I'm going back to coding by hand
A developer abandoned six months of Claude-assisted work on a popular app, resuming hand coding after losing track of what AI-generated changes did.
In a Hacker News post, a developer of an app with a solid user base describes abandoning a six-month Claude-assisted rewrite because they no longer understood what the AI-generated code changed or broke. The author notes their workplace already writes code exclusively with LLMs and says returning to hand coding restored understanding and motivation. The post advises others feeling detached from their craft to stop using AI coding assistants for a few days.

numbat - AI agent observability, (Fri, Sep 4th)
SANS reviews Perplexity's open source numbat, a Go-based tool giving security teams observability, detection rules, and enforcement for AI agents like Claude and Gemini.
Numbat, Perplexity AI's open source observability tool, monitors desktop, CLI, IDE, and gateway AI agents through local hooks, OTLP/HTTP logs, and on-disk session artifacts. It ships detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK (e.g., recon.network_sweep / T1046), supports enforcement mode, and packages investigations with SHA256-verified manifests and timelines. The SANS review positions it as a response to unmanaged AI agent and MCP server sprawl highlighted by the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident.
