Like a lot of people, I’ve found that AI is terrible for my sleep schedule. In the past I’d wake up briefly at 4 or 4:30 in the morning to have a sip of water or use the bathroom; now I have trouble going back to sleep. I could be doing things. Before I would get a solid 7-8 hours a night; now I’m lucky when I get 6. I’ve largely stopped fighting it: now when I’m rolling around restlessly in bed at 5:07am with ideas to feed my AI coding agents, I just get up and start my day.
The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription
I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most of these things. …
No Coding Before 10am | Michael Bloch
Engineering is no longer about writing code. Here is one startup's playbook for building in the AI agent era.
The Eternal Sloptember
I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. The output is broken, but in a way that’s getting harder and harder to detect. Which is exactly what you’d expect from an increasingly accurate statistical model.

I haven't asked her, but I bet Margaret Hamilton feels right at home bossing Claude around.
Andrew Ng: The Biggest Opportunities in AI Aren't Where You Think
The AI Industry Has a Major Problem: Most People Aren’t Freaks Who Want an AI Agent Running Their Whole Life
There's a problem for AI agents like Meta's Muse: ordinary people don't seem very interested in what they're offering.
Strix the Stateful Agent
Meet Strix. I built Strix initially just as a hack project, but it’s become a tremendous help. But also, it’s gotten a little weird at times. Strix is a stateful agent. An AI that remembers long after the conversation is finished.

AI's coding ability is outpacing our ability to wield it effectively. That gap closes in levels — 8 of them. Here's the progression from tab complete to autonomous agent teams.
