The fact that such a goated game like Death Stranding 2 has only sold 2+ million copies is utter insanity to me. What the fuck are some of these "gamers" doing?

@kylegawley Mostly it's the people selling it who are lying about it.

@rezoundous Pretty close to 100%, yeah. But I'm reviewing 100% and having to fix things.

So it has been about a year since. Is AI writing 100% of your code?
Chubby♨️@kimmonismus
In 3 to 6 months AI will write about 90% of all code. In about 12 months (1 year!) AI will write 100% of all code. That’s coming from Dario Amodei, CEO Anthropic. So year looking bad for several people and looking good for self-developing AI

10 years from now, who even knows what part of software development will still be a human activity?
Nobody knows.
But some people are staying ahead instead of catching up. Still Burning episode 1 now live.

@praveenTweets @Uber "1,800 code changes per week"
Package updates or new features?
English
Agentic software engineering adoption is on fire at @Uber. 1,800 code changes per week are now written entirely by Uber's internal background coding agent, and 95% of our engineers now use AI every month across all the tools we track.
This is a real reset moment for engineering; it's one of the most exciting times to lead. This shift requires builders to be curious and hands-on. I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a team that’s doing exactly that.
The best part is that the strongest adoption isn’t being pushed top down from leadership announcements; it’s coming from engineers who are quietly experimenting, quietly shipping, and quietly pushing things forward.
I love spending time with those engineers because there’s no substitute for being close to the work.
Over the last few months, we leaned in hard, and the results have been phenomenal.
The bigger shift: going agentic.
84% of AI users are now working with agent-style workflows, not just tab completion. Claude Code usage nearly doubled in 2 months (32% → 63%), while IDE-based tools have largely plateaued.
Engineers are moving from accepting suggestions to delegating tasks. Even within traditional IDEs, ~70% of committed code is now AI-generated.
Background agents are writing code autonomously.
Our internal background coding agent went from <1% of all code changes to 8% in just a few months. There is zero human authoring. Engineers review and approve, but the code is written entirely by AI agents.
The role of the engineer is shifting - from writing every line to architecting systems and reviewing AI-generated code.
More to come from the @UberEng team in the coming days.

@engineering_bae We're finding out what AI is and is not good at while assuming we are living through a huge technological leap. It still fumbles on many basic tasks or tries to "cheat". Right now I'm trying to learn workflows that make the most of it.
English
Reading this makes me wonder how I can minimize the brain fry impact on myself and my team.
My initial thought was to confine AI usage and coding with AI assistance to certain chunks of the day to allow for a bit of a break. However, I’m not sure how feasible that is in practice.
Do folks have other ideas? We’re not stopping the AI train so my goal has become finding ways to use it effectively and with minimal stress/brain drain on my team.

New Harvard Business Review research reveals that excessive interaction with AI is causing a specific type of mental exhaustion ( or AI brain fry), which is particularly hitting high performers who use the tech to push past their normal limits. A survey of 1,500 workers reveals that AI is intensifying workloads rather than reducing them, leading to a new form of mental fog. While AI is generally supposed to lighten the load, it often forces users into constant task-switching and intense oversight that actually clutters the mind. This mental static happens because you aren't just doing your job anymore; you are managing multiple digital agents and double-checking their work, which creates a massive cognitive burden. The study found that 14% of full-time workers already feel this fog, with the highest impact seen in technical fields like software development, IT, and finance. High oversight is the biggest culprit, as supervising multiple AI outputs leads to a 12% increase in mental fatigue and a 33% jump in decision fatigue. This isn't just a personal health issue; it directly impacts companies because exhausted employees are 10% more likely to quit. For massive firms worth many B, this decision paralysis can lead to millions of dollars in lost value due to poor choices or total inaction. Essentially, we are working harder to manage our tools than we are to solve the actual problems they were meant to fix. --- hbr .org/2026/03/when-using-ai-leads-to-brain-fry

@TheCraigHewitt @MicroConf Proprietary data is a huge mote. Note that almost any data might become valuable in the future, even "junk" data. Might be a good idea to just sart warehousing literally all data produced and consumed so you can mine it later for value.
English
real talk: I'm giving a talk at @MicroConf next month about AI Agents.
and i'm terrified
Not about the talk...these are my people, it's a fantastic event.
But because the talk could go dark pretty easily.
?? What's going to be the impact of Agents going to be on SaaS when they become widely adopted?
?? What should we as already busy founders be doing to stay up with the times in AI
?? How should we be structuring our companies into the next few years?
?? Should we be thinking of Agents as the primary customers of our products into the future?
?? What's a moat today, and how do we all lean into it as hard as possible?
All very heavy questions. Not as many answers.

@derektmuller "President Biden remains committed to a diplomatic solution while standing resolute that Iran will never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons."
Maybe not all of it.

@chris_n_abyss @daveyjonz @AdamParkhomenko @NikkiFried This is a common misconception. Appellate courts have decided that the Constitution gives Congress the power to override state election law - including for presidential elections.
English
@daveyjonz @AdamParkhomenko @NikkiFried Because states run local elections, not the federal government. The very fact that you're asking this means you have no idea what you're talking about.

Breaking: President Trump is preparing to fire Kristi Noem, advisers say on.wsj.com/4ujl6vN

@frgtr46052602 @McFaul @grok How many military advisors and generals agreed with Trump on attacking Iran and how many did not?
English
This has been answered many times. Iran was reaching the point where they could make missiles faster than we could make interceptors. They were restarting their nuclear program, deep underground and planning to use their arsenal of missiles to protect it.
The US tried negotiations. Iran was not serious. Iran said they have enough enriched uranium for 11 bombs and threatened to nuke the US. They would not agree to stop nuclear enrichment,
The Iranian regime was the weakest it has been in decades. Air defenses were still somewhat disabled. Iranians were protesting by the millions. Trump warned them not to harm their people. Iran then started massacreing 30k+ of it's own people rapidly.
More attempts at diplomacy. Then the opportunity presented itself--the chance to kill the Ayatollah and many of his senior leaders. This matters because they are basically all interchangeable evil players so just taking out the Ayatollah would mean he'd be replaced by someone just as bad.
It was an amazing, complex, successful mission.
English
If we’ve been at war with Iran for 47 years, why didn’t Trump attack in 2017 or 2018 or 2019 or 2020 or 2025?
Genuine, not rhetorical question. What was the trigger in 2026?
