Edison is a programmable robot designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students from 4 to 16 years of age. Edison empowers students to become not just coders, but inventors, problem solvers, and creative thinkers.
Jules Tools has quietly joined Gemini CLI and GitHub Actions in Google's lineup. This article details how these command-line agents differ and provides examples of their use.
This guide offers five essential tips for writing effective GitHub Copilot custom instructions, covering project overview, tech stack, coding guidelines, structure, and resources, to help developers get better code suggestions.
The article explores whether combining a command-line agent (like Claude Code or Gemini CLI) with Unix-like file system tools and SemTools is sufficient for complex tasks, particularly document search. It details a benchmark testing the limits of coding agents with and without SemTools, focusing on search, cross-referencing, and temporal analysis. The conclusion is that CLI access is powerful and SemTools enhances agent capabilities for document search and RAG.
DockaShell is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents isolated Docker containers to work in. Each agent gets its own persistent environment with shell access, file operations, and full audit trails. It aims to remove limitations of current AI assistants like lack of persistent memory, tool babysitting, limited toolsets, and no self-reflection, enabling self-evolving agents, continuous memory, autonomous exploration, and meta-learning.
The glamourous AI coding agent for your favourite terminal
A new study by MIT CSAIL researchers maps the challenges of AI in software development, identifying bottlenecks and highlighting research directions to move the field forward, aiming to allow humans to focus on high-level design while automating routine tasks.
The article discusses the impact of AI on coding and design jobs, advocating for a shift towards 'Vibe Coding' and emphasizing the importance of design principles and data management in the age of AI-assisted development. It highlights the need for detailed instructions and robust testing strategies when using AI tools, and proposes a more design-focused approach to computer science education.
Amazon has released Kiro, an AI-powered IDE designed for "vibe coding" that focuses on bringing prototypes into production with features like specs and hooks. It's powered by Claude 4 Sonnet and aims to apply software engineering best practices to the vibe-coding workflow.
