Leave it to the @aiDotEngineer team to come up with a puzzle that stumps frontier models. ๐Ÿคฃ @swyx @liamcbride โ€“ at Belmont, CA
Dad brought home the @aiDotEngineer Speaker Dinner gift. ChatGPT was great at making Godot games for AI Engineer Kids Day, so I used it on the puzzle. GPT-5.5 thought 6m18s: โ€œ2x3 rectangle.โ€ โฌ›โฌ›โฌ› โฌ›โฌ›โฌ› Mom stared 1 min: โ€œmake a cube.โ€ Use AI for coding, not thinking ๐Ÿคฃ

Amazing AI Engineer Kids Day! ๐Ÿš€ Kids learned Machine Learning, Claude Code & Codex, then built games like corn mazes ๐ŸŒฝ and banana simulators ๐ŸŒ in just a few hours. So inspiring to see their creativity unlocked with AI. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป๐ŸŒˆ Thanks @aiDotEngineer, @Neo4j & @catsandtech! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Great to be back at #JJUGCCC โ˜•๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต @steveonjava and I spoke about AI First Programming and rethinking CS education through our AI First book series with @Apress. ๐Ÿ“Š I also shared US data on CS grads struggling after ChatGPT, while Japanโ€™s hiring picture seems very different.

Had a great interview with John Furrier at @mcpsummit in NYC. We covered a lot of topics on open source AI, Kubernetes and AI deployments, and #Graph technology as the Knowledge Layer for AI, but we got into something I am super passionate about, which is improving AI education in our schools. youtu.be/56CY7AiUnG8?si=tdOLโ€ฆ I linked the video at the start of the segment, but I think a great quote for my message is: "This isn't a failing of our students, this is a failing of our education system." We are graduating a generation of computer scientists who are not fluent in AI tools and therefore don't have marketable skills for where the software industry is heading. The first introduction to coding should be prompting, not Python syntax. And students should be given token budgets, not textbooks.

It was great speaking at Open Source Summit Japan! At first I wasn't sure how my first lightning talk would go, but actually it had more impact than a regular session. Many people reached out to me with compliments. I hope I inspired parents to try fun technology with their kids.
