I've been reflecting on this. I'm generally a very optimistic person, but lately I've been feeling a strange sense of sadness that coding has been "solved".
I can, and have, made many caveats to "solved"... but I also know that in five years none of them will matter. It will be solved.
Building things is still fun, but a different kind of fun. It doesn't activate the same parts of my brain as trad coding did.
I think it's okay to mourn the thing we loved doing being different now. Software was the first job to go through the five AI stages of grief, which means we're also some of the first to internalize that this will happen to many other jobs.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
@obsdmd Great to see color highlights in Obsidian.
Funny coincidence: I built essentially the same feature 5 months ago: https://t.co/h8Zgdpc9iT
Never got around to publishing it. Apparently procrastination had a roadmap.
Acciones para niños y adolescentes en Instagram y Facebook
(por ahora sólo para US)
⏱️ Límite diario de uso: máximo predeterminado de 2 horas acumuladas por día entre Instagram y Facebook. Superarlo requiere autorización parental.
🌙 Night Mode: entre 00:00 y 06:00, se bloquea el acceso a Feed, Stories, Explore y Reels.
🏫 Menos notificaciones durante horario escolar: entre 08:00 y 15:00 se silencian las notificaciones, excepto mensajes directos y determinadas alertas de seguridad.
💬 Mensajes directos preservados: los DMs permanecen disponibles incluso cuando se alcanzó el límite diario o durante Night Mode.
⏸️ Interrupciones del uso continuo: aviso después de cada 15 minutos de uso ininterrumpido.
⏰ Alertas de tiempo acumulado: recordatorios adicionales al alcanzar 60 y 90 minutos diarios.
🔀 Feed cronológico/no algorítmico: adolescentes y padres podrán elegir que el contenido se presente sin personalización mediante los algoritmos de recomendación de Meta.
▶️ Autoplay desactivable: los padres podrán exigir que los videos no comiencen automáticamente, introduciendo una acción explícita para continuar consumiendo contenido.
❤️ Likes y reacciones ocultos por defecto: los adolescentes dejarán de ver las métricas de likes y reacciones en publicaciones propias y ajenas.
🪞 Restricciones sobre filtros: bloqueo de filtros de cirugía estética y maquillaje extremo.
🔒 Cuentas privadas por defecto: se mantienen las configuraciones de privacidad reforzadas para adolescentes.
🛡️ Restricciones de contacto: mayores limitaciones para que adultos considerados sospechosos puedan encontrar, seguir o contactar adolescentes.
👨👩👧 Mayor control parental: los padres podrán supervisar configuraciones, intentos de modificar protecciones, cuentas secundarias y determinadas interacciones potencialmente riesgosas.
🎂 Detección de edad: Meta reforzará los mecanismos para detectar menores de 13 años y adolescentes que hayan declarado falsamente tener 18 años o más.
🪪 Age assurance: Meta impulsará mecanismos para que las app stores verifiquen edad y consentimiento parental, de modo que las plataformas reciban una señal confiable sobre si el usuario es menor.
🔜 Potencial endurecimiento futuro: si TikTok y YouTube adoptan determinadas medidas equivalentes, Meta reduciría el límite a 1 hora diaria por aplicación y ampliaría Night Mode a 22:00–07:00.
If you’re not reading the code, whether explicitly or through agentic inquiry, one or more of these is true:
○ You’re a beginner
○ Software is throwaway
○ You’re prototyping
○ You have no users / revenue
○ You’re taking on debt & risk
○ Your problems are basic
And btw. All of this is fine. But the reality is that models are still not at the “full autonomy” stage yet.
They make rookie mistakes, they go down bad architectural paths. I just had the best model in the world add a nonsensical 700ms delay to “settle” something and it told me “you’re right, I was cargo-culting” 🤨
I am on the camp that this need will diminish more and more. Most code is indeed going to be assembly-like. But we also have the global internet and software infrastructure riding on these models and narrative, and we have to respect that.
@frascafrasca En una locura pensar que en menos de un año pasamos de "no hay chances de que haga mi trabajo" → "está mal, pero no tan mal" → "puede hacer la mayoría de lo que hago en una cuarta parte del tiempo".
@DamianCatanzaro Microsoft no es santo de mi devoción. Dicho eso, uso Teams en Mac hace años (porque estoy obligado) y no he tenido problemas. No entiendo la fama que se ganó.
I’m excited to welcome two legends of developer tools, Pete Hunt (@floydophone) and Nick Schrock (@schrockn), to Vercel.
Pete was one of the pioneers of @reactjs at Meta. He made an early bet to power Instagram Web with ⚛️ React, evangelizing it internally and externally. He will be running Frameworks and leading @nextjs. I couldn’t imagine a better person to lead React’s most popular framework to even greater heights.
Nick co-invented @graphql, solving some of the gnarliest data infrastructure and access issues at Facebook scale, with a delightful developer experience. He will be working on Agentic Developer Experience, solving the problem of enabling the next billion agents and leading the way to a future of self-improving software.
It’s a dream-come-true for a founder of a startup to welcome engineering minds of this caliber who are also wonderful humans. You probably want to work with them, and they’re hiring 😁. Their DMs are open, from job applications to bug reports!
You can now run any Dockerfile on Vercel.

Human judgement in engineering is ironically even more crucial now. Deciding what to build. Deciding on the right architectures. Deciding whether you regenerate from scratch $$$ or reuse existing legos. Managing tech debt. You can do anything now, but you can't do everything.
