Engineering notes

Recording a terminal is the easy part — every tool here does it. Getting a legible, vertical, still-correct-in-six-weeks demo out the other end is where most of them stop helping. Here's what each is actually for, and where a typed terminal beats recording one.

Every DevRel team already agrees they should be making more short-form video. The reason most still aren't isn't ideas — it's that each one gets treated as a production. Here's a playbook that turns your existing release rhythm into a Shorts cadence instead.

Remotion turns React components into video frames, and Claude Code writes React all day — so "just wire them together" sounds obvious. Here's what actually breaks when an agent authors a Remotion scene, and what it takes to make that safe to leave running.

If you've run — or almost ran — a fully-automatic channel, you already know how it ends. The fix isn't giving up on automation. It's automating everything except the one decision that was never safe to automate.

You searched for the best MCP server for video expecting a ranked list. Here's why a list would mislead you — and the handful of criteria that let you judge any of them, including the one that launches next week.

The question that decides whether an AI video tool is worth it isn't “how good is the first result” — it's whether you can fix the third scene without redoing the other four. Here's how to tell the two apart.

Letting an AI agent build and publish a video by calling a studio's tools over the Model Context Protocol — what that actually means, why developers are reaching for it, and how to tell a real pipeline from a sealed box.

Your README already contains the script. Here's the approach that turns it into a watchable 60-second demo from editable scenes — and the place it quietly falls apart.

Hand your coding agent a video studio the same way you hand it a database — over MCP. Here's how the connection actually works, and what to expect the first time you run it.
