Remembered this statistic brought up by @unclebobmartin:
"the number of programmers in the world doubles every five years"'
So... did this number just STOP in 2026? I mean if you define programmers narrowly as "people writing code by hand". This is the peak, right?
How do you know a person is using Claude Code? They'll tell you. In a comment. Like, in a thousand code comments.
Whooa a 2002 W3C draft actually proposed CSS rulesets in the style tag: w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css-style-…
Imagine we had this today

Playing around with an idea: responsive code.
The build script creates up to 5 versions of each code sample using Prettier, and a container query displays the right one.
Brotli means the filesize overhead is very small.

LLMs periodically producing hacks and hallucinations can be a good thing. It makes good programmers want to keep babysitting them, do reviewing sessions. Keeps them on their toes.
What if LLMs started hallucinating only, like, once in 6 months? Oh damn
I don't understand what everyone's on about, Fable is impossible to work with. It's as if it's sneakily trying to work against you, I've never faced this with any other model
Weird math:
1000x code writing speed
Split tasks into small reviewable steps
Each prompt 1.5-3 min "thinking" with high effort
Each step ~10 min reading by a dummy (me)
Plus idle time due to multitasking between 10 features
Equals... same time per feature as it has always been
Suddenly, being aware of "tech news" matters the most. It always did, but especially now. E.g. knowing what browsers ship is essential so that you can guide models to use new capabilities instead of doing old hacks. Knowing which new libs come out, following right ppl on X, etc.

PSA: when you wake up, reach for your phone immediately. Do NOT scroll Instagram reels. Send a good morning message. Not to your girlfriend, to Claude.
That way, you can start the clock for your 5 hour Claude Code usage limit while you freshen up and head to the office. At noon, the 5 hour window would have passed and the usage limit would reset. Then you can generate more shareholder value.
