gpt planning + @cursor_ai composer 2.5 execution workflow is literally a cheat code and almost too good to be true: fast, cheap and gets the work done!

Tactical vs Strategic Programming, and why I'm nervous for juniors:

Good programming involves a mix of tactical and strategic decision-making:

- Tactical: on the ground, short-term. The soldier doing the fighting.
- Strategic: high-view, long-term. The general planning the war.

You need to be a tactician to write good code. To choose the right syntax. To figure out the file structure. To figure out how best to test your changes.

But you need to be a strategist to build code that lasts. To design the architecture. To automate away problems. To think beyond today.

Agents have eaten the tactical part of programming. When you can pay below minimum wage for code, there's no point going into the trenches yourself.

But AI cannot code strategically. Agents need someone at the top of the pyramid to tell them what to do. They need oversight.

So, a developer's day-to-day job has become 100% strategy. Long-term thinking, all the time. (maybe this is why I'm so tired all the time now)

If you identify as a tactical programmer - a code monkey - then you are out of luck. The job has changed.

Personally, I like it. I always preferred thinking strategically about code. If you asked me what my job was about, I'd say 'building apps', not 'writing code'.

But what makes me nervous is that we've pulled down the only bridge that brought juniors into the industry.

We used to train juniors like this:

1. Give them only tactical tasks
2. Let them build up their strategic experience slowly

Eventually, they are a good enough strategist that they are no longer a junior.

But what happens when all tactical code is written by AI? What is the point of a junior?

We obviously need juniors. We need new lifeblood coming into the industry. We need to leave paths open for extraordinary hires to enrich our companies.

But how do we train them? How do you train strategic thinking?

These are the questions I'm thinking about. I'd love to know your thoughts.

In the latest `swr@beta`, you can seamlessly move data fetching between client-side and server-side, or both, in an RSC framework like Next.js:

🔸Client only: useSWR(key, fetcher)
🔹Mixed: useSWR(key, fetcher) + RSC-provided data
🔸Server only: useSWR(key) + RSC-provided data

WATCH: The UP Not For Sale Network and UP Diliman University Student Council led a snake rally through Area 2 to protest the clearing operation conducted in the area earlier today.

#UPNotForSale

[Jay. 🚀👨‍🔬👨‍🏫🚴‍♂️ @space_racer]

J.P. Laurel St. in Area 2 has always been an informal pedestrianized zone where students, staff, and outside visitors come to eat.

Chances are, these clearing operations are to cater to

you guessed it

cars.

Again.
