This is excellent, one of my favorite long-form pieces on agentic engineering - includes several non-obvious ways in which leaning on coding agents can catch you out

I just published a deep-dive into the 250-hour build behind syntaqlite, a SQLite formatter and LSP I built using AI agents. AI agents were the only reason built this after 8 years of wanting but there's a psychological toll to AI-assisted engineering. The post-mortem: lalitm.com/post/buildin...

Reminder: code review is not "to catch mistakes", it is a tool for understanding to limit bus/lottery factor first and foremost. When code is written (if you're lucky) by one human, having the second human abdicate their judgment to the machine is actively harmful to your team's code understanding.

also, the one i'm hearing which is most insidious is the “AI code/peer review” use-case: that's how you deskill people but we'll be told that humans are still in the loop! and if they ever were skilled they are actively becoming deskilled by the “AI review” should be obvious, but zero talk re: it

New longform @inkandswitch.com essay! 📜 Malleable Software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps by me, @joshuahhh.com, @pvh.ca and @seaofclouds.com inkandswitch.com/essay/mallea... It's about why people need agency over their software tools, and how to make that happen.

Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps

The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can...

Over the last few weeks I've been incrementally merging infrastructure for AIO into postgres. Just now I finally merged the first actual user of AIO ("streaming reads" now can use AIO). It's been a long long road. I've been, with a lot of help along the way, working on this since some time in 2019.
