When people ask “Will AI take my job?”, they remind me of a Sioux tribesman in 1840 wondering if the white settlers would take his buffalo. The answer is “Yes, but you’re really asking the wrong question”. Noah Smith
The feature backlog has gone poof
Agents have improved dramatically in a year
To get better at writing, you need to write. The same goes for thinking
"One agent can work on a single codebase for hours, making real progress on ambitious projects. (..) Effectively using agents can be much more important than just throwing tokens at a problem" https://emsh.cat/one-human-one-agent-one-browser/

What makes strong engineers strong?
How good engineers write bad code at big companies
"it is now clear that for most projects, writing the code yourself is no longer sensible" Don't fall into the anti-AI hype
"When AI can generate (almost) anything, value is shifting to operations" AI is a business model stress test
The #1 predictor of a company succeeding is whether the quality of hires trends upwards over multiple years. Merely flat is already not great. Hire quality trending down is almost apocalyptically bad. Stay SaaSy

The bottleneck in your company is not having enough really really good people. If you want to win, get more really really good people. If you think you have really really good people but you’re not winning, I have bad news for you. Stay SaaSy
"Once software becomes non-trivial, progress is governed far more by other factors – such as understanding, decision-making, coordination and feedback – than by the rate at which code can be produced." Coding has never been the bottleneck
When AI writes almost all code, what happens to software engineering?
"The year when AI stopped being satellite, experimental tech and started being the mainstream, foundational technology. At least in the world of developer tools." 2025 was for AI what 2010 was for cloud
Writing is the hobby. Authoring is the profession. The only way I can stay in the writing zone and out of the authoring zone is to remind myself that nobody will ever read what I’m writing. Art, Money, and AI
If you want to be a leader, you have to act like one. Stay SaaSy
