AI Didn't Break the Senior Engineer Pipeline. It Showed That One Never Existed.

"The organizations that figure this out will develop stronger engineers faster than ever, because AI is a powerful tool for deliberate development when someone is actually steering it. The ones that don’t will produce a generation of engineers who can ship features with AI assistance but can’t independently reason about hard problems. The difference won’t show up on a quarterly roadmap. It will show up the first time something goes seriously wrong and someone needs to think their way out of it..."

Why craft-lovers are losing their craft — Hong Minhee on Things

"One caveat matters here. The tension between craft and efficiency doesn't disappear if you remove capitalism from the picture. LLM coding assistants produce faster results whether anyone is being paid or not, and any community, however it's organized, will eventually have to reckon with what to do with that speed difference. Capitalism gives the harshest possible answer to that question: the slower worker loses their livelihood. But the question itself would survive capitalism. Other forms of..."

🚨BREAKING: #Codegen doesn't magically turn you into a coding wizard 🧙‍♂️! Despite the endless bragging about #AI spitting out code like it's the new gold rush, measuring #productivity by counting lines is like measuring a chef's skill by the number of carrots they chop 🥕✂️. Spoiler: More code ≠ more productivity; it's just more code. 🙄

Silicon Valley Abuzz About Adding AI Compute to Engineer Compensation - Business Insider

"With Levels.fyi pegging the 75th percentile software engineer salary at $375,000, Tunguz estimates that adding $100,000 in annual inference costs brings the fully loaded cost to $475,000 — meaning just over 20% of the compensation cost could come from AI usage in the future."

Run prompts on a schedule - Claude Code Docs

"Scheduled tasks let Claude re-run a prompt automatically on an interval. Use them to poll a deployment, babysit a PR, check back on a long-running build, or remind yourself to do something later in the session."

AI should help us produce better code - Agentic Engineering Patterns - Simon Willison's Weblog

"If adopting coding agents demonstrably reduces the quality of the code and features you are producing, you should address that problem directly: figure out which aspects of your process are hurting the quality of your output and fix them."
