As evidence of this, Anthropic, from what I’m told, does not produce an operating plan ahead more than 90 days, and that is their outermost planning cycle. They are vibing, on the shortest cycles and fastest feedback loops imaginable for their size.

And the result, they tell me, is something like improv.

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
