There s a lot of discussion on X and other places about the future of software development. As with many things in life, the reality is both complex and in the middle of the extreme viewpoints. What we re seeing at Tonkotsu:
Agents are fast and powerful, but make mistakes. They can t operate unsupervised. We think they re like unreliable compilers.
That means developers are as critical as ever, but their role shifts to being managers of coding agents.
This transformation means developers need to be focused on planning and verification, while delegating coding. The role has become barbell-shaped, and the industry needs new tools and workflows to accommodate this.
New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.
Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?
This community helped turn a scrappy weekend project into something used by 25,000+ people from all around the world. So it felt right to share this here first:
On Jan 31, we are launching Pretty Prompt 1.0 right here on Product Hunt.

While flying to Argentina to visit my family for the New Year, I scrolled through my phone and realized how much happened since we launched Pretty Prompt on Product Hunt 7 months ago.
On June 14, 2023, the European Parliament officially voted to ban unpaid internships.
This honestly made me happy, because I remember how, during college, I was expected to spend a full 2 months working full-time at an advertising agency as an unpaid intern (Spoiler alert: I fought for and got some pay ), but that wasn t the norm.
Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.
Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.
