Given the current market, I've been thinking a lot about the next generation of builders. They're AI-native but may not have professional experience yet. They just need someone to take a chance on them.

As a dev, there are a lot of things I miss or grunt work I don't enjoy where AI can help me work faster. Experts like @angiejones.tech and Simon Willison have discussed this
But using AI as a cudgel to put pressure on devs to improve by a made up number like "5x" lest they get laid off is bad
But using AI as a cudgel to put pressure on devs to improve by a made up number like "5x" lest they get laid off is bad
NEW: an internal Meta message we obtained tells employees on its metaverse team that they should be using AI to “go 5x faster”. That's 5 times faster, not 5 percent more www.404media.co/meta-tells-w...
Meta Tells Workers Building Metaverse to Use AI to ‘Go 5x Faster’
Meta says that its coders should be working five times faster and that it expects "a 5x leap in productivity."

Tried subrecipes in goose yet? They’re like microservices for your AI agent, except nobody’s arguing over the logging library.

In today's episode of "real AI use cases outside the IDE", one of our engineering teams had Goose review their bug fix PRs, then summarize trends and blind spots. Next, they'll bake that analysis into the repo and have a CI agent watch out for repeat issues 💪🏽

Context windows are like your AI's working memory, and just like humans, they can only juggle so much at once.
