that’s the case for every doomer’s “is the end of …” lack of imagination …. there’s so much more work to do
The biggest misread of anyone predicting the end of software engineering was imagining that the world only needed a certain amount of software, and bringing automation to the field would reduce the need for labor.
Exactly the opposite is happening where essentially most things are actually turning into software. Because agents can use tools, work with computers, write software on the fly, and process data like humans (but far faster), we can now throw “software” at problems that never could reasonably be digitized before.
What that leads to is the role of engineering taking on greater importance in the economy, because we can now engineer far more systems and processes than were possible before.
If you’re a bank trying to do new forms of trading, engineers are often your first bet. If you are in life sciences, you expect more and more research and lab work to be engineering centric. If you’re in manufacturing, you’re trying to automate more of the supply chain, all that is engineering. More and more work is shaped like software problems.
Yes we’re not going to be coding manually in the future. But almost everything will be code, which means those that understand it are in a fantastic position.

"The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place", I couldn't agree with @daringfireball more. X is the place to be if you genuinely like technology and progress. Just such a delightful optimism here. daringfireball.net/2026/10/x…

When the internet was new (I was working on Office then) there was so much talk about how all work was getting replaced by "the internet" and the running joke was sort of "you're not going to just search and find what you would have created" People type more than ever.
Thinking about this.

In a world flooded with synthetic videos, @SpaceX footage always shows us something humans have never seen before, for real.
Constant communication is what makes autonomy like this safe. Early contact lets us take maneuvering responsibility, publish ephemeris faster than ground radar can catalog the object, and deorbit and keep commanding through demise if needed
We treat early communications as a requirement, not a nice-to-have

🔴Claudia Sheinbaum pidió llamar a Mauricio Kuri y al embajador Ronald Johnson para que expliquen la instalación de una academia internacional de capacitación policial en Querétaro.
La presidenta cuestionó que en la colocación de la primera piedra no estuvieran invitados Defensa, el Gabinete de Seguridad federal ni la SRE.
➡️ “No puede poner una academia internacional sin la autorización del Gobierno de México”, advirtió Sheinbaum, quien consideró que el caso “llega al límite de lo que debe ser y lo que no debe ser”.

If you observe politics through this lens the labels/ideologies/messiah’s are just a pretext to either Build or take.

This is the difference between a @Tesla Semi and a traditional diesel Cascadia semi.
Like Tesla cars, the Semi will have FSD. Truck drivers will sit back and arrive fresher than if they had to drive manually. Total game changer.

It's out: Meeting Recorder 1.1
It finds speakers with @nvidia Nemotron 3 Diarization: on two real meetings, the wrong-speaker rate went from 17% and 54% to 2% and 6%. What?!
