Not Replaced Yet

Agents are ignoring your AI skill.

And if your whole workflow depends on that skill firing… that’s a problem.

In Vercel’s agent evals (testing modern Next.js APIs), the “skill” approach often didn’t get invoked at all so the pass rate didn’t improve. Then they tried a different approach that removes the decision point entirely and it hit a 100% pass rate.

In this video I break down:

In the era of AI, agency is greater than intelligence.

I kept accidentally landing on the same post in my browser autocomplete. After seeing it over and over, it finally hit: in a world where you can rent genius-level reasoning for the cost of a subscription, intelligence isn’t the scarce resource anymore.

This video breaks down Andrej Karpathy’s “Agency is greater than Intelligence” idea, what agency actually means, and why this mental model matters right now if you want to stay ahead in the AI era.

Claude Code’s latest updates aren't about one shiny feature. It’s the same architectural decision showing up in three places: MCP tool search, setup hooks, and hooks that can inject context at the moment of action. The theme is simple: load less at startup, surface more in the moment. This is Progressive Disclosure.

In this video, we break down how MCP tool search flips the old “load everything upfront” approach (and why that was burning huge chunks of your context window), how setup hooks let initialization run only when it’s actually needed, and why the new hook behavior (returning additional context pre-tool-use) is a big deal for anyone building agentic workflows.

If you’re wiring up lots of MCP servers, building custom tooling, or designing agent architectures, this update is worth understanding because it’s a pattern you’re going to see everywhere.

It’s 2026 and your second foundational AI upgrade is to stop using ChatGPT.

Like a chatbot, that is.

Chatting back and forth isn’t the unlock anymore. The unlock is getting AI to do things for you, not just tell you things. In this video, I break down the shift from chatbots → agents, show what “agentic” tools can actually do (web browsing, running code, creating files, interacting with apps), and run three real tasks across three agents so you can see the difference in outputs and workflows.

The big takeaway: stop thinking “What can I ask AI?” and start thinking “What can I delegate to AI?” Build the habit of reaching for agents first.

In this episode of Not Replaced Yet, I’m breaking down Claude Code v2.1.3. A surprisingly meaningful release with a real mental-model simplification (slash commands + skills are now one unified concept), plus a bunch of quality-of-life fixes that matter if you’re actually using this thing daily.

If you’re not using Claude Code yet, you’ll still get the vibe of how fast this tool is evolving. And if you are using it, these are the updates you’ll want to know about.

In this episode of Not Replaced Yet, I break down the latest Claude Code updates (v2.1.2). The Anthropic team is shipping at a wild pace.

If you’re already using Claude Code, these updates remove real friction from everyday dev workflows. And if you aren’t using Claude Code yet, get on board!

We cover everything from image source metadata and clickable file paths, to massive improvements around large outputs, permissions, Windows installs, and — most importantly — a critical security fix you do not want to skip.

In the time it took you to click this video, Claude Code shipped another update 😅

Today I’m breaking down the major Claude Code 2.1.0 release (and the quick follow-up patch), including the biggest workflow wins: automatic skill hot-reload, forked skill execution, wildcard Bash permissions, hooks everywhere, real-time thinking display, and more.

If you’re using Claude Code already, these are the changes you’ll feel immediately. If you’re not using it yet… get started!

60% of the time, vibe coding works every time 😏

Welcome back to Not Replaced Yet. This is Part 2 of vibing an app into existence. In this episode I jump back into the NRY website build, make quick UI tweaks, add a smooth entrance animation, test the admin/dashboard flow (Clerk auth + Supabase-backed content), and then go from “it works locally” to a real production deploy on Vercel… including hitting (and fixing) a Next.js security/build issue mid-flight.

Big theme of this series: vibe coding is great when the stakes are LOW!

In this first episode of a two-parter of Not Replaced Yet, I go off-the-cuff with a live vibe code session for the NRY website. We start from zero in Claude Code and let the agent cook.

Along the way, I show the exact workflow I’m using in 2026:

This is low-stakes build mode — don’t do this for serious client work. But for personal projects and fast iteration, it’s insane.

Part 2 is coming next, where we finish the remaining UI polish, fix the last issues, and ship the site.

Your voice is the most important AI upgrade you can make in 2026.

In this episode of Not Replaced Yet, I break down a new class of AI tools that let you talk to your computer and actually get real work done faster.

We walk through modern voice-to-text apps like WisprFlow, Superwhisper, and others, why they’re different from basic dictation, and how they quietly change the way you work day-to-day. I also show exactly how I use voice inside my actual workflow, including talking directly into Claude Code.
