the three-env-var setup, which open models work as backends, live pricing, and the tool-use and prompt-caching catches the hype threads skip.
OpenCode just passed Claude Code on GitHub stars. We compare the open-source, model-agnostic terminal agent against Anthropic's polished CLI on setup, models, MCP, pricing, and who should pick which.
OpenAI's Codex CLI quietly logged at TRACE level to a local SQLite database, writing an extrapolated ~640 TB a year to some developers' SSDs. Here's what happened, how to check whether your drive was affected, and how to fix it.
A practical 2026 guide to how Claude Code usage limits actually work and the concrete habits that get more done inside them: right model per task, context hygiene, a tight CLAUDE.md, and when an API key beats a subscription.
CLAUDE.md is Claude Code's per-project memory file, auto-loaded into context at the start of every session. Here is how to write one that actually helps: anatomy, an annotated example, common mistakes, and how it relates to AGENTS.md and Cursor rules.
TypeScript 6.0 is the last JavaScript-based release before the Go-powered TypeScript 7. Here's what's new, what breaks, and how to upgrade safely.
Running five Claude Code sessions in five terminals and forgetting which one's stuck waiting on you? A free board that gives every agent its own column, a task queue, and a notify-only signal when one needs your input.
Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.7 Code — a 1T-parameter open-weight coding model with a 256K context, ~30% fewer thinking tokens than K2.6, and strong MCP tool-use. Benchmarks, pricing, API, and local-deployment guide.
Anthropic's first publicly available Mythos-class model, released June 9, 2026. Third-party benchmarks, pricing, context window, availability, the safety reroute to Opus 4.8, and how it compares to GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.5.
Google's Gemini 3.5 Live Translate is a new audio model for continuous speech-to-speech translation in 70+ languages. Here's how it works, where it ships, and how to build with it.
A practical 2026 comparison of faster-whisper, whisper.cpp, and OpenAI's reference Whisper — speed, VRAM, accuracy, and which local speech-to-text runtime to pick for your hardware.
How senior engineers wire Claude Skills and MCP servers together in 2026: SKILL.md format, the MCP 2025-11-25 spec, real integration patterns for code review, database access, and incident response.
How Cursor Composer, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI compare on setup, agents, MCP, models, and pricing in 2026.
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, SKILL.md, and Copilot instructions all do the same job differently. Here is the 2026 breakdown of format, frontmatter, monorepo handling, and which one to pick.
In a single month, xAI shipped a coding agent, a skills system, and a connectors layer. Here's how Grok Build 0.1, Grok Skills, and Platform Connectors fit together — and how the stack compares to Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot Workspaces.
DeepWiki turns any public GitHub repo into an AI-generated wiki at deepwiki.com. The URL swap, Fast vs Deep Research, private repos via Devin, MCP for Cursor and Claude Code, vs GitHub and Cursor.
Honest 2026 review of the best free and paid GitHub Copilot alternatives after the June 1 token-billing change. Continue.dev, Cline, Codeium/Windsurf, Aider, Tabby, Cursor, Claude Code and more.
Codersera Notes is a free browser-based note taker with native Markdown shortcuts, a sticky formatting toolbar, strikethrough, and one-click public share links. Here is what it does, who it is for, and how it compares to Notion, Bear, Obsidian, and Apple Notes in 2026.
A practical guide to Wingman, Codersera's invisible AI copilot for Mac. What it is, who it's for, how it fits a real interview workflow, and the day-in-the-life of an engineer using it under pressure.
Clipy is Codersera's free browser-based screen recorder. No install, no signup, no watermark — just open a URL, hit record, and share the link. Here is the full story: what it does, who it is for, the privacy story, and how it compares to Loom, OBS, and QuickTime.
Gemini CLI vs Claude Code in May 2026: open source vs proprietary, free 1,000 req/day vs $20/mo, SWE-bench scores, install, multimodal workflows, and a clear decision framework.
A neutral 2026 comparison of Claude Code and OpenAI Codex: SWE-bench scores, Terminal-Bench, real pricing, token efficiency, sandboxing, and a clear decision framework for engineering teams.
Cursor Composer 2 vs Claude Sonnet 4.6, with the disambiguation other comparisons skip — Composer is both a feature and a model. Benchmarks, pricing, decision tree, and real workflow patterns for May 2026.
