Pixels, bits, and atoms.

As a senior software engineer, I can tell you that we’ve crossed a threshold in the last six months with Gemini 2.5, GPT-5, and more recently, Sonnet 4.5.

I don’t really code anymore. I prompt and supervise.

I’m still needed, because the AI can drift into strange tangents. But with the right scaffolding and rules in place, Sonnet 4.5 has become an excellent coder. Work that used to take me weeks or months now gets done in hours.

@ericmigi Glad I hung on to these.

Cursor changed everything for designers.
I went from sketching UI to shipping a full agent OS.
The gap between ideas and reality is closer than ever to zero.

I just spent some time running through the first 4 missions of the #LEGO MINDSTORMS Voice Challenge at https://t.co/6KP2J0OCPf, and made a video to prove it. The EV3 connects to the Alexa Show via Bluetooth; Python code on the EV3 activates the motors. Fun!

You know, Stadia is cool, but the cooler part is how this harkens an era in which the hardware we interact with is no longer also _the computer_. In which case we are now surrounded by session-agnostic displays & inputs, some of which can already recognize our faces and voices.
