I wrote a chess engine that beats real players. I still can't play chess.
Developers who hand their coding to AI are heading the same way: they can build the machine but can't play the game.

October 20 "Rust Is Amazing, as Long as Nobody Looks at It" - Fact-Checking DHH (Ep. 316)
DHH told Rails World that hand-written code is over, that HEY's backend is being AI-rewritten in Rust ("amazing, as long as you never look at it"), and that developer happiness no longer matters. This episode checks his statements.

October 13 AI coding agents have a Mythical Man-Month problem (Ep. 315)
Fifty years ago Fred Brooks showed why adding more people to a late project makes it later. Today we do the same thing with tokens — more context, more autonomy, same myth, different currency.

June 23AI is the Concorde of our time (Ep. 309)
AI is technically extraordinary and economically precarious. OpenAI spent $1.35 for every dollar it earned in 2025. Global data center investment now surpasses global oil supply spending. We have built something genuinely remarkable and we do not yet know if it can sustain its own weight.

May 30The propaganda algorithm (Ep. 308)
Modern propaganda isn’t random noise. It’s a repeatable, engineered algorithm that starts with ideology, weaponizes identity, and manufactures conflict. Once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it.
