My next Universals paper [0] is out today! Unleashing the Power of End-User Programmable AI As a demonstration of what can be accomplished with contemporary LLMs, this paper outlines the high-level design of an AI-first, program-synthesis framework built around a new…
Do you miss that spark you felt the first time code you wrote leapt off the screen and did something cool? I do. So I traced it back to its roots and wrote about why our craft still matters, even as AI types for us. annievella.com/posts/the-hear…
A greater theory of system design: what’s wrong with modernity and post-modernity, how to survive the coming avalanche, and how to fix the major problems we are facing. Part one: Systems are Models. But what’s a Model?
Dario Amodei never tires of outlining the serious impact on AI. Many now see him as an AI doomer, but he is simply trying to warn us about what is coming. Why is this so important? Let me explain:
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “Those of us in tech cannot have a tin year to what is this going to mean for the average person” Dario Amodei is now joined by the Palantir CEO, who warns of major upheavals: “We have to will it to be, because otherwise we’re going to have deep…
Eleven v3 Alpha is a ChatGPT moment for text-to-speech. This AI model turns plain text into studio-quality voice acting in 70 + languages expressively. 10 wild examples:
Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!
We're excited to announce our #YOWTLS25 keynote @codefrenzy! She'll explore AI-assisted development's long-term impact, why keeping systems & orgs simple still matters, & how short-term gains turn into long-term costs in 'The Duality of AI in Software Engineering'
Many of us became software engineers because we found our identity in building things. Not managing things. Not overseeing things. Building things. With our own hands, our own minds, our own code. But that identity is being challenged by AI. annievella.com/posts/the-soft…
digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/second… Good to see the EU lean into AI innovation with these six AI Factories.
Last week I saw the future of how we'll all work with AI. Logan (Google's AI Studio lead) was showing me Gemini's new“real time streaming” feature. He had his code editor open, and casually said via voice 'hey, should I change this function?' The clip below is wild - you have…

Ever tried fixing a system only to have it push back? That’s the SDLC. Optimise one part, and new constraints pop up elsewhere. With AI coding assistants speeding up dev, we’re seeing new challenges emerge. Where are you feeling the pushback? Read more: annievella.com/posts/the-sdlc…
7/ Appreciating How Far AI Code Editors Have Come Whatever tool you choose, we have to appreciate how much AI code editors have improved the developer experience. These tools have made complex tasks faster, streamlined workflows, and eliminated tedious manual work. It’s…
I've tried all (24) AI coding agents & IDEs 😵💫 [Cursor, Softgen, Windsurf, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Claude, AmazonQ, Pear, Devin, Github Spark, IDX, Webdraw, Tempo, Cline, Continue, Databutton, Base44, Qodo, Aider] The Vibe Coding giga-thread:
DeepSeek R1 and V3 are now available in Windsurf, fully hosted on Western servers. First coding agent to use tooling with r1!
Learning to use an AI coding assistant takes hands-on experience and deliberate practice like any other skill - but it’s so worth it! Read my experiences using Windsurf over the last 2 months - annievella.com/posts/what-its…
