Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Ramp and Stripe built internal AI coding platforms that let non-engineers create tools using company data and design systems. Stripe's Harbor was built by one engineer in around six weeks, while creating a tool in Ramp's Glass is now part of new-hire onboarding. The appeal includes easier access to internal data, fewer vendor negotiations, and hands-on experience building AI infrastructure.
