Reminds me of the old POV-Ray stuff I did in the early-1990s. But... in realtime and in my browser. WTF!

I wonder how much the tech bros are going to regret having bent over for Trump in 2028 when a Democrat is sitting in the Whitehouse looking at rolling out some retribution using the new legal tools the Trump team succeeded in securing durin

I gave it a run on my Astro website project. It definitely makes more mistakes than Codex-5.3, but the speed is something to behold. The text flashes by way faster than I can understand what's going on. And most of its edits worked. I

Great move by OpenAI. With coding agents, if you have access to a fast and cheap model, you can afford to let it rip, making lots of mistakes, and iterate until it gets things right. With the right scaffolding (AGENTS.md, SKILLS.md, etc.),

100%. Day one is to ship the basic capability, which many of us have already vibe-coded... Day two is all the enterprise stuff to make big companies trust AI coding more. That could unlock a lot of revenue. This isn't random at all.

And yet, this is precisely what seed bets are about. You have to try it in order to know whether there is a "there" there.

Absolutely. Things you would ask your designer if they weren't on the drip at $80/hr and maxed out with "other projects".

PS: Yes, I spent several hours on the weekend getting Codex to add animations, sound effects, and a mini game to our home page hero graphic. That was fun. I look forward to the creativity that people unleash with tools like this in the comi

Yes, this actually works. In 2026, software engineering is going to change a great deal as a result, and if you're not at least experimenting with this stuff to learn what it's capable of, that's a red flag for your career pr

I tried talking to Claude today. What a nightmare. It constantly interrupts you. I don’t mind if Claude wants to spend ten seconds thinking about its reply, but at least let ME finish my thought. Without decent turn-taking, the AI seems imp

My best guess after dipping my toe into semiconductor fabrication a decade ago is that there is a mysterious guru in a cave under a volcano who decides which customers get access to which nodes at which prices.

Lots of great replies - thank you, everyone. I think most of these objections are valid against a “ChatGPT-in-a-box is your manager” framing. That’s not what I meant by “AI replaces middle management”. What I did mean is: within ~36 months,

This is cute. I think within 36 months AI will replace middle management in software companies. This will happen because, ironically, today’s middle managers will switch back to being individual contributors, using AI to contribute PRs once

We don’t see BYD cars in the US or Canada very much yet because of tariffs. But head down to Mexico and they’re everywhere. The Chinese EV automakers are crushing it.

Type-safe message-passing is such a wonderful programming paradigm - and not just for distributed applications. I remember using QNX back in the 1990s. One of its fabulous features was a C message passing library allowing you to send arbitr
