You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.
I strongly disagree! We’re watching this play out live where tons of AI generated code becomes a liability.
At the end of the day, an engineer needs to be responsible / on call for code that gets shipped to production. If you don’t understand the system you’re trying to debug, you’re probably going to have a bad time.
Yes, AI can help with all of this, if you set up the proper systems. You can have agents triage prod logs, look at errors, etc. You can speed up parts of the investigation, but an engineer needs to make the call. There might be serious customer or financial implications from that change.
I expect the trend continue for trimming dependencies, vendoring code so you can modify it directly, preferring simpler systems with fewer abstractions, and spending waaaay more time thinking about system design and code maintenance.
I’ve said this before, but it’s a great time to get familiar with CS fundamentals and some of the history behind what great software looks like. Many parts will be different in the coming years as AI progresses, but also a lot more than people realize will stay the same.
CumBench v1.0 results are in.
Gemini 3.5 Flash ranks #1 on the CumBench benchmark, outperforming much larger models a whole size above it in real-world finish quality.
The gap is honestly staggering.

@thsottiaux@thsottiaux Did the latest Codex app update remove the branch selector from the message box? If so could we please get an option to add it back or customise what's displayed here - really liked it there to check what branch I'm on :(
@AlekPerak@_philschmid@googlehealth from what i've read you can only access _historical_ data as soon as it syncs - think of google health as a data source you can query
although if it supports broadcasting hr via ble, could be possible to knock something up (not sure if it does though)
