Something Big Is Happening
A personal note for the non-tech people in my life on what AI is starting to change — why it's moving faster than you think, and what to do about it.
The AI Vampire
This was an unusually hard post to write, because it flies in the face of everything else going on.
Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
Announcing Entire with $60 million seed round and shipping our first product, called Checkpoints.
Qwen-Image-2.0: Professional infographics, exquisite photorealism
Qwen offers comprehensive functionality spanning chatbot, image and video understanding, image generation, document processing, web search integration, tool utilization, and artifacts.
Testing Ads in ChatGPT
OpenAI begins testing ads in ChatGPT to support free access, with clear labeling, answer independence, strong privacy protections, and user control.
Text classification with Python 3.14's ZSTD module
Python 3.14 added Zstandard to stdlib; its incremental API finally makes classify-by-compression practical.
AI makes the easy part easier and the hard part harder
AI handles writing code but leaves the hard work: investigation, context, validation. Why vibe coding has limits and AI assistance can backfire.
Stop generating, start thinking
Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.
AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it
You're using AI to be more productive. So why are you more exhausted than ever? The paradox every engineer needs to confront.
Eight more months of agents
I wrote up my experiences programming with LLMs a bit over a year ago , and updated it for the world of agents eight months ago . A lot has changed since then, so here is an update.
Slop Terrifies Me
What if this is as good as software is ever going to be? What if AI stops getting better and what if people stop caring?
Beyond agentic coding
AI dev tooling can do better than chat interfaces
How to effectively write quality code with AI
AI is rarely optional anymore, but how can you still be proud of your craft? Discover the workflow to effectively write high-quality, robust code using AI tools.
The Waymo World Model
We are excited to introduce the Waymo World Model, a frontier generative model that sets a new bar for large-scale, hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation.
LLMs could be, but shouldn't be compilers
I’ve been going round and round in my mind about a particular discussion around LLMs: are they really similar to compilers? Are we headed toward a world where people don’t look at the underlying code for their programs?
We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C Compiler
How a team of 16 parallel Claude agents wrote a Rust-based C compiler from scratch, capable of compiling the Linux kernel, and what it taught us.
My AI Adoption Journey
My experience adopting any meaningful tool is that I've necessarily gone through three phases: (1) a period of inefficiency (2) a period of adequacy, then finally (3) a period of workflow and life-altering discovery.
GPT-5.3-Codex
GPT-5.3-Codex is a Codex-native agent that pairs frontier coding performance with general reasoning to support long-horizon, real-world technical work.
Advancing finance with Claude Opus 4.6
With Claude Opus 4.6, finance teams get better reasoning on complex analyses, cleaner first-pass deliverables, and new tools built for where analysts actually spend their time.
Claude Opus 4.6
We're upgrading our smartest model. Across agentic coding, computer use, tool use, search, and finance, Opus 4.6 is an industry-leading model.
OpenAI Frontier
OpenAI Frontier is an enterprise platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents with shared context, onboarding, permissions, and governance.
OpenClaw is what Apple intelligence should have been
Something strange is happening with Mac Minis. They’re selling out everywhere, and it’s not because people suddenly need more coffee table computers. If you browse Reddit or HN, you’ll see the same pattern: people are buying Mac Minis specifically to run AI agents with computer use. They’re setting up headless…
Claude Composer
What happens when you ask Claude Code to compose music? Five experiments later: original songs, music videos, and a full album, all built from scratch.
AI is killing B2B SaaS
SaaS is the most profitable business model on Earth.1 It’s easy to understand why: build once, sell the same thing again ad infinitum, and don’t suffer any marginal costs on more sales. I have been writing software for more than half my life. In the last year itself, I’ve talked to hundreds of founders and operators…
