100+ coding prompts top engineers use to ship 5X faster
Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor are on every engineer's stack. Most still treat them like a search bar. Top engineers work from a system, these 100+ prompts are that system. Sign up for The Code and get the prompts free, plus a 5-minute daily newsletter to keep sharpening your edge.
PROJUKTI BRIEF
1 Joby flies 3,199 miles across the US without a pilot at the controls
Joby Aviation says it has completed the first fully autonomous coast-to-coast flight in the United States. The aircraft handled every stage of the trip on its own, from takeoff to landing, while a team monitored it remotely. See the flight in photos and video.
2 A "fire amoeba" from California hot springs sets a new heat record for complex life
Researchers found an amoeba that keeps living at 145°F (63°C), higher than any other complex organism on record. Its proteins appear to be built differently to hold together in that heat, which reshapes where scientists think complex life can survive.
3 Claude agents sift 1.9B protein clusters and surface an unknown enzyme system
Anthropic's biology team pointed Claude-powered agents at 1.9 billion protein clusters, and they flagged an enzyme system nobody had described before. Peer review has not happened yet, so the result is a promising lead rather than a confirmed finding. Watch Anthropic's video on the discovery.
4 NASA's Chandra data reveals 84 X-ray sources that fit no known category
Combing through Chandra X-ray Observatory archives, astronomers spotted 84 "hypersoft" X-ray sources scattered across nearby galaxies. Most had never been catalogued, and what produces them is still an open question.
PROJUKTI TECH
Meta VR Glasses. Lightweight glasses that double as a private movie screen or a multi-monitor desk setup.
Eight Sleep Pod 6. A smart mattress cover that uses AI to adjust bed temperature through the night and tracks your sleep without a wearable.
Peloton Tread Flex. A folding treadmill that takes up close to half the floor space when put away.
Nuwa Pen. A smart pen with three cameras that uses AI to turn handwriting on regular paper into digital notes as you write.
PROJUKTI SNAPSHOT
👽 Lights Over Tehran. A clip of strange lights in the sky above Tehran has passed 5.5M views, and so far nobody official has offered an explanation.
🦣 Frozen in Time. Gold miners in Canada's Yukon made a rare discovery in 2022: a preserved baby woolly mammoth that is still drawing crowds online.
🏎️ Car vs. Jet. The Italian Navy is planning an acceleration race between a Ferrari SF90 and an F-35B fighter jet.
🤩 Postcards From Mars. NASA has shared a fresh set of photos from the Martian surface, showing new views of the planet's surface.
☕ Coffee Lovers Rejoice. A Finnish study links five or more cups a day to health benefits (1.3M views). It shows a correlation, not proof, so keep the refills sensible.
PROJUKTI GOOD NEWS
A backpack that knows when you are sore. Researchers built a wearable backpack with electrodes that sense muscle fatigue and trigger a massage on the spot. In tests, it helped muscles recover better than heat therapy or a fixed massage routine.
Diagnosing CTE while patients are alive. Today, CTE can only be confirmed after death. Scientists are working on PET scans and blood tests that pick up abnormal tau protein, which could let doctors diagnose the condition in living patients.
