There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Yesterday, we witnessed the App-Store moment of AI. The AppSDK allows developers to embed full-fledged Apps directly into ChatGPT. If you combine the transformation of the iPhone App Store with adoption pace of ChatGPT, the implications are massive: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

A friend asked me: “What do you think about the future of project management?” Here is my hunch:

Tomorrow’s project management will connect requirements, decisions, and code in a single traceable chain — every “why” and “how” and change is transparent to everyone.

By now I think we can agree that AI is changing a lot in software development. Especially since Claude Code, we are seeing tremendous shifts.

The recording of last week's meetup with Jason Liu, David Soria Parra (Anthropic), OpenAI and @sa.muelcolvin.com is now live on youtube.

Notably this includes David's plan for the future of MCP.

I've hacked together an MCP server to query all #KubeCon videos or any other Youtube Playlist: github.com/luebken/play...

Good morning #kubecon. The CNCF has already started posting www.youtube.com/@cncf/videos of the presentations.

To summarize and gauge whether I want to see a presentation, I use:

$ pip install youtube-transcript-api
$ pip install llm
$ llm keys set gemini

Great post by @simonwillison.net on coding with LLMs:
"Think of them as an over-confident pair programming assistant"
"Don’t fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing LLMs"
"LLM tools that obscure context are less effective."

Simon Willison @simonwillison.net · Mar 11

Here's the table of contents for my lengthy new piece on how I use LLMs to help me write code simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/...

If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is easy they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone.

I’ve been getting great results out of LLMs for code for over two years now. Here’s my attempt at transferring some of that experience and intution to you.

Set reasonable expectations
Account for training cut-off dates
Context is king
Ask them for options
Tell them exactly what to do
You have to test what it writes!
Remember it’s a conversation
Use tools that can run the code for you
Vibe-coding is a great way to learn
A detailed example
Be ready for the human to take over
The biggest advantage is speed of development
LLMs amplify existing expertise
Bonus: answering questions about codebases

@simonwillison.net great post.

In your process, you explicitly put human in the loop. Do you think that is sufficient to gain intuition and experience? Or do we need to adopt some new practices? e.g. using LLMs to quiz us?

You are prompting it wrong. — An opinion piece that AI in software engineering is here to stay. I see way too many dismissive posts about AI lately, and I argue that most people don’t know what they are talking about, and it’s far too early to judge. www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-pr...
