Wow this is absolutely massive.

The new Stitch tool from Google may have just completely ruined the careers of millions of web & UI designers — and it’s only just get started.

Just check out these stunning designs:

This is an absolute game changer for anyone who’s ever dreamed of building an app but felt intimidated by the whole design thing.

It’s a huge huge deal.

Just imagine you have a classic app idea — photo sharing app, workout app, todo-list whatever…

❌ Before:

You either hire a designer or spend hours wrestling with design software trying to create a pixel perfect UI.

Or maybe you even just try to wing it and hope for the best, making crucial design decisions on the fly as you develop the app.

✅ Now:

Just tell Stitch whatever the hell you’re thinking.

Literally just describe your app in plain English.

“A blue-themed photo-sharing app”:

Look how Stitch let me easily the design — adding likes for every photo:

Or, if you’ve got a rough sketch on a napkin, snap a pic and upload it. Stitch takes your input, whatever it is, and then — BOOM — it generates a visual design for your app’s user interface. It’s like having a personal UI designer at your fingertips.

But it doesn’t stop there. This is where it gets really cool — especially for developers.

Stitch doesn’t just give you a pretty picture. It also spits out the actual HTML and CSS code that brings that design to life.

Suddenly your app concept isn’t just an idea — it’s a working prototype.

How amazing is that?

Stitch is pretty smart too. It can give you different versions of your design, so you can pick the one you like best. You can also tweak things – change the colors, switch up the fonts, adjust the layout. It’s incredibly flexible. And if you want to make changes, just chat with Stitch. Tell it what you want to adjust, and it’ll make it happen. It’s a conversation, not a command line.

Behind all this magic are Google’s powerful AI models, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash. These are the brains making sense of your ideas and turning them into designs and code. The whole process is surprisingly fast.

Who is this for?

Everyone. If you’re a complete beginner with zero design or coding experience, Stitch is your new best friend. You can create professional-looking apps without breaking a sweat.

It’s a fantastic way to rapidly prototype ideas and get a head start on coding for seasoned developers.

Right now, Stitch is in public beta, available in 212 countries, though it only speaks English for now. And yes, you can use it for free, with a monthly limit on how many designs you can generate.

It’s a super-powered starting gun for your app development journey. It streamlines the early stages to get you from a raw idea to a tangible design and code much faster.

And if you still want more fine-grained control, you can always export your design to Figma.

So, if you’ve got an app idea bubbling in your mind, Google Stitch might just be the tool you’ve been waiting for to bring it to life.

Wow this is insane.

This new AI coding agent from Google is simply incredible. Google is getting dead serious about dev tooling. No more messing around.

Jules is a genius agent can understand your intent, plan out steps, and execute complex coding tasks without even trying.

A super-smart teammate who can tackle coding tasks on its own asynchronously to make software dev so much easier.

It works seamlessly in the background so you can focus on other important stuff.

Gemini 2.5 Pro

Jules is powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is Google’s advanced AI model for complex tasks. This gives it serious brainpower for understanding code.

And you bet 2.5 Flash is on its way to give it even more insane speeds.

When you give Jules a task it clones your codebase into a secure virtual machine in the Google Cloud. This is like a private workspace where Jules can experiment safely without messing with your live code.

It then understands the full context of your project. This is crucial because it helps Jules make smart, relevant changes. It doesn’t just look at isolated bits of code; it sees the whole picture.

After it’s done, Jules shows you its plan, its reasoning for the changes, and a “diff” of what it changed. You get to review everything and approve it before it goes into your main project. It even creates pull requests for you on GitHub!

Jules is quite the multi-tasker. It can handle a variety of coding chores you might not enjoy doing yourself.

For example, it can write tests for your code, which is super important for quality. It can also build new features from scratch, helping you speed up development.

Bug fixing? Yeah Jules can do that too. It can even bump dependency versions, which can be a tedious and error-prone task.

One cool feature is its audio changelogs. Jules can give you spoken summaries of recent code changes, turning your project history into something you can simply listen to.

Google has made it clear that you’re always in charge. Jules doesn’t train on your private code, and your data stays isolated. You can review and modify Jules’s proposed plans at every step.

It works directly with GitHub, so it integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow. No need to learn a new platform or switch between different tools.

Jules is currently in public beta, and it’s free to use with some limits. This is a big step towards “agentic development,” where AI systems take on more responsibility in the software development process.

It might sound like Jules is coming for developer jobs, but that’s probably not the goal here — at least for now.

Jules is meant to be a powerful tool that frees up developers to focus on higher-level thinking, design, and more creative problem-solving. It’s about making you more productive and efficient.

So, if you’re a developer, now’s a great time to check out Jules. It could really change the way you work.

Wow this is some incredible news…

Claude 4 Sonnet is now available in Windsurf with no API key! (No more BYOK in Cascade).

You no longer have to pay additional costs for the amazing model.

And the coding has been absolutely insane 👇

For a while now people have been pointing out how amazing they find Claude 4 Sonnet, especially compared to Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-4.1. And this isn’t just hype – the difference is showing up in real-world workflows, especially in long context tasks, clean refactoring, and deep architectural suggestions.

And remember this is the junior sibling of Claude 4 Opus — that incredible model that literally did all the coding by itself in a massive project for a full hour and a half…

That was 90 actual minutes of total hands-free autonomous coding genius with zero bugs. Opus 4 planned, coded, edited, and completed an entire full-stack project, and Claude 4 Sonnet shares a massive chunk of that DNA. In fact, for a lot of development tasks, especially within a controlled and optimized coding environment like Windsurf, the gap between Sonnet and Opus is surprisingly small.

What makes this even more monumental is the fact that Windsurf had previously been locked out of native Claude 4 support.

When Claude 4 launched back in May, Anthropic explicitly restricted direct Windsurf access, most likely due to the intense competitive landscape and the recent strategic moves surrounding Windsurf — including rumors of OpenAI acquiring the company and Google’s subsequent licensing deal for Windsurf’s code-generation platform.

The workaround was BYOK — “bring your own key.” That meant if you wanted to use Sonnet or Opus in Windsurf, you had to sign up for the Claude API separately, manage your own usage, and copy-paste keys manually. It worked — but it broke the seamless, fluid experience Windsurf is known for. It was a turbulent journey for users and the platform alike.

That’s now over. As of July 17, Claude 4 Sonnet is directly integrated into Windsurf again. You open the app, click a dropdown, and Sonnet’s there — no more hacks, no more limits. This signifies a successful restoration of support and improved collaboration between Windsurf and Anthropic, much to the relief of the developer community. It’s clean, fast, and shockingly good.

In fact, this might just be the best Claude experience available anywhere right now. The way Sonnet integrates into Cascade — Windsurf’s multi-agent AI flow system — feels like watching the future unfold in real time. Cascade breaks your prompts into intelligent stages, keeps memory across actions, and even offers live suggestions while you type. Now, with the raw power of Sonnet 4 plugged into that, it feels like pair programming with an elite coder who has already thoroughly digested your entire codebase.

The 200K context window means it can see everything — not just your current file, but your whole project: imports, dependencies, comments, TODOs, legacy bugs. Sonnet reads all of it, understands it, and then acts on it with unparalleled precision. You can ask it to upgrade your framework, optimize a specific component, or redesign an entire backend architecture — and it doesn’t blink. It just does it.

Add to that multi-file refactoring, which is handled intelligently without you needing to manually stage files or explain how everything is connected. Just describe the goal, and Claude intelligently does the wiring, making complex changes feel effortless.

The code it writes doesn’t feel “AI-generated.” It feels like code written by someone experienced — it follows the tone and patterns of your project, names things sensibly, and almost never makes you stop and think, “Wait, what is this supposed to be?”

For Pro users, you get 250 calls/month, billed at 2× credits — but for the sheer quality and effectiveness of Sonnet, that’s a deal that quickly pays for itself. Claude’s output is so effective that it drastically cuts out a ton of trial and error, which ultimately saves more time (and more credits) than even faster models that often need constant babysitting and manual correction.

Windsurf’s focus on enterprise-grade security and compliance (SOC 2 Type 2, FedRAMP High, HIPAA) enhances its value even more to make it a powerful solution for organizations seeking both efficiency and peace of mind.

This is all part of a major new string of updates from Windsurf, solidifying its position at the cutting edge of AI-powered development. With Claude 4 Sonnet now fully native, there’s truly no friction. No switching tabs, no key juggling, no API rate worries. Just open your editor and build.

And we haven’t even seen what happens if Opus 4 gets native access next.

This isn’t just a good update — it’s a massive leap forward for developer productivity and the future of coding. If you’ve been sleeping on Claude and Windsurf, now’s the time to wake up and ship.

Wow this is incredible.

Google is getting dead serious about dev tooling — their new Firebase Studio is going to be absolutely insane for the future of software development.

A brand new IDE packed with incredible and free AI coding features to build full-stack apps faster than ever before.

Look at how it was intelligently prototyping my AI app with lightning speed — simply stunning.

AI is literally everywhere in Firebase Studio — right from the very start of even creating your project.

• Lightning-fast cloud-based IDE
• Genius agentic AI
• Dangerous Firebase integration and instant deployment…

And it looks like they’re going with light theme this time.

Before even opening any project Gemini is there to instantly scaffold whatever you have in mind.

Firebase Studio uses Gemini 2.5 Flash — the thinking model that’s been seriously challenging Claude and Grok for some months now.

For free.

And you can choose among their most recent models — but only Gemini (sorry).

Although looks like there could be a workaround with the Custom model ID stuff.

For project creation there’s still dozens of templates to choose from — including no template at all.

Everything runs on the cloud in Firebase Studio.

No more wasting time setting up anything locally — build and preview and deploy right from your IDE.

Open up a project and loading happens instantly.

Because all the processing is no longer happening in a weak everyday PC — but now in a massively powerful data center with unbelievable speeds.

You can instantly preview every change in a live environment — Android emulators load instantly.

You’ll automatically get a link for every preview to make it easy to test and share your work before publishing.

The dangerous Firebase integration will be one of the biggest selling points of Firebase.

All the free, juicy, powerful Firebase services they’ve had for years — now here comes a home-grown IDE to tie them together in such a deadly way.

• Authentication for managing users
• Firestore for real-time databases
• Cloud Storage for handling file uploads
• Cloud Functions for server-side logic All of these are available directly from the Studio interface.

And that’s why deployment is literally one click away once you’re happy with your app.

Built-in Firebase Hosting integration to push your apps live to production or preview environments effortlessly.

Who is Firebase Studio great for?

• Solo developers who want to quickly build and launch products
• Teams prototyping new ideas
• Hackathon participants
• Educators teaching fullstack development
• Anyone who wants a low-friction, high-speed way to build real-world apps

It especially shines for developers who already love Firebase but want a more integrated coding and deployment flow.

You can start using Firebase Studio by visiting firebase.studio. You’ll need a Google account. Once inside, you can create new projects, connect to existing Firebase apps, and start coding immediately. No downloads, no complex setup.

So this is definitely something to consider — you might start seeing local coding as old-school.

But whether you’re building your next startup or just hacking together a side project, Firebase Studio is an fast integrated way to bring your app to life.

Wow this is seriously revolutionary.

Google just destroyed Claude Code with their new Gemini CLI tool.

Now you have effortless access to the most powerful AI models on the planet right from your terminal.

Make intelligent agentic changes to your entire codebase.

Run series of power CLI commands with a simple prompt.

All you have to do is npm i -g @google/gemini :

And here’s the real killer blow to Claude Code — it’s FREE.

Okay not free free — like there’s a free tier but the limits are like super generous — trust Google… imagine how many millions they burn daily from all the people using their Gemini models.

You see free stuff like this is why we shouldn’t force Google to sell Chrome — and indirectly compromise their ad revenue cash cow that covers all these expenses.

60 free requests per minute – 1 request per second. There’s no way you’re going above that so I don’t want to hear anybody complaining.

And don’t complain about the 1000 requests per day either.

Remember this isn’t even something you’re constantly making requests to like you would for a code completion API as you type.

It’s a genius agentic AI that intelligently makes massive changes across your entire codebase at a time. With the 1 million token context window, it more than capable for handling most project codebases out there.

And not just changes but terminal commands.

Coming to the terminal basically now gives it first-class access to all the powerful CLI commands — include third-party CLI commands.

Anything you do in the command line, Gemini CLI can do — and far more of course.

Here’s a really powerful example: sometimes for a quick project or MVP I find myself making a bunch of not-so-related changes all over the place without committing.

Without Gemini CLI I might just get lazy and just bunch all of them together with super vague message like “Misc” or “Update”.

But now with a simple prompt, I can tell Gemini CLI to use the git command to intelligent make a series of commits based on all the various uncommitted changes in my codebase. With highly descriptive commit messages and conventional commits.

Major time savings. Saves effort. Less drudgery.

Not just commits — automate testing, documentation, deployment, fetching PRs, fixing new issues…

And of course it has powerful MCP support to drastically upgrade its capabilities.

Multimodal capabilities — including AI video generation from text prompts in the CLI like we saw in the demo.

For sure this is going to be one the most impactful new tools in the developer toolbox.

Wow this is insane.

Anthropic recently released Claude Code: a brand new AI assistant that’s going to have huge impacts on software development as a whole.

This is quite different from IDE-integrating tools like GitHub Copilot or Windsurf Cascade.

This works standalone in the command line — you can use it in any terminal to make huge changes to your codebase.

The intelligence is incredible, just look at this: Claude Code literally just did all the coding by itself on a project for a full hour and a half — zero human assistance.

That’s right — 90 actual minutes of total hands-free autonomous coding genius with zero bugs. The progress is wild.

Claude Code acts as an intelligent collaborator, capable of understanding your entire codebase, automating complex tasks, and accelerating your development workflow.

Fundamentally Claude Code is here to be an active participant in the coding process.

It can search and read through your project’s files, make edits, write and execute tests, and even manage Git workflows like committing and pushing code.

This is all done transparently, keeping you the developer in the loop at every stage.

Key features and capabilities

Claude Code boasts a range of powerful features that set it apart as a next-generation coding tool:

Deep codebase understanding

Thanks to agentic search, Claude Code can map and comprehend the structure and dependencies of your entire project without requiring you to manually specify context files.
