But isn't it only a matter of time before the AI generated autocomplete will contain the correct solution? What then?

I don't think pg is giving advice on what will lead most directly to a job, but rather what is the best learning for a 17yo. A 17yo who trains their own LLM will have a much richer understanding of what AI is, how it works, what its po

Quality and speed are not diametrically opposed. A great engineer does well on both axes by building the minimal thing needed now in a way that is easy to extend in the future. I have also seen projects go badly because the eng was trying t

I’m curious about this scale vs speed distinction. Every codebase includes parts that are more experimental, and parts that are more core. My sense is that AI can help on both of these fronts (I.e building rapid prototypes on the fringes an

Engineers seem to think business people don’t know what they are doing, but if your post were true, then companies would add slack to outperform their competitors. The broken system likely doesn’t have enough business impact to justify the

My prediction is that we'll start to see a whole new layer of abstraction to help us write high quality code with LLMs - meaning new programming languages, new toolchains, stricter typechecking, in-built feedback loops etc. The slop we

People were saying the same last year, and then Anthropic launched Claude Code which is already at a $2.5B revenue run rate. LLMs are useful and these companies will continue to find ways to capture some of the value they are creating.

I was wondering this too. I assume it’s because child care costs are lower when one parent isn’t working(?)

They also did an MRI scan on Honnold and found that he doesn't have the usual fear response. It's not clear if this was trained away, or if it's something innate. https://nautil.us/the-strange-brain-of-the-wor

It seems like the biggest downside of this world is iteration speed. If the AT instagram wants to add a new feature (i.e posts now support video!) then can they easily update their "file format"? How do they update it in a way tha

I enjoyed hearing Claude Code creator Boris Cherny talk about "latent demand"[0], which is when users start using your product for something it was not intended for. When that happens, it's a great signal that you should go b

Claude can also write and debug tailwind for you! :)

by ahussain 8mo ago
It’s more about cognitive load, and abstraction level. If you’re trying to make an object spin, it’s much easier to use the tailwind class than it is to remember css keyframes. Sure, when debugging a complex issue, it’s worth knowing the lo

by ahussain 8mo ago
People like tailwind because it feels like the correct abstraction. It helps you colocate layout and styling, thereby reducing cognitive load. With CSS you have to add meaningless class names to your html (+remember them), learn complicated

Agentic AI companies are doing millions in revenue. Just because agents haven’t spread to the entire economy yet doesn’t mean they are not useful for relatively complex tasks.

A philosophy of software design by John Ousterhout is the best software book I have read. But, from your post it’s not clear specifically what you are looking for. If you think you will level up by learning how to apply numerical modelling

I think this is a huge use case for vibe coding, and something I’m excited to do more in 2026. There are so many apps I want, that companies are not incentivised to build for me.

I'd bet a lot of people are trying to optimize their codebases for LLMs. I'd be interested to see some examples of your ASI-unlocking codebase in action!

Yeah it's not clear to me how many of his shares he sold but it seemed to be a substantial chunk. The board seemed to be pretty anti-Amelio already so it wasn't clear to my why Steve _needed_ to sell these shares.

It seems like agentic browsers will develop aa new set of core primitives (e.g. always ask for manual approval when spending money), and this flavor of security vulnerability will go away. Web browsers didn't begin with the same levels

I fully agree. I for one am excited about a future in which we can take on bigger challenges. With (good) LLMs, we won't need to spend as much time thinking about "how" to get things done, and can spend more time lucidly deci

by ahussain 1y ago
If anything, with the right tooling LLMs should improve the quality of our thinking. For example, how much better would your thinking be if you could ask the LLM to reliably figure out all the 2nd and 3rd effects of your ideas, or to identi

I'm pretty sure the job offer requirement is still in effect, and will remain in effect, since the O is an employment-based visa. What made you think it had changed?
