Developers don't read marketing sites. They read docs. Bad docs = lost users, yet most companies treat documentation as an afterthought. Collaborated with @readtechnically on this piece about what separates good docs from great ones: read.technically.dev/p/whats-docume…

Steve Jobs (or was it Sun Tzu?) once said "if the product needs a manual, the design has failed." Well, Steve would hate modern software. Everything from Gmail to developer APIs needs docs—and nowhere is this more true than dev tools and infra. A thread on documentation:

I've been getting requests to explain what an "architecture" is in the context of AI: AI architectures are basically model blueprints. they are the sum of all the decisions you make about what algorithms, data, sizes, and other stuff go into said model.

It’s 2025, and there’s only one question on every company’s mind: “How do I add as many mentions of AI as possible to our website?” These “AI Makeovers” have been plaguing the nation. We need a hero to bring them to justice

The reason that your engineers are taking forever to build your feature is probably code reviews. They wrote the code, but it's stuck in some kafkaesque review process that doesn't do much anyway. And AI generated code is about to blow all of this up in a big way

So @MistralAI is in the news today for releasing their first reasoning modal, Magistral. But what IS a reasoning model, exactly? How do these things, like @OpenAI o3, actually work? 🥖

I wrote about @v0 a couple of months ago, and framed it as an app for building apps. But the underlying model that Vercel built for v0 (the brain) has gotten so good that you can now use it in other tools, to do as you wish

This might seem basic at first glance (OpenAI adding existing features to the API) but it's actually a much bigger deal. They are totally changing up the philosophy of how developers should use model APIs, to prepare for a world of agents:

1/ My hot take: LLMs haven’t transformed software engineering yet, they’ve just augmented a human-centric SDLC. For a future where autonomous agents will be writing most of our code, we need a completely redesigned SDLC, from IDEs to CI. A thread on what this will look like…
