"But while copyleft liberated the source code, it failed to liberate all the users. The right to fix a bug or add a feature is a hollow freedom if you lack the elite, scarce knowledge required to speak the language of machines."
"The 'tyranny of the vendor' is finally meeting its match, not in a courtroom, but in the prompt."

Andrej Karpathy's 630-line Python script ran 50 experiments overnight without any human input.
"In February 2026, we returned, not to memorialize the past, but to confront a new inflection point: the shift to AI-native software development. Hosted by Martin Fowler and Thoughtworks, the event brought together a small group of practitioners, researchers and enterprise leaders to ask what responsible and effective software development looks like in an era defined by AI."

Tomasz Tunguz burned 84 million tokens on February 28th.
"This week, Alibaba released Qwen3.5-9B, an open-source model that matches Claude Opus 4.1 from December 2025. It runs locally on 12GB of RAM. Three months ago, this capability required a data center. Now it requires a power outlet."

"The first generation was accelerated autocomplete."
"The second generation introduced synchronous agents."
"The third generation introduced autonomous agents. These agents ..."
"You are building the factory that builds your software."
I'm still on "second generation". Am I falling behind?
"That's why we open-sourced the Infrastructure Agents Guide -- 13 chapters covering architecture, sandboxing, credentials, change control, observability, policy guardrails, and more."
There's a lot to read here, and I've just started. Let me know what insights you get for your organization from this material.

The industry is adopting AI for infrastructure at wildly different speeds. The architectural guidance hasn't kept up with any of them. We talk to infrastructure teams every week. The spectrum of where they are with AI is striking. Some are still in copilot mode — autocomplete for Terraform, AI-assisted PR descriptions,
"Forty-four thousand developers don't click a star button by accident. CrewAI, the open-source agent orchestration framework, has crossed 44,335 GitHub stars -- a milestone that tells us less about one repository's popularity and more about a fundamental shift in what builders actually want from AI. They're done tinkering with solo agents. They want crews."

Peter Norvig used Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to solve all the 2025 Advent of Code (AoC) puzzles.
"Overall, the LLMs did very well, producing code that gives the correct answer to every puzzle."
"I'm beginning to think I should use an LLM as an assistant for all my coding, not just as an experiment like this."`
