Rethinking how we build for the agentic era. Stop writing agent skills like human docsβit wastes tokens and invites hallucinations.
Here's a distilled set of core best practices (<5 min read) to help us write better skills.

Angular hit 100k stars on GitHub :)
Thatβs a great milestone!
Great article on the hidden cost of high-velocity engineering in the AI era.
We talk about how AI tools make individual tasks faster, but there's constant context-switching and decision fatigue.

A2UI debugger
I quickly prototyped a tool for A2UI that helps you:
β£ Time travel through the stream of messages
β£ Explore the internal state of the UI structure
β£ Preview a rendered representation
β£ Expand the structure of a single message
Give it a try github.com/mgechev/a2ui...
An attempt to reduce the ambiguity and increase interpretability of LLMs by shifting away from the current self-attention block in transformers

Really thrilled about this project. It enables hyper personalized contextual UI for everyone!
Instead of trying to find a functionality behind a ton of obscure UX, as developers, we can now provide *exactly* the functionality our users need!

Published a new bite sized episode focused on AI agents in my programming podcast!
You can learn about:
- Agents and LLM
- Main building blocks of an agent
- Context management
- Common agent architectures

Love the latest Angular v21 release event!
And guess what? Angular has an official mascot as of today! Welcome, Angie π

MCP UI allows you to expose JavaScript components via the model context protocol
In this quick video @hybrist.dev shares how you created an Angular component and exposed it as a tool to ChatGPT www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMNo...

injection-js is a standalone dependency injection framework inspired by Angular
It's a perfect fit for your backend use cases or on the client-side when Angular is not part of your tech stack

My blog brings me so many nostalgic memories looking at content I wrote 10 to 14 years ago. A lot of passion about clean code, algorithms, and the Web :)

Angular CLI's MCP server is getting better!
It provides tools to:
β£ Understand your workspace structure
β£ Provide best practices
β£ Look up documentation
β£ See examples
Find how to install it angular.dev/ai/mcp
π That's one of my favorite talks I've given. Had a lot of fun preparing for it and I'm happy with the balance of practicality and theory. Hope you enjoy it too :)
β¨ "Resourceful Suspense" from JSNation is out!
I built the same AI app in Angular & React to compare deferred loading trade-offs.
See how these work between the two frameworks:
β£ Deferrable views vs Suspense
β£ Deferred data
β£ Incremental hydration
β£ AI tool calling

@simonaco.bsky.social @jelbourn.bsky.social @marktechson.com will continue driving the product roadmap and developer relations. We've always worked very closely together and will continue collaborating! :)
If you're curious what is some of the latest innovation we did in that space check out the Angular + AI developer event!

Thrilled to share my new role as the tech lead across frameworks at Google! My initial focus is boosting productivity with AI.
While this means I'll be less hands-on with Angular with fewer public appearances, I'll be supporting the team and the rest of Google more than ever π
AngularAI
Experimental, browser-first agent that truly understands your Angular app.
Hyper-contextual debugging, prototyping, etc. Agent has access to:
- Source files & config
- Runtime state & app internal data
Let me know what you think!

Minko's law: the number of agents using LLMs quadruples every quarter.
Great article!
I love PL & type theory. Thatβs the last content in this alley I posted a few years ago.

Thereβs an entire revolution in this field going on with Lean and mathlib. May get back to it!
I've been working on Linux over the past day after more than 10 years of using macOS and I clearly remember why I switched.
It's a memory test for knowing poorly named tools, their arguments, and dealing with version incompatibilities.
Glad I can reuse my dotfiles, at least.
Here's a short video showing how to use it and what it does
π΅οΈββοΈ Context Inspector
Tiny tool that helps you inspect your agent's context and find what changed between calls

Where do you find yourself getting stuck/annoyed when building web apps with LLM assistance (using Copilot, Cursor, etc.)?
It's often hard to merge large pull requests due to:
- Lack of alignment in the design
- Not obvious breaking changes
For the first one, a conversation with someone on the team will help. For the second one, we'll know once we run all the tests in Google and let you know.
