Let's not forget that the competitive race happened because of them. Most of the initial AI research from the past decade started with Google Deepmind. Elon Musk was invited for a preview of it and ended up spinning up OpenAI when De

I actually think everyone should still code a little. Maybe 30-60 minutes per day. While the majority of code is generated by agents, I've found that with even a little coding I catch stuff that I miss by just doing code reviews of a

While most of my coding is via LLMs now, I try to write code manually for about 30-60 minutes per day. I find not only does this keep it active but it allows me to discover things about the code that I end up missing by just reviewing LLM-

I agree. I speak from experience because I actually went down this path for about a month. It is tempting. However, what I realized after some reflection is that there are just so many decisions that need to be made along the course of d

In this last week I've started reviewing code more and in just a short time, I've found 3 fairly simple things that were introduced by Claude that were not wrong per se, however, they were very inefficient and didn't address

Hey just some feedback. I'm giving it a try on a new project I'm spinning up. It does seem faster although I haven't timed it against Claude or anything. I like the integrated browser to immediately see the changes (or see

I've been following Demis a lot over the past year and he's alluded to this in interviews that basically he'd rather be doing research than leading a team. I know a lot of people have tagged him for being the next CEO of Goog
