Yesterday I posted about Codex turning small tasks into big systems. Several people in the replies pointed to the same tool: 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹. Besides adding rules to AGENTS.md, you can install this ready-made Skill. It’s like giving Codex / Claude Code a senior developer who’s too lazy to reinvent the wheel. An example from the repo: you ask for a date picker, and the agent starts installing a library, writing a wrapper, and adding styles. Ponytail’s solution is one line: If the browser’s built-in control does the job, you can skip all that extra work. Before writing new code, Ponytail tells the agent to check these options in order: → Reuse an existing implementation in the codebase → Prefer the standard library and built-in platform features → Use an installed dependency if it solves the problem → If none of those are enough, write only what the current task needs If the agent has already written a pile of code, you can also use 𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹-𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 to check the current diff. It flags unnecessary abstractions, duplicate implementations, and dependencies you don’t need. Each finding includes the file, line number, what to delete, and what to use instead. It returns a review checklist without changing the code. Try it on the diff that keeps growing with every change.

Git at Scale (by cursor) has been one of the most interesting blog posts i've read in a while. It came right when I was frustrated with Shopify's internal git system. As an exercise, I've implemented it over the weekend as open source. It's a single rust binary that you can point at any S3 type object store. It uses WAL and CAS primitives and requires no other data store. It also implements bundle-uri so large git repos (like our mono) are very fast to download as a chain of static bundles. Also comes with basic familiar UX. github.com/tobi/walgit

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

I've been loving Ghostty. I started the lazyide project because I've been wanting to spend all of my time in the terminal now. Check out lazyide: github.com/tgeorge06/lazyide
