AI Coding Daily

AI Coding Daily — Lantern Podcasts · lanternpodcasts.com

AI Coding Daily is the weekday briefing for software engineers, technical founders, and builders using coding agents on real projects. Each episode surfaces five developments that materially change how you build: Claude Code and OpenAI Codex releases, Cursor and Windsurf updates, GitHub Copilot rollouts, open-source coding agents, model and API changes, benchmarks, pricing, security disclosures, and proven workflows. No funding theater, basic tutorials, or vendor-launch rewrites. Reporting starts with release notes, documentation, engineering blogs, GitHub repositories, benchmark authors, security researchers, and practitioners. A rigorous anchor translates each technical change into consequences; a skeptical staff-engineer cohost asks whether it survives a real codebase, CI pipeline, security review, and deadline. Seven to nine focused minutes, Monday through Friday.
