I honestly don’t care at all that I spend 30 years of my life learning syntax and now that knowledge is essentially useless.
Frankly, I’m relieved that I don’t need to care about it anymore. That stuff never really mattered anyways. Code was always just a means to an end.
All I care about is building products that users love. Now I can do that faster. That means I can have bigger impact.
If anything, software engineers should all be celebrating. I don’t understand why you’d “mourn” not needing to write code. The code was never the point.

I think AI will create a new category of technical debt:
Code nobody on the team truly understands because it was generated, reviewed quickly, and merged because it worked.
Six months later:
“Why does this function exist?”
Nobody knows.

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other.
Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

software engineering craftsmanship is dying in front of our eyes. writing beautiful code, a nicely crafted library, or designed framework do not matter anymore. there will be nobody that appreciates the code, nobody even understanding it. is the status quo now frozen or what is the incentive to go the extra mile to create the next beautiful library?

🇺🇸Jews are only 2.4% of the US population, yet 69% of US religious hate crimes target Jews
🇬🇧Jews are only .5% of the UK population, yet 29% of US religious hate crimes target Jews
🇨🇦Jews are only 1% of the Canadian population, yet 71% of all religious hate crimes target Jews
🇦🇺Jews are only .5% of the Australian population, yet 14% of all religious hate crimes target Jews
Jews are targeted disproportionately all over the world. The silence enabling it is disproportional, too.

Israel's per capita GDP surpasses England and France.
As AI deployment continues, it will be among the top 5.
There is no stopping the people who build.

If Iran is demanding a ceasefire for Hezbollah, it's because it will continue to finance terrorism. It means the job isn't done.

The Iranian regime is calling on children and to act as human shields around power plants. Copying the Hamas playbook.
