My friend is a 10x software engineer. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at the Yamauchi No.10 Family Office website together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… "We can’t, we don’t know how to do it."

Historic Vids No one knows how deep my love for Hidden figures is. When the movie came out, it was when I thought of quitting my engineer degree. Asked for a sign to stick around, this movie was it. And today I’m a computer systems engineer. I’ll never get tired of watching this.

We asked Amjad Masad (Founder & CEO of Replit ⠕) what happens when engineers start managing AI agents instead of code. “The buzzword used to be the 10x engineer. I started talking about the 1000x engineer; someone highly leveraged by autonomous agents. "Right now, people using Replit spin up multiple agents to work on their project while they handle the main task." "You're no longer just one person, you’re a team. Every engineer is now sort of a manager." "We're not at 1000x yet, but soon the gap between a great engineer who knows how to use AI tools and an okay one will be 100x.”

Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO: "If a $500,000 engineer didn't burn at least $250,000 on tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed." He compared it to a chip designer refusing to touch CAD tools and reaching for paper and pencil instead. That's how he sees an engineer who barely uses Claude. Every engineer at Nvidia is about to run a hundred agents at once. He replaced a whole software stack in 90 minutes on a Sunday night, then went to bed. The skill he wants isn't writing code. It's knowing how to spend $250k of compute and still ship something great. Watch the full interview, then read the breakdown below

Logan Paul reveals he would’ve become an engineer if he never got famous “I was going to be an industrial and systems engineer” “When I dropped out of college, I finished my first year with a 4.0 GPA. It was a hard decision because I am a bit of an academic, if you will” “My goal at that point in time was to invent a product that would revolutionize the world and it turns out media allows me to exercise that creative part of my brain and it’s a lot more fun”

My friend makes $850,000/year as an Anthropic AI engineer. No MIT. No Stanford. No PhD. I asked him how he broke into AI from scratch. He sent me a course that was never supposed to get out. A developer teaching to build self-improving AI agents from scratch. You will learn exactly how AI agents like Claude Code and OpenClaw are actually built. You won't find anything better about becoming an AI engineer in 2026 than this video. I watched it last night. Halfway through, I realized I could land a role at a top AI lab in months, not years. Bookmark this and read the article below.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to sit down with some of my fellow interns at Groq Inc to share what our internships have been like so far. It was awesome hearing about the different projects, challenges, and takeaways each of us has had while working here. Here’s the lineup: @LucasVogel_dev — Cloud Engineer Arnav Jaiswal — Compound AI Engineer Parker Johnson — Security Engineer Got questions we didn’t cover? Drop them below and we'll answer them! Grateful to be part of such a talented team!

Fox News: How do you deal with people who might be disappointed because they voted for you on the assumption of no wars? Trump: Well, I have to do something in terms of making America great and keeping America great. My uncle was a great professor at MIT. He really got it. He was a highly respected man. He was there for 41 years at MIT.
