Andrej Karpathy: "This is easily the biggest change in ~2 decades of programming and it happened over the course of a few weeks." "I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups." "I am bracing for 2026 as the

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is

Anthropic had 16 AI agents build a C compiler from scratch. 100k lines, compiles the Linux kernel, $20k, 2 weeks. To put that in perspective GCC took thousands of engineers over 37 years to build. (Granted from 1987 - however) One researcher and 16 AI agents just built a

Marc Andreessen: AI coding doesn’t eliminate programmers — it redefines them. The job is no longer typing code line by line, it’s orchestrating 10 coding bots in parallel, arguing with them, debugging their output, changing the spec, and pushing them toward the right result. But

Software development is undergoing a renaissance in front of our eyes. If you haven't used the tools recently, you likely are underestimating what you're missing. Since December, there's been a step function improvement in what tools like Codex can do. Some great engineers at

Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger says that Claude is now effectively writing itself Engineers regularly ship 2–3,000-line pull requests generated entirely by Claude Dario predicted a year ago that 90% of code would be written by AI, and people thought it was crazy "today it's

Everyone’s reading this as the beginning of the end for software engineers. The opposite is happening at the company saying it. Anthropic had 240 employees in 2023. Today they have over 4,000, with 392 open roles, plans to triple their international headcount, and they’re

NASA writes mission-critical flight software in C. And the rules are absolutely INSANE. > No recursion. Ever. > Every loop must have a provable upper bound. > No dynamic memory allocation after initialization. > Max ~60 lines per function. > Minimum 2 assertions per

My biggest takeaways from Sherwin Wu: 1. AI is writing virtually all code at OpenAI. 95% of the engineers use Codex, and engineers who embrace these tools open 70% more pull requests than their peers, and that gap is widening over time. 2. The role of a software engineer is

Brex hired 900 people in 2021-2022. They took pay cuts for equity. Options struck at $8-10/share. Exit price: ~$5/share. 4 years of work. Zero equity value. This is the 409A trap nobody explains in the offer letter. If you're taking a startup job for equity, ask what happens

In 10 years, there will be two classes of people. Economists call it the "K-shaped economy" - and the next 2-3 years will decide which line you're on. • An overclass that uses AI as a lever to build wealth, automate income, and make decisions at a speed no human can compete

Appropriate reaction from my brother, a Senior SWE at Meta, who just got access to frontier AI coding tools. If you’ve used them every day for the last few years, progress might feel more gradual. If you go from nothing → Codex / Cursor / Claude Code overnight… that jump

A $240B company just reversed its own AI workforce thesis in under three years. May 2023: IBM CEO Arvind Krishna tells Bloomberg he’ll replace 7,800 jobs with AI. Freezes back-office hiring. 30% of 26,000 non-customer-facing roles, automated within five years. February 2026:

It's happening everywhere: roadmaps that stretch out for 2 years are getting done in a matter of months. This is the new normal. Software is going to get so much better from here. Except Apple. I think their software is still going to be mediocre.

It's probably accelerating from here. More code, more software engineers. More apps, more SaaS usage and revenue. More cloud consumption. And a whole lot of tokens through it all. If the cost of hiring software engineers was previously a bottleneck on software deployment, then

Jevon's Paradox. Make it cheaper. We want more. Never let the truth get in the way of idiotic stories told by autistic AI execs.

New in Claude Code: Remote Control. Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting. Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or claude.ai/code

The best developers in the world are about to stop writing code entirely. And the ones who figure that out first will leave everyone else behind permanently. Anthropic’s Boris Cherny just revealed how their engineering team is actually shipping software right now. Cherny: “Our

It appears I called the bottom. Software engineer job postings are up massively YoY, while overall job postings went down. I said it in May 2025 and I'll say it again: I've never been more bullish on software engineering as a profession. But at that time (and still today!), many

This is counterintuitive for some, which is why there’s a paradox named after it. But if you lower the cost of something that was previously supply constrained, demand for that thing goes up. Software engineering is just one of the easiest examples to contemplate. The process
