Software is dead
I sit here wondering what to submit for the upcoming YC batch. My whole life I’ve been gearing up to be a software engineer. Because software, at least at the time of my childhood, was still in rapid development. We had to do lots with downloaded programs, mailed letters, written documents. But now, everything has… — read more

AI is a threat to humanity
A bit of an insane title, but this is a point which is constantly brought up in social media to where I can’t ignore it. I think there’s a lot more psychological intricacies to this topic than big tech companies like to give credit for. Ever since AI started to have any resemblance of human… — read more

GPT-5 is not even close to replacing software engineers
I’ve been optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence for quite some time. For the past few months, I’ve let AI drive my engineering workflows in different ways.

Veo 3 and the future of media

It completely cuts out the middle man to access or manipulate information – the middle man being you, the user. No longer do you have to click and scroll google results for a search, it’s just… — read more

Today’s Software Engineer
It seems like AI is causing quite a stir in the software world. Companies are realizing that for a lot of basic tasks, they can just throw generative AI at it instead of hiring people. This is causing hiring to slow down in the software industry, making it especially hard for people coming right out… — read more

70% of the way
AI is interesting. It can make an entire mobile app with just a sentence, but right when you tell it to fix a bug, it spins in circles for hours. This seems to be the problem with using AI for development. It can get 70% of the way there, but crossing the finish line is… — read more

o3 + o4 mini review
It seems like every day that goes by, a new AI model comes out. Today (or, yesterday) is certainly no exception, with the release of the new o3 and o4 mini models by ChatGPT. I’ve always been fascinated with new models, and I always try to learn something new every time Twitter explodes over one… — read more

How AI will make apps obsolete
AI, in its current form, is alright. Like I mentioned yesterday, it certainly has the potential – albeit, untapped – to transform a lot of what we do. The potential of AI is certainly there – but what does that mean for the apps we currently use? And, is there some world where AI takes… — read more
