I was a professional UI developer for a decade, and now AI writes ALL of my UI. It was the first to go.
I'll still write the API layer, but the days of laying out borders and buttons by hand are long past, I'm afraid. Unless you have the aesthetic chops to do it all in Figma, but very few do.

I've found UI programming to be very deep and interesting if you're doing it all from scratch (API design, layout, rendering, text handling, focus management, animation, input handling etc). Such a shame we condemned a generation of frontend devs to the browser black box.

A compiler is deterministic. An agent isn't.
Show me how to test a non deterministic system as well as a deterministic one and I'll stop reviewing agent outputs.

I can confirm it's true. Manufacturer-plate Chery imports hiding among the Audis at a holding lot in Toronto, Canada. Jaecoo, Omoda, Exlantix.
The Chinese EVs have arrived.

Normalise being boring.
I have been staying here in Udaipur for a week at an Airbnb. The owner is a 55-year-old lady who wakes up at 5 a.m. and walks for 3 km every day for the last 20 years. She looks like 40 at most.
She has done all those tough treks. From Panch Kedars to Char Dham Yatra and what not.
That's the thing about discipline and routine; it looks boring from the outside, but it's the key to living a happy, peaceful, long life.

"One shotting" an entire implementation is the dumbest thing I've ever heard (for now).
For sure you can get a lot done in a batch but removing yourself from the architectural decision steps along the way that you discover as you measure is foolish.

“We looked at 1M conversations”
Surprise!
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
How do people seek guidance from Claude? We looked at 1M conversations to understand what questions people ask, how Claude responds, and where it slips into sycophancy. We used what we found to improve how we trained Opus 4.7 and Mythos Preview. anthropic.com/research/claud…

This is the the quote I've been citing a lot recently.

90% of developers answer this wrong.
What’s the output 👇

Becoz browser treats localhost:3000 and localhost:8000 as different origins.
Backend needs to send Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with the frontend url. For dev you can set it to http://localhost:3000 or use * but better to lock it down.
Also add Access-Control-Allow-Methods and Access-Control-Allow-Headers if you use custom ones or POST with json.
This fixes it in most cases.

@SumitM_X Because the browser sees them as different origins.
Origin = protocol + host + port
So even though both use localhost:
• localhost:3000
• localhost:8000
Different port = different origin.
Backend must allow it with proper CORS headers.

When you write code with AI, the rules of software engineering do not suddenly disappear. A developer can turn code into unmaintainable mess in months, AI can do it in days. Just like it always was: if you need maintainable code, pay a lot of attention to architecture and tests.

I would love to learn why Shopify went with YugabyteDB over TiDB in their evaluation of distributed SQL databases
Not to throw shade. Each DB has its own strengths and weaknesses
I think the industry learns tremendously when we share experiences

Data loss is the easiest way to lose customers and trust. Security and data loss.
Unacceptable. Do better Microsoft.

This GitHub incident is insane. Merge queue commits have been reverting previously merged commits at random. This not only breaks the mental contract teams have with Git in general, but is subtle enough to be really hard to unravel after the fact. githubstatus.com/incidents/zsg1…

@sukh_saroy And what do we call a language with a well-defined syntax and semantics suitable for generating executable artifacts?
A programming language.
We call it a programming language.
