I spent part of the weekend chasing multimodal agents and Git storage posts, then stopped and re-read a short note on how you actually check what an agent did. That stuck. The model drops keep coming — vision on DeepSeek Flash, agentic search from Mistral — but the skill that pays rent is still the same: tell the agent what to change, then verify it without treating a green diff as gospel. Also enjoyed the push to stop hiding behind TUIs when agents can knock out a native UI for the throwaway tools you actually use daily.
