They are paying this much for standout software engineers - who can generate better software, faster, using Claude Code vs “just” avg sw engineers (who do OK with it.) AI amplifies existing ability, and the best in any indusrty (who learn to use these tools) are in more demand

🚨BREAKING: Alibaba tested AI coding agents on 100 real codebases, spanning 233 days each. the agents failed spectacularly. turns out passing tests once is easy. maintaining code for 8 months without breaking everything is where AI collapses. SWE-CI is the first benchmark that measures long-term code maintenance instead of one-shot bug fixes. each task tracks 71 consecutive commits of real evolution. 75% of AI models break previously working code during maintenance. only Claude Opus 4 stays above 50% zero-regression rate. every other model accumulates technical debt that compounds over iterations. here's the brutal part: - HumanEval and SWE-bench measure "does it work right now" - SWE-CI measures "does it still work after 6 months of changes" agents optimized for snapshot testing write brittle code that passes tests today but becomes unmaintainable tomorrow. Alibaba built EvoScore to weight later iterations heavier than early ones. agents that sacrifice code quality for quick wins get punished when consequences compound. the AI coding narrative just got more honest: most models can write code. almost none can maintain it.

(comic) Thinking on your feet

Controversial take: "Senior developer" doesn't mean 10 years of experience. It means you've mass-deleted production data at least once, mass-emailed customers by accident, and mass-deployed on Friday. The "senior" is trauma, not tenure. 😅

Build the simplest thing that could possibly work. Do that repeatedly and put in the work to keep the system simple, and leave the codebase better than you found it.

1999 et il m'arrive encore d'y jouer 😁. Je l'ai découvert en classe, en CM2. Nous avions un ordinateur dans la classe et le maître nous autorisait à rester dans la classe pour y jouer pendant les récréations.

Proud moment: seeing my GitHub handle in the release log of the #Zed editor.

Nouvel article de la série sur la réimplémentation de SQLite en Rust ! On indexe de la donnée. J'y aborde les clefs primaires composites et les index secondaires. Bonne lecture 😇 lafor.ge/rustqlite-15/

I've been fascinated by a special type of programmer, the devs who don't use IDE features like: -autocomplete/copilot -LSP - go-to-def What allows them to just rawdog text editors? Do they have superhuman coding ability? I asked them and here is a thread of what they said:

Thank you to our community for an incredible year!

The hardest part of building software isn’t the coding - it’s clear requirements. Especially true with AI where clarity and precision guide everything.

Grain de sable après grain sable je continue à bâtir ma re-implementation de sqlite en Rust. Aujourd'hui on utilise la serialization de la partie précédente pour stocker et scanner en DB des records. Bonne lecture :) lafor.ge/rustqlite-3/

Why does every project feel like it's never delivered on time based on initial estimates? Dave Stewart explains the hidden work within the work in an excellent visual. The entire post can be found at davestewart's blog post "the work is never just the work"
