The amount of code that AI will be able to write in 10 years' time will be insane. It will open up so many opportunities. Every small business will be able to create world-class software.

Even the best platform or Agents needs additional AI agents to make it fully functional.

Simulation Confirmed1 year ago

Boosted output, more bugs—AI coding is like giving NPCs cheat codes. Uplevel Data Labs flagged bug creep: productivity up, code quality glitchy. Trillions unlocked, but simulation artifacts everywhere. Sim!

Have you actually used it? It is too erratic at best. At times it is simply continuously wrong. No one would hire such an employee. Unless you hire ex humanities boot campers who had never shown any interest in tech until they saw the paychecks. The state of this industry.

very interesting talk legend, it’s cool how ai isn’t waiting for someday, it’s rewriting code rn

The next computing shift is already underway — and it’s happening faster than even the people building it expected. Meta CTO Boz joins David George to talk about how the team is rooted in solving real-world problems — and how this new wave of AI is unlike any before, ushering us towards a future beyond the smartphone. Boz says AI isn’t just making things faster or cheaper, it’s making everything better. From interfaces to interaction design, AI is transforming how we build — and how we compute. For more on the future of computing, wearables, and AI-native UX, watch the full conversation with Boz and David:

An agent-first world is around the corner — where more actions will likely be taken by AI than by humans when building software. Zeno Rocha, cofounder of Resend, and Yoko Li say this reality is shaping how developers build, and changing what user experience really means. Great developer experience alone won’t cut it. We’ll also need to build for agent experience (or AX) — rethinking flows, permissioning, and how we define (and audit) who’s doing what in our systems. Zeno and Yoko share why they believe email is the perfect proving ground for AI agents, how to design APIs for agents (not just humans), and what MCP means for the future of agent-native apps.

Marc Andreessen: AI coding doesn’t eliminate programmers — it redefines them. The job is no longer typing code line by line, it’s orchestrating 10 coding bots in parallel, arguing with them, debugging their output, changing the spec, and pushing them toward the right result. But here’s the catch: if you don’t understand how to write code yourself, you can’t evaluate what the AI gives you. The next layer of programming isn’t writing scripts — it’s supervising AI that writes them. Today’s best programmers spend their day jumping between terminals, managing multiple coding bots, fixing mistakes, and refining instructions. The irony? You still need deep fundamentals, because without them, you won’t know when the AI is wrong. The job of the programmer has changed. Now it’s about arguing with coding bots, debugging AI-generated code, and understanding why something doesn’t work or isn’t fast enough. AI abstracts the work — but only people who truly understand code can tell if the abstraction is doing the right thing. Programmers aren’t going away — they’re becoming 10x, 100x, even 1,000x more productive. Tasks are changing, the job is changing, but humans are still overseeing the process, evaluating results, fixing errors, and making judgment calls. AI changes how we code, not who is responsible. The future programmer isn’t replaced by AI — they’re upgraded by it. You still need to learn how to write and understand code, because when the AI gets it wrong, humans are the ones who have to know why. That up-leveling of capability is the real revolution.

I tested a new coding assistant on 34,568 lines of code. (Cursor could not achieve what this tool did.) AI models are improving every day: - Faster inference - Longer context lengths But are AI coding assistants advancing at the same rate? Can they truly understand your entire project? I tested Augment Code on my ai-engineering repo with ~35k lines of code. Augment Code is a powerful AI Assistant built for developers working with large, evolving codebases—needing an assistant that understands the full context of their projects. In the video demo below, I asked it to: - Merge two projects. - Answer a global context question. Here’s what happened: - It understood dependencies across both projects. - It merged them intelligently—without breaking anything. - It even created a README file for the merged project. - It answered my global query instantly, pulling from the full codebase. This is the difference between AI autocomplete and an AI engineer that truly understands your repo. Augment Code is powerful because it indexes your entire repo upfront. This way, it can answer questions instantly, no matter how large your project is. Lastly, Augment Code is fully compatible with VSCode, JetBrains, Vim, Slack, and more. Try them now, I have shared a link in the next tweet! Thanks to Augment Code for showing me their powerful AI coding assistant and working with me on this post.
