Armin Ronacher is raising an alarm: AI agents may be inducing a form of collective psychosis in the developers who build with them. That framing alone is worth stopping for.
This issue of the Changelog newsletter also covers Dan Abramov reframing AT Protocol as a social filesystem, Ethan McCue on life-altering Postgres patterns, Lea Verou arguing web dependencies are structurally broken, and RepoBar as a tool for keeping GitHub activity visible without touching a browser.
