A paraphrasing of Gerald Jay Sussman's explanation for MIT's switch from Scheme to Python in its undergraduate computer science program, focusing on the changing nature of programming and the need to adapt to modern systems and libraries.
This report details the progress of the Medley Interlisp Project in 2025, including work on the core system, community outreach, and future plans for preserving and reviving the historical Interlisp environment.
An article detailing FastRender, a web browser built by Cursor using thousands of parallel coding agents. It explores the project's goals, architecture, and surprising findings about using AI for software development.
The article emphasizes the importance of optimizing AI coding agent context to improve efficiency and performance. The author shares four key techniques: maintaining an updated AGENTS.md file, providing documentation links, sharing IaC stack context, and starting new threads for new tasks.
**Bullet Points:**
- **Always update AGENTS.md**: Store coding rules and preferences across threads to improve consistency and reduce errors.
- **Provide documentation links**: Ensure agents use up-to-date API and syntax information by linking to current docs.
- **Provide IaC stack as context**: Share infrastructure details (e.g., database tables) to reduce token usage and improve speed.
- **Start new threads for new contexts**: Avoid context noise by initiating fresh threads when switching tasks or projects.
