For 20 years software had a stable playbook. Need reliability? Here are five ways to write tests. Now that writing code is nearly free, the engineers best at that playbook turn to it, and it's blank.

Did that playbook deliver? I mean did software get better? of course not. So hate to have reality adjudicate the case but...

This hits a nerve. The old playbook isn’t useless—it just suddenly ends halfway through the game. When code becomes cheap, the hard part moves to making intent explicit and proving outcomes. Tests still matter; now they need company: evals, traces, review gates, observability—and, inconveniently, a human willing to own the release.

Why blank? The same ideas still work really well. The tradeoffs are different and there are more things we need to know, but things like "knowing how to test" are still very useful.

Dario Amodei just told software engineers exactly how long they have. Six to twelve months. Amodei: “I have engineers within Anthropic who say I don’t write any code anymore. I just let the model write the code, I edit it, I do the things around it.” The people building the most powerful AI in history have already stopped writing code. That is not a forecast. That is the current working condition inside the lab closest to the frontier. Amodei: “We might be six to 12 months away from when the model is doing most, maybe all, of what SWEs do end-to-end.” The tech industry spent a decade making software engineers its highest-paid, most protected class. That era has a last day now. When a model can execute an entire software build end-to-end, the ability to write syntax stops being a skill. It becomes a credential for a job that no longer exists. Amodei: “And then it’s a question of how fast does that loop close.” That is the sentence everyone skipped. The code was never the hard part. The hard part was everything around it. The model just learned everything around it. Writing the code is already nearly gone. Testing is next. Deployment is next. When all three collapse into a single autonomous execution loop, the machine no longer needs a human in the chain at all. The corporation or sovereign state that closes that loop first does not gain a competitive advantage. It gains a category of speed that biological engineers cannot match, track, or reverse. That is not disruption. That is replacement at a systems level. Amodei is not describing a future disruption. He is describing the current state of his own building. The loop is already closing. The only question is whether you are inside it or outside it when it seals.

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche

Max Levchin says software engineers are becoming software sculptors. LLMs can write the code, but your job is the conversation with the machine. That still takes taste.

Infiltrate. Grow. Intimidate. Take control. That is the playbook for political Islam. We have 1,400 years of history to prove it.

The hard part of building is no longer writing code. Code is easy. Nobody wins by writing more code or doing it faster. If you want to win, you need better thinking. There are a ton of startups focusing on using AI to write more code. I think they are missing the plot. We need a mental shift. We need tools that help us think faster, make better decisions, and focus on the right problems. I want you to check out Atoms because they are doing exactly this. They don't focus on the code, but on helping you build the right structure: 1. It starts by deep-researching marketing insights 2. It turns that into an execution plan 3. It builds both frontend and backend 4. It helps with deployment, SEO, growth, and analytics More importantly, it specializes in the core components you need to build and sell software online: • Authentication flows • Stripe payments • Infrastructure Their goal here is not to be another autocomplete tool or a copilot to help you write software. Their goal is to become a "vibe business team" that helps you build a business from the ground up. Here is a link for you to check them out: Thanks to the team for helping me onboard on the platform and collaborating with me on the post.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the Jevons paradox and software demand expansion, Neelkanth Mishra, Executive Director Designate of the World Bank, says, “…If you think about what the major cost of a software firm is, it is people. So, if the writing of software is getting automated, those firms will be the first to make adjustments. But on the whole, it seems that the Jevons paradox—which dictates that as the cost of writing software falls, the amount of software written goes up—is actually playing out. If an XYZ company, which is a product company, was spending, say, $100 million on writing software and can now do it for $70 million, they might need to lay off some people; that is their business priority. But if the amount of software written goes up three to four times, the number of software engineers in the ecosystem will not change… This panic and paranoia about massive job losses is something that I think is, at this stage, unfounded.”

Emilie Nicolas on David Parker and Alberta separatist groups: "I think there's a tactical playbook here that is also being borrowed or imitated and copied. And we need to look at the ways in which democracy south of the border is being eroded to be able to at least anticipate what moves could be done next."

The worst thing about dealing with C (and C++ to an extent) code is understanding and debugging macros that you didn't write. Here are a couple ways of how to deal with them!

Jensen Huang just explained why every company cutting engineers over AI is asking the entirely wrong question. Huang: “People say, I don’t need software engineers because apparently coding is going to be automated.” That was the narrative. Here is what Huang actually did. Huang: “I’ve given AIs to every one of my software engineers and hardware engineers and engineers period. 100% of NVIDIA has AI assistants, AI coders, and they’re busier than ever.” Not fewer engineers. Not smaller teams. Busier than ever. That is the line most companies are getting completely wrong right now. They hear “AI can write code” and immediately start cutting headcount. Huang did the opposite. He armed everyone. Huang: “And so the question is, what is the task versus what is the job? No different than a financial analyst; the task is mess around with spreadsheets, but the job is to make financial advice. The job is to help a customer.” Writing code was always the task. It was never the job. The job is architecture. Knowing what to build. Why it matters. How it fits into a system that actually creates value. Code is the execution layer between the idea and the outcome. Nothing more. When you automate that layer, you don’t eliminate the engineer. You eliminate the bottleneck between what they can envision and what they can ship. The companies using AI to cut headcount are optimizing for cost. The companies using AI to multiply output are optimizing for territory. Nvidia chose territory. Every engineer at the most valuable semiconductor company on Earth now operates with an AI assistant. Not a pilot program. Not an experiment. Company-wide. Every function. Every team. And the result is not less work. It is more work. Faster. At a scale that was physically impossible twelve months ago. The companies that understand the difference between eliminating engineers and unleashing them will build what comes next. The ones that don’t will watch their best talent walk out the door to the ones that did.

Dana White Just Blew the Lid Off Democrats' Obama Playbook Strategy “She [Kamala] talks a lot about the need for change and her hope for the future. Hope and change—does that sound familiar?” “She can use the old Obama playbook, but she's not Obama, and she is no agent of change. She is the sitting Vice President of the United States right now. What she hopes is that voters will focus on the future because she doesn't want us looking at the last four years to see what we really need to change.
