I Asked for the Whole Quote PDF Tool at Once, Then Split It Into Four Requests
How I moved my client quote paperwork from copy-and-edit to a small PDF tool built with Antigravity, why the first single-shot request had to be thrown away, and the four smaller requests that replaced it, with working code.
How much of Antigravity's generated commit message I actually keep
Where the Review pane's generated commit message stops being enough, and where I start writing. A prepare-commit-msg hook that adds a Why trailer, plus measured behaviour during rebase, cherry-pick and revert.
Turn Off the Liquid Glass Compatibility Flag Yourself, Before Xcode 27 Does It for You
UIDesignRequiresCompatibility is expected to be ignored in Xcode 27. Flip it to false yourself and you can rehearse next year's forced appearance today, on the SDK you already have. Here is what actually broke in my wallpaper apps, and the order I checked things in.
When a Subagent Never Finishes, Look at the Parent's Unapproved Artifacts First
A subagent that runs all night and never returns is usually not the one that is stuck. Here is how I separate a blocked parent from a blocked child using a short log-scanning script, where the new always proceeds mode helps, and where I stop letting approvals happen automatically.
When a Fast Model Feels Slow, Look at Reasoning Effort Before Switching Models
Antigravity lets you pick a reasoning effort level per model. Here is how I decide between Low, Medium, and High based on the shape of the task, what to check when changing it makes no difference, and a small script for correcting your own judgment with records instead of memory.
I Copied the Same agent.md Into Another Repo and It Quietly Did a Different Job
CLI 1.1.6 lets you carry agent definitions around as files. I dropped one definition into eight repos, built a preflight that resolves its declared capabilities before the agent runs, and measured it against a naive checker.
Is the $100 AI Ultra Tier Worth It Solo? Measure the Break-Even from Limits and Parallelism
Whether the $100/month AI Ultra tier (5x the Pro limit) is worth it for an indie developer, framed as a break-even from how often you hit the cap and the effective throughput of parallel agents, with a calculator script.
How Far Can Antigravity Maintain a Decade-Old App? An Indie Developer's Field Test
I have run wallpaper and wellness apps as an indie developer since 2014. Here is what Antigravity could and could not take over when I let it maintain that codebase, with the boundary lines I drew.
Wiring Next.js + Supabase + Stripe Subscriptions with Antigravity — What I Delegated and What I Wrote by Hand
A working record of letting Antigravity agents build the Next.js and Supabase foundation while writing the Stripe Checkout and webhook layer by hand. Covers signature verification, idempotency, and the metadata handoff that quietly breaks generated payment code.
Which Device Gets the iOS 27 Public Beta? Choosing a Test Phone When There's No Way Back
The iOS 27 public beta arrived on July 13 carrying the same build number as developer beta 3. Starting from that one detail, here is how I decide which device gets it, what to archive first, and where to look in my own app.
The Scarier Permission Was Reach, Not Write: Locking an Agent's Outbound Traffic to an Allowlist
When I hand real work to an agent, the thing I guard most isn't file edits, it's where it connects. Here is an 80-line deny-by-default egress gate, plus what 21 nights of unattended runs revealed about the traffic I never saw.
Systematize Pre-Release Checks for Sound-Playing Apps with Waveform Rendering and Agents
The 6/26 update let Antigravity render audio files. Drawing on years of shipping sound in healing apps, here is a design that folds loudness, clipping, length, and silence checks into an agent verification loop, with the actual scripts.
