Lately, I’ve been trying to put all “Copilot” pieces on a mental map. That’s not as simple, which is not that surprising, but, even if I am still unable to completely untangle it, the picture is becoming more clear. Basically, it’s this: Description: this is a possibly in-accurate capture of the relationships between Copilot, Work… Read More »
Back in April, when my paid Claude / ChatGPT subscription started to hit limits more often than I wanted that to happen, I somehow thought “and why don’t I try to host it all myself”. After all, how difficult could it be… just set up a server, write relatively simple software, and ditch those subscriptions.… Read More »
I am sure you’ve heard about razors, you may have even tried them (and who am I to judge you for that?) However, the reason I wanted to mention them in this post is that there is a very specific pricing strategy that was adopted by King C. Gillette: The strategy is still valid today,… Read More »
You have probably heard that story about a software developer buidling a replacement for Adobe’s software over a weekend by now. My personal reaction to seeing those announcments was somewhere in between “Holy crap what a feat!” and “Wait a second, has it been exaggerated, perhaps, even if a little?” Don’t get me wrong, coding… Read More »
First of all, this is an image of me. OK, not quite an image of me, it’s a drawing of me. Yeah, not quite either… it’s a drawing of me when I finally hit the button to publish this post and left the room. And there is supposed to be a chair somewhere, and some… Read More »
In the previous post, I showed off what can be done with the help of AI coding assistants quickly. And then I thought “well, it’s great I can see files and execute power shell remotely through my agent, but can I actually come up with some sort of CUA? And what would it take?”. It… Read More »
For better or worse, I’m pretty sure AI coding agents are not only capable of replacing developers in some distant future, they can do it now. Below is a project that cost me about 10 USD in Deepseek API usage, about 10 days of sleep-deprived nights since I had to tell the agent what to… Read More »
It seems that junior developers hiring is way down from where it used to be based on articles like this one, for example: https://byteiota.com/developer-hiring-crisis-2026-40-worse-junior-drops-73/ That’s attributed to the rise of AI-assisted development, and I guess that makes sense. Of course the problem that is often mentioned in the context of these stats is that, without… Read More »
Anthropic published a research paper back in March, and it has a nice diagram of the theoretical vs observed AI exposure by occupational category. For example, Computer & Math category is highly exposed in theory (AI can do a lot there), but, in practice, AI is underused there still. I am not going to tell… Read More »
To be honest, I don’t really know how and what to write about Power Platform anymore. I mean, of course, Power Platform is still there, I still do work in that space, I see a lot of benefits to having the ability to call all those connectors, I still think Power Apps make it easier… Read More »
