Read Original

The article is a technical case study by Mitchell Hashimoto on developing a non-trivial feature (unobtrusive macOS automatic updates) for the Ghostty terminal. It provides a detailed, unedited walkthrough of using AI and agentic coding tools as an assistant in the development process, including prototyping UI with Sparkle, the associated token costs, and the importance of human iteration in shipping real-world software.
