Do Angular apps need WebMCP when agents can already use the UI?
I gave six models the same todo tasks on two builds of an Angular app, one with WebMCP tools and one without: Claude Haiku, Sonnet and Opus in Claude Code, and GPT-6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-6 Sol in Codex CLI. Every run succeeded either way. With the tools, agents needed fewer browser commands in all twelve pairs and finished faster in ten.

Build an AI software factory (an experiment in .NET)
A series about handing software work to AI coding agents without handing off your judgement. I'm building a factory around them in .NET: where the work comes from, where agents run, how their output gets checked, what it costs, what they remember, and how people stay in charge of what ships. Each part takes one piece and describes what I learn while building it.

C# scripting in .NET 10: stop context-switching to your AI agent's scripts
You're debugging an issue and ask your AI agent to write a quick script that checks your database state. It hands you Python or JavaScript. You can read it, sure, but you can't review it at a glance the way you can with C. With .NET 10's dotnet run file.cs, there's no reason to leave your main coding language anymore for the utility scripts your agent writes during development.
