@vivekgalatage You keep finding excellent technical articles. You're one of my own best sources. How do keep finding these? And more importantly, how do you keep up with your readings?

What? I have been reliably told that reading code is for old people
Lukasz Olejnik@lukOlejnik

Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).

The most valuable asset you can invest in as a software engineer is: - Understanding The more you understand, the deeper your understanding, the greater your impact. This means crafting “one level deeper”, thinking more. It may take years, but understanding will reward you.
Joran Dirk Greef@jorandirkgreef

People never paid you: - for the time it took to write the code, - but for the value you created. Focus on tools that improve quality and value in the software you ship.

I just don’t get what’s got everyone excited about OpenAI’s “scaling” blog. It’s essentially “we froze the schema, threw dozens of read replicas at it, and pray the single primary doesn’t fall over.” They’re treating their database as immutable infrastructure. They’ve traded operational flexibility for read throughput—probably works for read-heavy ChatGPT metadata, but it’s not a generalizable scaling pattern

NOW - Citadel's CEO says AI has re-empowered technology departments in every business but the claims that 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs will disappear due to AI in five years is "hype," driven by the AI industry's need to justify raising billions for data centers.

A friend of mine has been hit by a few layoffs. Each time he bounces back within a month- usually with a pay bump, sometimes a promotion. He lands on his feet every single time. I asked him what he does- it's the stuff recruiters always say and many people say- "I did that" or "I've tried that"- but just operates this way. He saw a job he wanted before his layoff happened. They required a security cert- one he'd want anyway. He used his final month of benefits to book it immediately and applied right away. He checked linkedin for connections at the company and found an old one. He reached out and asked them to flag his resume to the recruiter. After every interview he followed up with the recruiter AND the interviewers, thanking them. He also hopped on calls to debrief. This signals interest- and when two candidates are close at offer time, you default to the one who showed they actually want it. He treats the interview like the job, acting like interviewers are already colleagues and the hiring manager is already his boss. He communicates like he's already on the team. when explaining technical concepts he's mindful of who he's talking to and how they're reacting- start broad, read the room, go deeper only if they're tracking. You don't want to lose someone or show them up. The basics work, many people just don't do them consistently.

Coding is over. Coding is so back. LLMs are great. Maybe we don't need to handwrite code anymore. But they still create slop, they still make mistakes, you still have to build with clarity and intent. Let's appreciate it without becoming alarmist. It's becoming unbearable.

If you want to change, be softer with yourself, not more forceful. Love softens the fear that holds our most frustrating pattens together.

A reminder from Atomic Habits: New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.

I have landed my dream job. I’ve just accepted a position at Harmonic, a Palo Alto startup applying AI to formal mathematical reasoning. Harmonic’s Aristotle formal reasoning model achieved Gold Medal level performance at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). I will work on exploring applications of Aristotle to the formal verification of hardware. This job is a perfect intersection of hardware design and verification, functional programming, formal methods and machine learning, bringing together several threads of my career so far. The beauty of asking an AI to generate a proof for a lemma (e.g. a formal property about a circuit) is that it can be checked by an external interactive theorem prover (like Lean) to establish whether the AI’s output is actually correct. This is an awesome superpower! harmonic.fun @HarmonicMath

Cursor is killing your ability to think for yourself. Before you can architect a solution, AI throws slop on the screen as you blindly hit tab. You spend the next 30 minutes debugging why the code doesn’t work or compile. In the end, you learned nothing. Two engineers on our team are learning Rails rn. After leaving Cursor, their velocity and craft improved dramatically.

I have a working theory that this weird skill of 'unclenching' also makes you quantifiably 'luckier' in life. It turns out that what we label as 'luck' is a combination of the following measurable factors: ↓
Jonny Miller@jonnym1ller

one of the best ways you can experience this is turn on a cold shower, and notice what happens to your body as you’re about to go in, then train yourself to unbrace… and then apply that same move to everything in increasingly subtle ways
