This is an absolutely beautiful, glorious description of the products in our lives. The things that once were simple tools that met needs, now demand relationships, have opinions, and occupy cycles of our lives.

If there’s a lot going on in your head this week, I hope you can find time for a walk in a strong wind to blow your worries away.

I see some people pushing back against it and it reminds me that I was part of the generation who first learned Java in college instead of assembly. There were similar concerns that we would be deficient as computer scientists. It hasn’t hurt my career. I expect the same will happen here.

A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning | Discussion

In an ironic twist, AI is disrupting tech the most. Hardware prices are surging as AI data centers buy up all the RAM, SaaS stocks are sinking over threats from vibe-coded alternatives and AI agents, and AI productivity job cuts are hitting tech hardest. The tech industry is cannibalizing itself.

YouTube has removed "sort by date" in search results. Here's why that's "platform enshittification" (© @doctorow.pluralistic.net) the recurring process of 1. Lock in users with good service 2. Exploit your monopoly for advert £$€ 3. Chase profit so hard that your platform becomes bad for everyone

p5 compute shader update! editor.p5js.org/davepagurek/... You can now work with objects in your compute shader, e.g.: const particleData = uniformStorage(particles); const idx = iteration.index.x; let pos = particleData[idx].position; let vel = particleData[idx].velocity; pos += vel * deltaTime;

The Mrs Fractal: Mirror, Rotate, Scale | Discussion

This to me is the trillion dollar question. The software industry has felt like a perfect fit to be disrupted by AI Agents like Claude Code including for reasons such as the vast amount of free training data on GitHub and Stack Overflow. What’s not clear is if this applies broadly to other fields.

I recently commented at work that it’s now faster to build a feature than it is to get time on people’s calendars to discuss it. I’m slowly facing the reality that almost all of professional software development has to be reimagined in a world where execution is essentially free. Wild times!

You Hired the AI to Write the Tests. Of Course They Pass | Discussion

After several outages due to junior engineers pushing AI-generated code, Amazon is requiring senior engineers to sign off on them going forward. History has taught us bugs scale linearly with lines of code. So if you ship 2x or 10x the amount of code, you will have that much of an increase in bugs.

Thanks to Claude Code, it’s no longer a question of whether AI productivity gains exist for building software or not. The questions are now more how do we structure job roles & companies given these gains and what will be the impact on tech workers? This is what’s top of mind for me.

This is where my opinion has landed as well. Most of the “typing” is done by LLMs for my own code these days, but I’m still in my IDE, reading, watching the diffs go by, interrupting to tell it to do something differently, refactoring regularly to make sure the code is legible.

This is a fascinating tool! I just went through the exercise, and the personalized report at the end was really thought provoking. eyeson-ai.org

I have a friend who’s argued AI tools will let tech companies do more with fewer people, but pay them more as revenue per employee rises. I was skeptical, but Block laying off 40% of its staff and giving the remaining employees a 75% raise has given me second thoughts.

With the rising cost of silver, I’m transitioning most of my stainless pendants to stainless steel chains. It gave me an excuse to spend a nice afternoon re-photographing them.
