You learn that vendors oversell. That leadership wants results yesterday. That the breathless predictions almost never land on the calendar that everyone promised. So you learn to discount the hype.And that reflex, the one thing that five shifts trained into me, is the thing I’d warn other veterans about right now.The hype curve lies in both directions. Everyone knows it…

Terminal-based coding assistants for AI-curious developers are hot these days, and the most popular choice appears to be Claude Code. But Anthropic’s commercial offering has a new open source rival: MiMo Code, released under an MIT license by Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi. Unlike Claude Code, MiMo Code is not restricted to a specific LLM provider. It was also optimized for “long-horizon automated programming tasks,” according to the introductory blog entry. The software aims to “maintain decision quality and state continuity over dozens or even hundreds of execution steps.”The AI community has taken notice of this release. Since its v0.1 release last…
