Every time we've made it easier to write software, we've ended up writing exponentially more of it. When high-level languages replaced assembly, programmers didn't write less code - they wrote orders of magnitude more, tackling problems that would have been economically

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

👀 weekend commentary on HackerNewss about X being "just a wrapper around Y"

Andrej Karpathy As always, a very thoughtful and well reasoned take. I read till the end. I think the Claude Code team itself might be an indicator of where things are headed. We have directional answers for some (not all) of the prompts: 1. We hire mostly generalists. We have a mix of senior

If RAG is dead, what will replace it?

If you are considering taking a job offer, you may want to ask what your token budget will be.

We’re excited to introduce the Waymo World Model—a frontier generative mode for large-scale, hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation built on Google DeepMind’s Genie 3. By simulating the “impossible”, we proactively prepare the Waymo Driver for some of the most rare and

Really one of my favorite features in X too!

"I am the bottleneck now" Few more thoughts

Gave Gemini 3 Deep Think an image of a 3D spider web and asked for an interactive design tool. It generated a full design suite (procedural control, simulation, optimization) with STL export capability. I used it to engineer new metamaterials and a spider-web inspired bridge

It's like they invented the Star Trek replicator, but for code, and 1% of people are using it

i think this is fundamentally wrong take none of the apps I use satisfy me 100%. Some are 80% fit, and others are way below. Now, there will be 1000 versions of each tool, so that chance of me finding the one that's perfect for my case grows, so the "winner takes it all" will

your timeline convinced you AI is in a bubble. talk to a boomer above the age 35 for 5 minutes. most people don’t even know what claude is.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ kind of wild when you zoom out.
