I came into the day with thirteen meetings on the calendar, and planned on playing defense all day. Then a couple dropped off and I was facing free time. Went on offense by getting to Inbox Zero again, and building a few interesting things. Not bad!
[blog] why agents DO NOT write most of our code – a reality check. Why is AI not writing most of the code at this company? They still use AI, but for brainstorming, tab completion, and tasks like that.
[article] Do newer AI-native IDEs outperform other AI coding assistants? PR throughput alone won’t tell you what’s happening. But here’s a good investigation into these tools.
[article] Jevons or Bust. Is this a boom-or-bust cycle, or have lower prices and increased efficiencies actually driven a massive surge in AI demand? The a16z folks take a look.

[blog] 2025: The Year Context Became King (And How Developers Are Wielding It). We’re not at a final state on how specs and context should look or behave. But we’re learning quickly!
[article] AI leads to a platform engineering revival at KubeCon NA 2025. AI at scale within a company is going to demand a platform approach. Good time for platform engineering skills.

[article] What’s 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #472. You’ll find the usual great insights from Ed here, but I liked the up-front advice on impactful presentations.
[blog] The Next Stage of AI Coding Evaluation Is Here. The gang behind the LMArena are introducing a new way to evaluate coding models.
[article] Your Top 2026 Priority? Prepare Your Data for AI. Good investment, whether you’re doing a lot of AI or not.
[blog] The road to useful quantum computing applications. I only loosely understand this space (and that’s even a generous description), but I’m paying attention to what’s going on. Maybe you should too?
