Shoving non-deterministic AI model outputs into constrained execution environments with deterministic feedback works great. I'm less sure it will work for other contexts.

It's wonderful to me that designers - even legendary designers - still use sketches and drawings to convey ideas every day. Yes, CAD has suprassed sketches in many ways but there's something so quick, utilitarian, and useful in sketching.

Want to turn your dev work into great content? As you build, make commits that capture meaningful steps. Write messages that describe what changed and why. When you’re done, your commit history will serve as an outline for a tutorial or blog post.

I shared a few more notes here, including this hopefully reassuring note for anyone afraid of the impact this will have on their career as a programmer simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/29/...
For anyone who sees this as a threat to their livelihood as programmers, I encourage you to think more about this section:

It is easy to create systems that appear to behave correctly but have unclear runtime behavior when relying on agents. For instance, the AI doesn’t fully comprehend threading or goroutines. If you don’t keep the bad decisions at bay early it, you won’t be able to operate it in a stable manner later.

Here’s an example: I asked it to build a rate limiter. It “worked” but lacked jitter and used poor storage decisions. Easy to fix if you know rate limiters, dangerous if you don’t.

In order to use these tools at this level you need to know the difference between goroutines and threads. You need to understand why a rate limiter might want to"jitter" and what that actually means. You need to understand what "rate limiting" is and why you might need it!

These tools do not replace programmers. They allow us to apply our expertise at a higher level and amplify the value we can provide to other people.
