Harvard researchers studied 718 companies and found AI coding agents increased lines of code by 30%, but no major increase in completed tasks or projects. Meanwhile, review time rose 49%. Generating code faster hasn’t translated into completing more work. The bottleneck has moved to code reviews.

I look at this graph, and I see the benefits of worldwide public health efforts and investments. It's hard not to wonder what this figure will look like in 10 years because of DOGE.

The world faces two energy problems: hundreds of millions lack access to energy, and most of our energy still produces greenhouse gas emissions. The first energy problem of the world is the problem of energy poverty. People in very poor countries have very low emissions.
