Me, getting one-shotted by super persuasive super intelligences
So many people are going to get one-shotted by super persuasive super intelligences and I might be one of them

Life in the Valdheim valley never stops. Peasants till fields, merchants drive their caravans, robber baron plans raids, and you are hired to bring order to this land. (setting of the demo campaign)

That's what it takes for people to notice your announcement these days
Real life, baby

Close enough! @ID_AA_Carmack do you think can we get a floating skateboard next?
That demo involved a non trivial chance of embarrassing failure! 🫡 I’m only going for the baseline model. At this point in my life, rocket bunny hops are out of my comfort zone.

I was pretty confident in AI between 20 and 27, now I'm only confident a few times a year after some drinks with friends

"moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration" Couldn't sum up 2026 better
We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

Really surprised in a good way by this keynote by Odersky. IMHO it's exactly the right way to approach agent written code: pragmatic verification, strong reviewable interfaces, declared effects.

The Silicon Valley tv show should be required watching for anyone in tech

As cool as it is, 6500+ exoplanets have been found so far, and that's only the confirmed and published data. I'm sure we'll get to 10000 by October next year, and the bottleneck is publishing, not finding them.
we should be more ambitious

Increasingly starting to realize this too, with horror
If your company or startup is running engineering with everyone using their own license of Codex/CC then you're going to be completely left behind by fast moving teams who are using cloud-based agents. Local dev is like banging rocks together and grunting versus being on a rocket. Seriously, just pay the money for something like @DevinAI, @AmpCode, @FactoryAI, etc. Do NOT try to build your own "code factory". Props to @DaleSpoonemore for taking @HelloUntangle to the next level on this. Fun to watch.

Software production always wanted to be a factory. Think of all the assembling, building, pipelining we have been doing. Now that one more thing is being automated it's suddenly too much?
Software factory? I don't want to work at a factory. Do you?

A lot of people don’t realize they’re 5 hours of vibe coding with Opus 5.5 away from changing their entire financial lives

It's cool that finally we have found a language that explains to a computer precisely what we want it to do

They were always mainly used for status games during interviews and code reviews. Good riddance.
do you remember software design patterns we don't give a fuck about them anymore

This is what I want Free Companies to feel like. Large companies prepared for battle, forests of pikes and lances, blackpowder smoke in the air, bright banners floating above.

Booking is hiring freelance EMs now? Did they completely give up on employment contracts in Amsterdam?
