Heard this today: company’s procurement software disappeared (they shut down?) so junior software dev on Procurement Team vibe codes their own version of the procurement software.

I just re-read my post from yesterday and saw this sentence I wrote:
The HomeView needs an iPhone for it to work with Siri AI because your phone and all its apps are where it gets all its context.
WTF is this weird AI sounding sentence coming out of my fingers? What is happening to my mind? Our language? Our… blah!

Simon Willison:
On the one hand, this looks like a direct threat to us software engineers - because it means that the models can build effectively any piece of software you can define in this way.
Look a bit closer though and you’ll note that defining goals, providing unambiguous instructions, and figuring out the right tools… is kind of what software engineering is.
It takes a lot of experience and skill to do this well. If you can do it well, you’ve now got superpowers.
This helped me a little bit with my Deep Blue feelings: the realization that there’s still a lot of skill to be had in driving models that get this good.
Outlining that simply:
defining goals providing unambiguous instructions figuring out the right tools

Meta’s New A.I. Agent For Losers (via):
What do you mean you had your robot shop for collectible ceramics? Is there any other part of collecting ceramics as a hobby besides shopping for them? Is your hobby now “having bowls?” Hi, I’m Eli Tan, writer for the New York Times. In my leisure time I enjoy owning dishes.
As a flashlight nerd (aka collector), this spoke to me. Yeah, I own (a lot of) flashlights, but, yeah, shopping for, thinking about buying, or even impulse buying is most of the fun of collecting.
And this bit:
This is my life. These are the things that life consists of. There’s my work, there’s my hobbies, there’s my health, my future. All the big meaningful elements of life are just a collection of little tasks that you have to do one at a time.

Cory Doctorow:
If you showed up at Defcon and gave talk about how your autonomous malware did something unexpected and damaged someone else’s computers, the first question from the audience would be “Why are you so shit at making secure sandboxes?” It wouldn’t be “How are you so awesome at making hacking tools?”

When I hear about agents using public forums to help them save memories and coordinate information: I think of the movie Memento where he tattoos himself as reminders of important things.

Interesting. An engineering manager starts to build software again: it’s more fun than managing people. Everyone at the company is trying out new ideas constantly. It’s Lord of the Flies.

Revisiting using Cursor for trying out more non-Claude agents, which I haven’t done too much of recently. I’ve generally been running Claude Code on my laptop, especially for iOS/Xcode projects, but doing a bit more with cloud agents with my web projects.

Just because artificial lawns are not as good as the real deal doesn’t mean they can’t be called artificial lawns.
And if a truck can struggle up a hill and a river can find its way to the sea, then Claude can reason its way through a machine learning problem.
