Harness teams of coding agents with Squad
At Kubecon Europe recently, Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman said something that surprised me. After more than a year of AI-based pull requests and security reports that were worthless, living up to their nickname of “slop,” suddenly in the last month or so Kroah-Hartman discovered that those reports had become useful. At the time he didn’t know why, but guessed it was the result of improved tools and a deeper understanding of how to use them. Since then, of course, we’ve learned about Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and seen the resulting scramble across closed-source and open-source projects to patch the significant bugs and issues Mythos has unveiled. The fixes and updates needed by large projects can be managed by their equally large teams, with corporate input as well as volunteers from around the world. But how do smaller projects deal with the rise in reported critical vulnerabilities, when they’re usually run by one or two people, often working in their spare time? It’s a c
