AI tools are moving fast—from fancy autocomplete to fully autonomous development teams.
The real question isn’t whether to use AI, but how much autonomy to give it.
I put together a simple 0–5 model to describe these levels of autonomy in practice:

AI Levels of Autonomy in Software Engineering
AI tooling for software engineering has moved quickly from fancy autocomplete to the verge of fully autonomous engineering. Most people can see that AI adds value. The real question is no longer whether to use AI, but how much autonomy to give it.
Capability alone doesn’t justify maximising autonomy everywhere. You have to match autonomy to risk. This post defines a simple scale of autonomy levels and where I draw my own lines.

When will CSS Grid Lanes arrive? How long until we can use it?
Anytime an exciting new web technology starts to land in browsers, developers want to know “when in the world am I going to be able to use this?” Currently, the finalized syntax for Grid Lanes is available in Safari Technology Preview.
WebKitDon't underestimate the impact of compound interest, they said! In a game I'm creating, I added .5% interest per minute (per tick), and over 3 days 261 gold has become 707 billion gold! Now, how can I get those interest rates in real life?!
