Originally posted in Obics.io In a world where writing code became as fast as your thought, you would think it would be an equalizer among software developers. Being a senior or a highly performant coder would be less relevant because so much of what they learned over years is no longer applicable. But it seems that 10x developers didn’t disappear, they just changed. The super-performers now are those that can spend more tokens, manage multiple agents, and still produce quality code.

Originally posted in Obics.io I have been hearing of developers who run dozen agents in parallel and create 40 pull requests a day, but I never quite believed it myself. I was never able to do that because the mental overhead of multitasking was just too much for me. But in the last few weeks, I drastically changed the way I work as an experiment and I was able to do just that.

The annual Microsoft Build 2023 conference just occurred and it came with a truckload of announcements. This event is Microsoft’s developer-focused conference, and it’s usually about cloud services and developer platforms. But it’s not unusual for the conference to be used as a marketing opportunity, and this year wasn’t an exception. Microsoft marketed the hell out of Windows, Microsoft 365, and Bing among other products, and it did so with a singular focus on AI.
