I come back to this speech every once in a while: “in the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches … what percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? only 54%.”

People ask me how I stay so optimistic. The honest answer: I read the data, not the headlines.

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…

AI can write code. Great engineers know how to guide it. Join @tebeka 's 2-day Online Workshop: 🗓️June 24th & 25th Learn practical techniques for working with AI agents, context engineering, MCPs, & modern development workflows. 🔗Sign-up today: ardanlabs.com/go-ai-agents #AI #golang #SoftwareEngineering #AIAgents

switching to humans is cheaper than agentic coding when you don’t have a blank check budget

Sound familiar? Here's a way to change that: 2-Day · Online Workshop with @tebeka AI can generate code fast, but production systems still need engineering judgment. 🗓️ June 24th & 25th, 2026 ⏰ 2 sessions | 4 hours each 🎟️Reserve your seat: ardanlabs.com/go-ai-agents Miki will cover: → context engineering → planning & workflows → memory tools MCPs → production-ready agent design

זו לא בושה לשאוף לשלום.

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth. It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter. Less than a refrigerator light bulb. The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light. By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery. NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise. The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself. Launched 1977. Still transmitting. Still being heard. We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in. That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

Performance is a feature

If you have 8 GB VRAM or even 16 GB VRAM you can play with OpenCode now with Kronk. 16 GB: Qwopus3.5-4B-Coder.Q8_0 8 GB: gemma-4-E4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL If you install or clone Kronk for the first time, the model config and opencode settings will have this support.

Most developers are still using AI agents like autocomplete. In Practical Go Development with AI Agents, @tebeka shows how to use context engineering & AI agents to build production Go systems. 📅 2-Day Online Workshop | 6/24 & 6/25 🎟️ Learn more here: ardanlabs.com/go-ai-agents #golang #AIAgents #GenerativeAI #SoftwareEngineering

GitHub Copilot's switch to token-based billing is turning $29 subscriptions into $750 bills overnight, and developers are right to be furious. Install #Kronk, point VS Code Chat at it, and get back to writing code. kronkai.com/blog/free-yourse…

Most developers go through the same stages with AI tools: Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. As Miki Tebeka says: “It’s my tireless, idiot-savant assistant.” The difference is what you do after you reach acceptance. In this 2-day workshop, @tebeka shows how to move from experimenting with AI to generating high-quality, idiomatic Go code using AI agents & context engineering. 🎟️Reserve your seat: ardanlabs.com/go-ai-agents 📅June 24th & 25th | 12pm - 4pm EST #golang #AIAgents #GenerativeAI #SoftwareEngineering

Chapter 8 of The Anatomy of Go is now available. It discusses channels, timers, concurrency, goroutine creation and lifecycle, runtime startup, preemption, scheduling, I/O handling, the system monitor... and a bunch of other things. The book is now complete at 873 pages, and early access will be closing soon after the editing phase, (which may add a few more pages). As usual, here is an excerpt:

Have you ever stopped a Go web server with Ctrl C and noticed your cleanup code never ran? In the latest Tebeka Shorts, @tebeka demonstrates how to properly handle OS signals in Go for graceful shutdowns. The episode covers: → SIGINT vs SIGTERM → signal.Notify → Goroutines select → Graceful shutdowns with timeout contexts Watch here: youtu.be/ByV7DmYCv3Q #golang #SoftwareEngineering
