This is the future of programming.

Doing a lot of prompting strategies and ending in a basic "my app is not shown" support case.

Because this is what the deep level of knowledge we will have "it doesn#t work -> FIX IT!"...

I'm bullish on AI-assisted but not AI-driven. Not now. Maybe in a decade

Seems like 7hours of sleep is my new sweet spot.

So if 1/3 managers want AI instead of GenZ hire, I guess they don’t want to deal with people, what makes these managers think they are needed?

Maybe it’s not AI doing all the coding soon but India Tech Hubs?

Thanks to full remote work, companies realized they can outsource whole tech departments/units.

Can anyone tell me what is the crazy MCP use cases people use?

I get the „this is an amazing standard replacing the need for any middleware“ + Cloudflare saying you can bunch of MCP servers on the edge, literally no need for Backends much.

But where are the deep dives?

Is it just me or did the whole US „Trumpcession“ x Nazi Symbolik Elon x „more masculinity“ Zuck destroyed Social Media?

I‘m basically exhausted of shitshow, toxic communication on most platforms.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Crazy one a bunch if idiots are moving whole political conversation because shit talking „the others“ is always so much easier.

Interestingly, it happens close to elections 🤷🏽‍♂️

To quote advertisers

„You’re buying insurance, you’re not buying advertising,” said Lou Paskalis, an ad industry veteran and chief executive officer of the consulting firm AJL Advisory.

So if you don’t buy ads at X you are going to get problems with Elon.

When did society moved back to bullying?

Looks like Low-Code/No-Codes are either moving to „Agentic AI“ bla or likely close business at one point.

Oh look there is data showing what layoffs do with employees 24+ months after it.

Imagine this: 2 years after layoffs it still has negative impact.

So when you constantly do them What does it tell about culture? …

So Everyone:

2024 desth of Junior
2025 death of mid
2016+ death of senior ?

I don’t believe in it on short-term 😅

Yet unbelievable how companies are pushing for getting rid of expensive engineering salaries.

The faster the better…

Here's a quick piece I wrote up on how to understand DOGE as a very blatant attempt at procurement capture, a simple way of making government spending corrupt to benefit the tycoons. Please do pass it along & share any feedback! www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D... (Thx for the nudge to write it!)

Coding Katas will be most underrated thing in 2025+.

Similiar, to Architecture Katas.

AI Coding Tools or Agents won’t work 100% correct, heck not even close to 50%.

So how you gonna go out and fix something you prompted?

So being able to jump in, trained like pilots👨‍✈️.
