10 anti-AI slop moves for frontend projects going faster than humans can review—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog

Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi

A longtime Claude Code user is switching to the open source harness Pi after accumulating frustrations. Claude Code only lets one session connect to the IDE at a time, a bug reported since December 2025 and closed as a duplicate. The author counts 244 Claude Code releases this year, with over three-quarters changing the system prompt or tool descriptions. Despite trimming 80% of the system prompt, the default Bash tool description still runs almost 3,000 tokens. The author calls Claude Code a product without strong direction and says Pi has been smooth sailing since the first few days.

Prompt Management in TypeScript: LangSmith vs Git vs 3 Open-Source Registries

Four prompt registries, LangSmith, Langfuse, Phoenix and AcruxCore, were tested against Git files on one TypeScript app with a single prompt containing a condition and a loop. All four can change a running app's prompt, roll it back, and split production and staging. The differences are in template syntax, dependency size and change latency. LangSmith pulled in 23 packages and 70MB via LangChain and took 300 seconds to reflect a change. Langfuse needed just 5 packages and 8MB with a 62-second cache. Phoenix has no template logic and no cache (0-second latency) but installed 57 packages and 90MB. AcruxCore supports Jinja2 server-side rendering with only 3 packages and 12MB, but every new variable set triggers a network call. Phoenix and Langfuse left the Jinja2 tags in their output with no error.

GTA.js, a reimplementation of the 1997 Grand Theft Auto engine in JavaScript and WebGL

Dự án GTA.js tái tạo lại engine của game Grand Theft Auto năm 1997 bằng JavaScript và WebGL, có thể chơi tại gtajs.wtf. Đây là bản reimplement chứ không phải emulator, nên một số vật lý và animation khác với bản gốc, nhưng engine nhiệm vụ chính xác dựa trên tài liệu mtd.doc. Tác giả sử dụng Gemini AI để triển khai hầu hết các tính năng, tham khảo tài liệu mở, ghi chú cộng đồng và trí nhớ cá nhân về game. Hiện tại game đã chơi được nhưng cảnh sát (cops) vẫn chưa được implement.

Lập trình viên nên đọc bài này để khám phá cách tái tạo lại engine game cổ bằng JavaScript và WebGL từ con số không.

I made Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity build the same Chrome extension, and only one was a keeper

One prompt was all it took to reveal which AI coding tool understood the assignment best.
