  • Why it's relevant: matches terms: programming; fits Tech category
  • Summary:
    • We Should Revisit Literate Programming in the Agent Era Literate programming is the idea that code should be intermingled with prose such that an uninformed reader could read a code base as a narrative, and come away with an understanding of how it works and what it does.
    • Although I have long been intrigued by this idea, and have found uses for it in a couple1 of different cases2, I have found that in practice literate programming turns into a chore of maintaining two parallel narratives: the code itself, and the prose.
    • This has obviously limited its adoption.

Report by Anthropic reveals how AI has been narrowing the "front door" for new talent.

  • Why it's relevant: fits Design category
  • Summary:
    • Key Findings - We introduce a new measure of AI displacement risk, observed exposure, that combines theoretical LLM capability and real-world usage data, weighting automated (rather than augmentative) and work-related uses more heavily - AI is far from reaching its theoretical capability: actual coverage remains a fraction of what's feasible - Occupations with higher observed exposure are projected by the BLS to grow less through 2034 - Workers in the most exposed professions are more likely to be older, female, more educated, and higher-paid - We find no systematic increase in unemployment for highly exposed workers since late 2022, though we find suggestive evidence that hiring of younger workers has slowed in exposed occupations Introduction The rapid diffusion of AI is generating a wave of research measuring and forecasting its impacts on labor markets.
    • But the track record of past approaches gives reason for humility.
    • For example, a prominent attempt to measure job offshorability identified roughly a quarter of US jobs as vulnerable, but a decade on, most of those jobs maintained healthy employment growth.

  • Summary:
    • Software isn’t dying, but it is becoming more honest Have you heard?

    • But while I agree that the subscription-based billing side of SaaS is reaching its expiration date, I’ve started to believe that’s actually a good thing.

A different path to success for product makers.

  • Why it's relevant: fits Design category
  • Summary:
    • Five years ago, we pushed the first !Boring apps out into the world.
    • I had sold my first company and left my cushy job to confront an underlying tension in software: #1 We were using more and more software and #2 it was making us miserable.
    • Yet most software designers seemed resigned to live with the dissonance—telling ourselves we’re doing good for the world while slowly enshittifying it.
