What does all this mean? If you're a programmer, you should already be exploring these tools. If you're programming-adjacent (an academic who works with data, a designer who wants to experiment with code, anyone who wants to try building a thing they are imagining) this is your moment to experiment. But there's a deeper point here: with the right... See more

The future of AI isn’t just about better models. It’s about people figuring out what to do with them.

If a team constantly feels overwhelmed, reactive, or trapped in meetings, it’s rarely because the people are underperforming. It’s because the team is attempting to operate with a context window that exceeds the team’s cognitive design.

The fix is not more process, or more meetings, or more dashboards. It’s a deliberate shrinking and shaping of the... See more

The hard part of computer programming isn’t expressing what we want the machine to do in code. The hard part is turning human thinking – with all its wooliness and ambiguity and contradictions – into computational thinking that is logically precise and unambiguous, and that can then be expressed formally in the syntax of a programming language.

I have been fumbling on what to tell high school and college students about the future of computer science and software engineering. What to focus on? It’s obvious now. I can be so dense.

All I know is everything I needed to know to do everything I’ve ever done. I never once in my life thought about what I wanted to study. I just tried to make... See more

They’re seeing what most miss: successful AI agent deployment isn’t about the technology . It’s about the human systems surrounding it.

The companies winning right now aren’t those with superior algorithms. They’re the ones who decoded human-agent collaboration. They’re solving the trust problem, the liability question, the orchestration challenge.

Automating "grunt work" seems smart. But aren't we climbing towards learned helplessness? #AutomationIrony #FutureOfWork #TechTruth

We keep climbing the stack, delegating more grunt work to our silicon minions while we ascend to ever-loftier perches of "strategic oversight." The promise is wider spans of control, higher-level thinking, liberation... See more
