What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

The most impactful line that he delivered on screen imo. So applicable to all facets of life.

It’s kinda crazy to me that we melt sand down, clean it to 99.99999% purity, literal wizards have to draw it slowly into an ingot, we cut it, inscribe a hundred billion little on/off switches on it, and when you run electric current through it you can do basic arithmetic, which when you do enough of it can do any math on the planet, and which describes reality well enough that we can teach it the ontological meaning of words and their distance from each other on a high-dimensional space, and if you ask, it can tell you what word comes next and that apparently is powerful enough that if you do it a hundred billion times it’s the smartest thing to ever exist oh yeah and we use this primarily for email

I was reading a book to my 3 year old son and there was a picture of a cat ice skating and he told me he thinks it's AI 😭

GM Reminder, it's just money.

The good thing about a duopoly is they push each other to add new features

ah yes, cloudflare.. > 10 million free worker requests a month > 10gb of free R2 storage > 1 million free writes > 10 million free reads > zero R2 egress fees > free cdn > free ssl > unmetered ddos protection. > waf included > absurdly good caching > dns so fast half the internet uses it but yes x taking on the real issue today the landing page for a free localhost tunnel looks sloppy

Coding with AI made me busier and less busy at the same time. On one hand, waiting for something to be built and usage limits forces me to take breaks. Although I find myself wanting to take advantage of usage limits by starting things in the evening and after hours

How we feel about AI now is how we were all hoping crypto would have PMF by now

Now I'm only buying domain names after I built the project

Software abundance: a brain dump on the state of the job market and the software industry. My feelings have swung between optimism and pessimism over the past ~8 or so months, and have ultimately landed on the extreme end of optimism / positivity, I'll try to explain why. I've thought about this a lot. In November 2025 if you were a software engineer and tried Opus 4.5, you knew it was basically "over", or you were in denial that it was over. Over in the sense of our identities as programmers no longer was going to mean what it used to mean, typing code etc.. "does this mean less demand for what I do since more people can do it, will I be valued less, will the cost of software go to zero..." In terms of the software job market, a large portion of it is booming. Many companies are being born, exploding in value, revenue, and hiring. People who became AI pilled in their approach to software engineering have done extremely well, those who haven't have not. People who have pivoted into new and fast growing verticals, companies, products enabled by AI have done well, people who stuck with larger teams / companies that either are moving slowly or are being disrupted have had a hard time or are being laid off. People who still distinctly identify as a "frontend / backend / etc.." have had a harder time than people who have said fuck it and 10xed themselves by leaning harder into AI and objectively broadening their skillset + what they bring to the table. It's crazy that I can talk to someone with the former mindset and it's doom and gloom while people in the latter literally are making more than they ever have, along with more opportunities than they have ever had. My craziest realization though is more around the state of the software industry and software abundance. Since joining @cognition I've realized Jevons paradox is real and it's incredible to see. The number of software companies is exploding, the amount of software being shipped is exploding (teams we work with regularly 10-20x their shipped PRs), the number of people starting to write software is exploding. I've also realized that just because code is easier and faster to write, good software is still hard to get right, needs care, and requires good judgement. AI allows you to ship 20x more code, but so can your competition. So while the software industry has always moved quickly, it continues to accelerate with AI. Our roadmaps just get larger, our bar is higher, the quality of the software we ship is better. I was scared that the craft of building software was going away, but I've realized it's actually the opposite. The majority of what I'm seeing automated is the type of work that engineers hate - fixing bugs, doing migrations, upgrading dependencies, repeatable tasks. Agents are *very good* at this type of work. What agents still lack is the judgement, curiosity, context, and taste of a human plugged into to the outside world. So as we automate the work we don't enjoy, we're getting more time to experiment, innovate, and get back to doing the type of work we love the most, why most of us began programming in the first place. I'm at a place where I'm more excited and optimistic than I have been in my ~14 year career.

When you're planning in Claude, but not enough tokens to make it. When your CLI asks for permission, when you already gave it. Isn't it ironic
