The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.
I see plenty of developers insisting AI coding tools are overhyped and error-prone.
But I’m also starting to see the opposite, people who’ve fully embraced them and now find they’re so good it’s triggering a real crisis of confidence.

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere.
From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.
We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.

Atmospheric Computing
Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.

Welcome to the Public Domain, THE PICNIC (1930) 🐕
🐾 Little Rover barked onto the scene as Minnie’s dog in THE PICNIC (1930). He’d get a new name (Pluto) & a new owner, Mickey Mouse, the following year.

Yeah, I'd be pretty furious if I got spam email from some "AI agent" thanking me for my contributions too
I dug into what happened here, turns out it's an experiment called "AI Village" which unleashes all sorts of other junk emails on the world: simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/...

Thinking more about the 11ty phenomena…
why am I seeing a giant profile photo grid of their 300+ contributors?
who is andy bell and why am I supposed to care that he says Jekyll is dead to him?
and then there are a dozen+ other testimonials from people I’ve never heard of

Picked out a static site generator for setting up a blog
I was surprised at the visceral gut + heart rxns I had to the project home pages
Many of them didn’t sit right with me. Feeling like Goldilocks over here!

Yes! They can do amazing things, but you cannot use them naïvely (note dieresis) and expect anything good. If you can provide them with invariants, ways to test those invariants, and understand how, eg, context windows impact state management, they're awesome.

One of the new skills required to get the most out of AI-assisted coding tools - Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc - is designing agentic loops: carefully selecting tools to run in a loop to achieve a specified goal. Do this well and you can solve many coding problems with brute force!

Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …

At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars...
Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

Hard to overstate how nice a communal lab space is for one-off projects
testing an output pin… oh, there’s a resistor I can use as a pulldown
trying to guess what size screw will fit the servo… oh, there’s a kit of M2-M4 sizes
