Hello! This past fall, I decided to take some time to work on Git’s documentation. I’ve been thinking about working on open source docs for a long time – usually if I think the documentation for something could be improved, I’ll write a blog post or a zine or something. But this time I wondered: could I instead make a…

What a difference a year makes. When Netflix secured WWE Raw, a three-hour weekly live broadcast with more than three decades of history, it marked a turning point. Raw is chaos in motion: fan-fueled, unpredictable, impossible to rehearse. And now Netflix has to make it flawless. More than a licensing play. It’s an engineering gauntlet. Pulling it off means delivering…

AI agents introduce a challenge that traditional software doesn’t have: non-determinism. The same prompt can produce different outputs across runs, making reliable testing difficult. Add API costs and latency to the mix, and developer productivity takes a hit. Session recording in cagent addresses this directly. Record an AI interaction once, replay it indefinitely—with identical results,...
