What Programming will Look Like in 2028
By 2028, I imagine we’ll be looking at the UI of the final product and asking for changes directly from an agent that will be embedded into it as a ‘dev listener.’ Things will be developed on demand, tested, and then ‘activated.’ There will be no pushing to a repo. Repos and staging environments (CI)…

Will “SaaS” Mean Anything in 5 Years?
I have this feeling that legislators will go absolutely anal control-freak in the coming years, creating all sorts of complexities and bureaucracies imaginable, affecting all industries at once.

I know the AI I don’t want
I don’t know the AI that I want. I prefer to wait for a big surprise. I’m assuming it’s going to be a very positive one. I know for sure the AI I don’t want. I’ve got to the conclusion after not much thinking about it. I don’t want an AI that makes tyrants intelligent.…

There will be huge changes
That is all we know by now. I have been telling my kids the exact same thing PG says about AI to his own kids.

Folding Reality with AI
Life is beginning to imitate art in a very sophisticated way now. Samuel Khan — the founder of Khan Academy — presents the new AI assistant the company is rolling out soon within its learning platform. At this point in the presentation he gives an example of student who wants to interact with Jay Gatsby,…
