GCSE grades explained 👇
Wondering how grades 9–1 compare to the old A*–G system?
Here's a quick guide to help make sense of the current grading system.
Save it now so you've got it to hand on Results Day.

O CEO da Anthropic disse que "coding vai acabar primeiro, depois toda a engenharia de software."
E está contratando 454 engenheiros a US$ 320k-405k.
Todo mundo gritando "hipocrisia." Ninguém olhou os dados.
O Bureau of Labor Statistics acaba de publicar as projeções 2033:
→ Software developers: +17,9% de crescimento. 327.900 novas vagas.
→ Computer programmers (codificadores puros): -3%. Em declínio.
Leia isso de novo.
A profissão de "escrever código" está morrendo. A profissão de "arquitetar sistemas" está explodindo. São duas coisas completamente diferentes.
Os engenheiros da Anthropic contaram ao Dario que não escrevem mais código. Eles deixam o Claude escrever. Eles editam. Revisam. Arquitetam. Ficaram mais rápidos, não ficaram obsoletos.
Isso já aconteceu 5 vezes na história da computação:
→ Compiladores substituíram assembly. "Programadores vão sumir."
→ Frameworks substituíram boilerplate. "Programadores vão sumir."
→ Cloud substituiu gerenciamento de servidores. "Programadores vão sumir."
Resultado de cada vez: o número de engenheiros cresceu.
O pool global de software engineers foi de 5 milhões em 2010 para 28,7 milhões hoje.
O headcount de engenharia da Meta subiu 19% desde janeiro de 2022.
Google subiu 16%.
Apple, 13%.
Todas essas empresas já usam Copilot e Claude Code diariamente.
Estão contratando mais, não menos.
O padrão que ninguém quer reconhecer:
Quando software fica mais barato de construir, mais problemas se tornam viáveis de resolver com software.
Uma startup que precisava de 10 engenheiros agora precisa de 3. Mas 50 empresas que não podiam construir nada agora podem.
O denominador encolhe. O numerador explode.
Isso se chama Paradoxo de Jevons. Quando um recurso se torna mais eficiente, o consumo total aumenta.
Aconteceu com energia.
Aconteceu com bandwidth.
Está acontecendo com código.
Cada geração de "coding morreu" cria dois grupos: os que congelam e os que constroem 10x mais com as novas ferramentas.
O segundo grupo venceu todas as vezes.
Anthropic has 454 open roles. The company is hiring software engineers at $320K-$405K. Their CEO, Dario, said three months ago that coding is "going away first, then all of software engineering."
The paradox resolves instantly.
Dario's engineers told him they don't write code anymore. They let Claude write it. They edit. They review. They architect. They didn't lose their jobs. They got faster. Anthropic grew from a small research lab to 1,500 employees in four years, adding engineers the entire time.
This has played out five times in computing history. Compilers replaced assembly. Frameworks replaced boilerplate. Cloud replaced server management. Every prediction was the same: most programmers won't be needed. Every result was the same: the number of engineers grew.
The global software engineer pool went from roughly 5 million in 2010 to 28.7 million today. BLS projects 17% growth in US software developer roles through 2033, adding 304,000 positions. The pool is projected to hit 45 million by 2030.
When building software gets cheaper, more problems become worth solving with software. A startup that needed 10 engineers now needs 3. But 50 companies that couldn't afford to build at all now can. The denominator shrinks. The numerator explodes.
Meta's engineering headcount is up 19% from January 2022. Google's is up 16%. Apple, 13%. These companies adopted AI coding tools years ago. They're using Copilot and Claude Code daily. They're hiring more engineers than before those tools existed.
Every generation of "coding is dead" content creates two cohorts: engineers who freeze up, and engineers who build 10x more with the new tools. The second group has won every single time.

When you use a new technology, you’re constrained by decisions made in its design.
Churchill understood this! (He was referring to the design of Parliament).

We want to believe that technology is a neutral container for ideas. It isn’t. It changes the way we think and engage with content.

Handwriting bias is a real problem. Some essays are really hard to read & get lower marks as a result.
Our latest feature lets you toggle between the original handwritten script & a transcription.

Disney shared a new short film titled "The Last Verse" that features a new verse to ‘It's a Small World’ written by Richard Sherman. Sherman shared the verse with Bob Iger in the summer 2023 as his final gift to the studio.

Are you one of over 1m people who overpaid their student loan last year? If so you can get your money, often £100s, back. My quick video briefing (including if it’s right for you to claim)…

A free, online, hard-core Machine Learning book!
If you are interested in understanding how Machine Learning algorithms work, this is for you.
Great resource if you are one of those who cares about how the magic happens.

To start with Machine Learning:
1. Learn Python
2. Start practicing using Jupyter
There are two main deep learning frameworks that everyone uses:
• TensorFlow
• PyTorch
Don't overthink this. Pick one of them and start practicing with it. I promise you'll end up learning both at some point.
You'll find many tutorials online but I usually struggle putting a good plan together, so I prefer courses that hold my hand from start to end.
Here are two of those programs:
• Introduction to Machine Learning with TensorFlow.
bit.ly/4fFu0wk
• Introduction to Machine Learning with PyTorch.
bit.ly/46JHQd0
These are the same program but one uses TensorFlow and the other uses PyTorch. Choose the one you prefer.
After you are done with this, you'll have accomplish something very important:
1. You'd have a large background on classical machine learning
2. You'd have a bunch of solved problems under your belt
Now, it's time to go much deeper. Here are some of the most advanced classes you can take:
• Udacity's Deep Learning Topics with Computer Vision and NLP
• MIT 6.S191 Introduction to Deep Learning
• DS-GA 1008 Deep Learning
• Udacity's Computing With Natural Language
• UC Berkeley Full Stack Deep Learning
• UC Berkeley CS 182 Deep Learning
• Cornell Tech CS 5787 Applied Machine Learning
I also love books! Look at the attached image. Those are some of my favorite machine learning books that I think you should consider.
Finally, keep these three ideas in mind:
1. Start by working on solved problems so you can find help whenever you get stuck.
2. Use AI to summarize complex concepts and generate questions you can use to practice.
3. Find a community and share your work. Ask questions and help others.
During this time, you'll deal with a lot. Sometimes, you will feel it's impossible to keep up with everything happening, and you'll be right.
Here are the good news:
Most people understand a tiny fraction of the world of Machine Learning. You don't need more to build a fantastic career in the space.
Focus on finding your path, and Write. More. Code.
That's how you win.
