I'm sure it is. Thankfully I don't work for a company this large any more, but when I was employed by a multinational with 30K+ employees, our IT department was outsourced to India and you had to get through a couple layers of pho

I think this is a semantics thing. I feel the same way, but I wouldn't say that I feel like I'm good at programming . I'm most certainly not. What I am good at is product design and development, and LLM tech has made it so t

Steve Jobs may have been the ultimate editor. Jobs was an expert at saying "No" when it came to product decisions. He is sorely missed at modern Apple. It took a while for the cracks to pile up, but the dam has fully broken now.

Boy I hope so. I miss my RSS reader. I'd love to see one made with the modern UX that makes the doomscrolling apps so engaging. (Or maybe I wouldn't.)

Right here: https://codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/the-ai-ready-so... This series of articles is gold. Unsurprisingly, writing good software with AI follows the same principles as writing it without AI.
