When I first saw #JetBrainsAir, their new agentic development environment, I knew this was the direction #JetBrains needed. I'm glad to see Air improve and I'm excited to see it is now the centerpiece of their strategy: blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2026/09...
JetBrains Air: Building a System of Products for Agentic Software Development - The JetBrains Blog
AI can produce code. Organizations still have to produce software. Agentic development is changing how software gets made, but it hasn’t changed what it costs to be wrong. Six months ago, we began

We're using #Quarkus #Roq (iamroq.dev ), a wonderful static site generator. I love the type-safetey. Here's what #Claude just told me about Qute, the templating engine:
"That's a nice property of this setup — a bad template expression can't reach production. "

Back from vacation, I caught up on email, projects, and tasks with a #gtd weekly-ish review. The #Spark email client (sparkmailapp.com) is a big help. It groups senders and filters newsletters/notifications, keeping important emails in focus while making others easy to process.

Even though I primarily use #ClaudeCode, I use multiple coding agents. One of my favorites is #ampcode (ampcode.com ) from #sourcegraph. I've been following them since their initial coding assistant, Cody. The future belongs to agents that don't tie you to specific frontier models.
