Software engineering isn't going away because engineering is mostly about about picking the next big unsolved puzzle and solving it. Software engineers are some of the most versatile problem solvers.

Considering moving HoloStore tooling away from Rust because god damn these compile times are getting soooooo bad. The more Rust I build the longer everything takes. Keep HoloStore rust and tools something else? Rust is not meant for automated coding. It just doesn’t shine.

Contributor Poker and Zig's AI Ban kristoff.it/blog/contribut…

The Zig project's rationale for their blanket ban on AI-assisted contributions makes a lot of sense to me - for them, time spent reviewing PRs isn't about the code, it's about growing new contributors for the future of the project simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/30/zi…

Go provides lightweight threads and a variety of synchronization capabilities as core language features for convenience and a unified library space. Go never claimed that concurrency is easy.

How we prompt AI is very different in 2026 than 2022 when ChatGPT came out. I'm teaching a new course, AI Prompting for Everyone, to help you become an AI power user — whatever your current skill level. It covers skills that apply across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI

Last week, we made Gemini Embedding 2, our first natively multimodal embedding model, available to the general public. Since then, developers have used it to build video analysis tools, visual shopping assistants, and more. But you might be wondering... what is an embedding

Notebooks in Google Gemini are officially available to Free and Paid users on mobile! 🥳 (Coming soon to additional countries in Europe!)

Everybody is adding a feature where you can manage your agents from your phone. Don't use it. You'll just get even more addicted, and will burn out even quicker.

Adding agents to a late software project makes it later. (Fred Brooks’ observation, revised.)

Writing code is cheap Maintaining code is not cheap Anyone who's hired an external contractor knows this

Go is not bad at concurrency. A more factual take is Go is excellent at making concurrency cheap, explicit, and approachable (and approachable, and approachable), especially for common backend patterns. But Go gives you relatively low-level primitives, a lot of correctness

I write books so that I understand. If other people find value in reading what I have written, then all the better.

Spec-driven development makes very little sense to me. The software development industry has repeatedly shown that devs don't like writing docs, often saying "it's tedious and time-consuming; I'd rather be coding". - How will this turn out to be different? - Why automate the

As an engineer, you should have some depth. AI will probably help you if you let it. Here is how the story of progress goes in people’s minds. Our ancestors coded in machine language, then in assembler, then in C, then in C#, then in JavaScript. And now we prompt Claude. Each

Sure looks like Bun is at least exploring a port from Zig to Rust given this docs/PORTING.md guide for coding agents github.com/oven-sh/bun/bl…

Zig has been great for Bun. This branch is a fun experiment, and not a decision - here’s what I wrote on HN:

FP folks -- please encourage recently completed PhD students to publish their dissertation abstracts in the Journal of Functional Programming: simple process, no refereeing, open access, 200+ published to date, deadline 31st May 2026. Please share! tinyurl.com/jfp-phd-abstra…
