I think it really helps to say, suppose Claude Code is Einstein x N for N areas you care about. Don’t you still need to know what you actually want to achieve before you hire him? Don't you still need basic separation of concerns? Or else that Einstein is just going to do what he thinks is best. Which is the outcome that 10M other users are getting at the same time as you, so it has $0 value. It’s like that moment when 10,000 people decided to run Karpathy’s autoresearch for nanochat in exactly the same configuration at the same time with the same model lol. At its best, it’s a lottery. But it’s a low-temperature lottery, where everyone gets the same ticket numbers. An even more stupid form of gambling.

I can tell that I got/get frustrated, demotivated and impatient quicker as soon as the collaboration with AI leaves the happy-path. Usually I consider myself very patient and went through lots of constructive struggles ... but tasting the fruit changes things 😇

👉Awesome to distinguish between people who used AI for hints vs. direct answers. 👉Those who used it for hints didn’t suffer as much, which provides a constructive path forward for AI design (Socratic tutoring vs. answer-giving).

@brianchristian 3/ Although AI improves performance during assisted sessions, performance drops sharply once it's removed. And relative to controls, AI-assisted participants also gave up more frequently on test problems.

People who like sharing agent traces. I've just published all my pi-mono coding agent sessions on @huggingface so you get to laugh at or pwn me! huggingface.co/datasets/badlo… I suggest you do the same, see thread below. Let's make this a community effort. Here's pi-share-hf: github.com/badlogic/pi-sh… If you are working on tools that help identify PII/sensitive data, get in touch. The better the classification is, the more willing people will be to share their traces.

Banger article 🧨 👀 “A finance product built around "help the CFO close the books faster" and a finance product built around "make the month-end close not require a human" are not the same product. They are not the same company. You cannot usually get from the first to the second by iterating. You have to start with the second in mind.”

Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military” Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Software development exposed a new limitation: adding more people does not accelerate progress, it often slows it down. Fred Brooks formulated this in a simple observation that remains relevant decades later, highlighting that coordination, not coding, is the real bottleneck in complex systems. Despite this, many companies still attempt to solve delivery problems by scaling teams instead of improving processes, increasing complexity while expecting clarity. The lesson remains unchanged: without structured coordination, growth amplifies chaos instead of performance. You could read about this in The Mythical Man-Month by Fred Brooks.

SaaS is dead. Why pay $45/month when Claude Code can build you anything for $200/month? Except there's an issue..... Most people don’t want to spend their evenings or work ours prompting AI, debugging edge cases, and figuring out why the payment process is broken again. I'll die on this hill, but people have always paid for convenience. They want to open an app and have it work. The best apps look simple. The backend is anything but. That gap — between what users see and what actually runs underneath — is where all the work lives. SaaS is dead. Of course, for those who want to engage in bait.

The biggest issue with replacing all purpose-built UI with a text box is that it shifts the burden of figuring out how to get to the right intentful UI, on the user. It sounds easy for the makers. Easy to justify too. The feeling of ‘simplifying complex interfaces’ that has eluded most enterprise software builders for decades. If you’ve built anything at scale, you know users don’t intuitively figure out ‘what to prompt’. An empty text box, just like the empty document is one of the hardest starting points for any clear JTBD. On top of that there’s a million other issues too: the system you can only ‘look through’ a small prompt box is inherently un-navigable. And what’s un-navigable is unusable at scale. Such a system also does NOT expose its capabilities to the user. What’s the scope of things I can ask here? What do I type for what I want? What if my input is imprecise? A text box is not the end-all UI for enterprise software. We need to do better.

notice something? Linear, PostHog, Attio - all shipped the same thing in the last few weeks. Homepage is a chat bar - not a dashboard. This is the SaaS industry quietly admitting that traditional UI doesn't work anymore. Every user is different. One homepage can't serve them all. The playbook is shifting: → expose your core APIs → connect an agentic layer → let users use software the way they want SaaS became chat. Chat will become Generative UI - the agent won't just reply in text, it will compose the interface itself. We're closer than people think.

Hot take: an empty chat box as the primary UI is the exact *opposite* of intelligence in a product It's like saying "I have no idea what you want to do here, tell me" This is why pre-AI UIs feel better IMHO

Falls ihr euch wundert, warum es keinen Brennpunkt zum Anschlag im ICE in Siegburg gab. Es war wahrscheinlich nur ein deutscher Fascho. 💤

young people who want to learn programming still exist! (sharing the screenshot with their permission). as corporate has decided we no longer need juniors, i think one function of OSS projects could be to keep the junior -> senior pipeline working. here's how i'll try to do it.

@badlogicgames "young people who want to learn programming still exist!" is what I reflect to here. I think the curious minds do exist a lot ... depending on their surrounding they enjoy expressing it IMO.

@badlogicgames @badlogicgames I'm interested in what it was for you that sparked your interesting in computers and programming. For me it was an exploratory quest of curiosity and joy of tinkering. That motive is the spark. Coding, building tables, writing novels, ... is the expression of it.

The "empty time" and self-reliance you noted in previous generations may ironically make a comeback ... not by choice, but out of necessity, as we realize we can no longer simply hire someone else to maintain the world we built.

We may see a resurgence of multi-generational households to pool resources and share elder-&childcare. Neighborhoods and local communities will have to become more self-reliant, taking on responsibilities that the state or private corporations simply lack the manpower to provide

4. A Return to Localized Community Reliance The 20th century allowed us to outsource our survival to massive, faceless systems (supermarkets, hospitals, state pensions). If those systems become strained by a lack of workers, society naturally defaults to older human behaviors.
