Software innovation might be freezing in place—and AI could be to blame. Theo Browne points out that Copilot and ChatGPT often return React-style code even for Solid or Elixir projects. Why? Because they’ve seen React a million times more. Python 3 took a decade to overtake Python 2. If that transition had to happen today, would our dependence on AI suggestions keep us from making the jump?

"Finally, the most accessible option is “no-code” products like Replit and Lovable, which live in the web browser and are optimized for non-engineers. You can brainstorm a quick prompt like, “Make me a website to display the new albums I listen to each month,” and within minutes, get a functioning website and URL.

This approach has been dubbed “vibe coding” by Andrej Karpathy, an AI researcher who was on the founding team of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla. AI coding programs “are getting too good. I barely even touch the keyboard,” he wrote on X.

There has been a lot of speculation about how AI coding will help companies to create software in a leaner, faster way—and how it could threaten jobs for junior engineers. In April, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that up to 30% of code at Microsoft was already written by AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expects AI to code at the level of a “midlevel engineer” by the end of the year.

But the most important effect of inexpensive AI coding tools may be to bring software development to the masses, no computer science degree or billion-dollar revenue plan required. To borrow an analogy from the author and programmer Robin Sloan, AI might enable more people to program like a “home cook”—having fun making apps for their own household and community—instead of relying on fast-food operations that churn out generic apps at industrial scale."

"... AI code assistants invent package names. In a recent study, researchers found that about 5.2 percent of package suggestions from commercial models didn't exist, compared to 21.7 percent from open source or openly available models.

Running that code should result in an error when importing a non-existent package. But miscreants have realized that they can hijack the hallucination for their own benefit."

The Register · LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everythingBy Thomas Claburn

"It’s not that hard to build a fully functioning, code-editing agent.

It seems like it would be. When you look at an agent editing files, running commands, wriggling itself out of errors, retrying different strategies - it seems like there has to be a secret behind it.

There isn’t. It’s an LLM, a loop, and enough tokens. It’s what we’ve been saying on the podcast from the start. The rest, the stuff that makes Amp so addictive and impressive? Elbow grease.

But building a small and yet highly impressive agent doesn’t even require that. You can do it in less than 400 lines of code, most of which is boilerplate.

I’m going to show you how, right now. We’re going to write some code together and go from zero lines of code to “oh wow, this is… a game changer.”

I urge you to follow along. No, really. You might think you can just read this and that you don’t have to type out the code, but it’s less than 400 lines of code. I need you to feel how little code it is and I want you to see this with your own eyes in your own terminal in your own folders.

Here’s what we need:

- Go
- Anthropic API key that you set as an environment variable, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
