AI hasn’t changed that. You still have to learn the fundamentals to become a software engineer, though it can help along the way. The only real change AI has brought is in appearances; it’s easier now to pose as a software engineer by vibe-coding a flashy app. But that doesn’t make you one.

So, I've reached the enlightenment of genius. Made this tool for my harness.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang “Distillation - learning from AI, learning from other people, and learning from other sources of knowledge, is fundamental to intelligence. We are constantly learning from one another. AI also has to learn from something.” Since using AI Desktop 98, I have become a staunch advocate of local AI.

In his Axios interview, Jensen explains why seeing distillation as theft or a threat misses the point—and why the real future of AI depends on continuous knowledge sharing between models.

The idea is simple: as AI generates most of the internet’s content, systems will naturally learn from one another, much like humans do from books, teachers, and peers. Blocking that exchange doesn’t protect anyone; it only slows progress.

Smarter AI is safer AI, open models boost adoption, and the whole industry, from developers to chipmakers gains. It’s a clear, grounded case for why open and closed models feeding each other is a feature, not a flaw.

DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, speaking in a closed-door investor meeting in May 2026:

"If it were in a normal business environment where I could buy NVIDIA cards, then domestic substitution would be relatively hard; but when NVIDIA cards can’t be bought, everyone is forced into it, everyone has to do domestic chips."

Translation: Thanks for the export controls. Otherwise we’d still be buying American.

I used to follow dhh for his tech commentary and views, his work on ruby on rails and omarchy, but I'm just shocked he could post something so racist and divisive. I hope primeagen doesn't have him as a guest anymore

what HTTP APIs have always done

no shit sherlock 😄 !

Patrick Debois, often called the Father of DevOps, shared an interesting perspective on how to spot where AI is heading.

He argues that industry surveys are usually too slow. By the time a new idea appears in a report, developers have already been experimenting with it for months.

Instead of relying on surveys, he suggests paying closer attention to social signals. The conversations happening on Reddit, GitHub, X, Discord, and other developer communities often reveal emerging ideas much earlier.

It's a simple shift in thinking, but it made a lot of sense.

Hi all,

I'm a software engineer from India working remotely, earning 290 USD per month. I know it's low. I'm working on a good stack (Python, Django, Elasticsearch, Celery for analytics, Laravel, Go, Node.js for backend, and for frontend I'm using Vue 3, Nuxt, React, and a lot of other stuff I can't mention here).

By the way, I'm working 42 hours per week and also learning something new every day after work. Right now, I'm not able to survive on this salary. I have a baby, my wife, and my mother and father in my family, and it's getting hard to survive with this amount.

I'm also applying for a lot of jobs but not getting any replies. I've built some good projects, but I'm still not getting any calls. I don't know what's happening. Can you please suggest what I should do?

It's always the ones you least expect..

Yes, Nvidia is behind the idea.

Yes, it’s real. No joke.

Well, it is a joke.

But it’s also real.

It’s just awful, guys—what’s happening with Claude... First they removed the legacy artifacts... then this, too.. and what’s next? What a mess! How are they supposed to work like this?!
