Two articles landed in my queue the same week: Microsoft's New Agentic Software Delivery Primitives and Anthropic's Solving Code Review at Anthropic .

Take one progress photo each day — even though this is more of a mental challenge, the byproduct will be a physical change at the end of the 75 days. Cre...
