- Code Intelligence for Linear Agent
Why Code Intelligence for Linear As companies grow, coordination gets more expensive. Slack and Teams made questions easy to ask, but answering them still takes time and interrupts the people who hold the context. That context often already exists across code, specs, customer notes, issues, and decisions. The problem has been that the information is hard to reach, and there hasn’t been a system where it could all live together. Linear is where product work already happens. Problems come in, context accumulates, plans get made, and work moves toward release. We had much of that in place, and we knew one important source of context was still missing, the code itself. Code is one of the best forms of product context because it is objective. A behaviour either exists or it does not, and a feature either supports a case today or it does not, so you can get a definite answer about the state of things as they exist. Once we brought code context into the system, we found it had impact beyond c

- No, Richard Dawkins. AI is not conscious | Arwa Mahdawi
Dawkins appears to have gone from atheist to AI-theist: perhaps he doesn’t view AI as God, but he certainly seems to see it as God-like Are you there God? It’s me, Arwa. I’ll be quite honest, I’m afraid I’ve never been a believer. I agreed wholeheartedly with Richard Dawkins, the world’s most famous atheist, when he argued that belief in God is a “pernicious” delusion. But perhaps I should reconsider my position. Recent events have led me to question Dawkins’ judgment about life, the universe and everything. Those recent events are the evolutionary biologist publicly concluding that AI may be conscious . In an op-ed, Dawkins recounted how he gave the Anthropic chatbot Claude the text of a novel he was writing. Dawkins writes: “He took a few seconds to read it and then showed … a level of understanding so subtle, so sensitive, so intelligent that I was moved to expostulate, ‘You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!’” Continue reading...

- Claude Code's '/goals' separates the agent that works from the one that decides it's done
A code migration agent finishes its run, and the pipeline looks green. But several pieces were never compiled — and it took days to catch. That's not a model failure; that's an agent deciding it was done before it actually was. Many enterprises are now seeing that production AI agent pipelines fail not because of the models’ abilities but because the model behind the agent decides to stop. Several methods to prevent premature task exits are now available from LangChain, Google and OpenAI, though these often rely on separate evaluation systems. The newest method comes from Anthropic: /goals on Claude Code , which formally separates task execution and task evaluation. Coding agents work in a loop: they read files, run commands, edit code and then check whether the task is done. Claude Code /goals essentially adds a second layer to that loop. After a user defines a goal, Claude will continue to turn by turn, but an evaluator model comes in after every step to review and decide if the goal
