AI has torched the market for junior programmers
Junior programmers are getting destroyed by AI — down 19%, while devs over 40 thrive. Meanwhile, millions of non-developers are shipping real software without the job title. The credential market collapsed; the activity exploded. The problem: nobody's building the next generation of senior engineers.

Agentic coding notes
I've been using AI fairly heavily since last November and the whole thing is a funny experience . An agent will do something that, if a human did it, you'd immediately fire them. My reaction, of course, is to act as if this is great and spin up a thousand agents so they can do even more of that.

No LLM Code in Dependencies
I've spent about 100 hours of work over the past month to make sure git-annex can build without dependencies that contain LLM generated code. At least so far.

From brain waves to words: a new path to communication without surgery
Last year, we introduced Brain2Qwerty v1, research that uses AI to decode brain activity into text without any surgical implant. Now we're sharing the next step: Brain2Qwerty v2, the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from non-invasive brain recordings, approaching levels of…

Zluda 6 release (run unmodified CUDA applications on non-Nvidia GPUs)
Hi, and welcome to the latest ZLUDA update! Since I skipped the last update, this special issue covers all the developments made in ZLUDA since the start of the year. We now have two new major workloads: PhysX ( PhysX pre-alpha ) and Blender ( Textures support ). Much of this overlaps with Much improved Windows…

Reflections on software engineering in the age of AI
For those of you who don’t know, when I’m not writing novels, I spend my days as a software engineer, writing code. The software industry these days relies heavily on artificial intelligence. Because it has studied trillions of lines of publicly accessible source code, because code solves problems with testable right…

The best response to AI slop and online noise is from Robin Williams
There's a moment in the movie Good Will Hunting which perfectly summarizes all the problems with AI slop and online noise and infinite advice content. Sean (played by Robin Williams) is sitting next to Will (Matt Damon) on a bench in Boston Public Garden. I live here, so I know it well. The area
