We invited from to share how they tested the "bash is all you need" hypothesis for AI agents.Ankur GoyalBraintrustThere's a growing conviction in the AI community that filesystems and bash are the optimal abstraction for AI agents. The logic makes sense: LLMs have been extensively trained on code, terminals, and file navigation, so you should be able to give your agent a shell and let it work.Even non-coding agents may benefit from this approach. Vercel's recent post on showed this by mapping sa

Becoming a design manager is a trade that most people make it without naming what they're giving up, which is why so many end up unhappy on the other side.I've gone from individual contributor to manager to director, and the most consistent mistake I see is people treating management as the "next rung" instead of a fundamentally different job. We treat someone's ability to manage others as a reflection of their worth, yet we rarely teach what management actually requires. That gap does real dama
