I look forward to diving in and learning more about AI and how to use it to create and enhance software.

Another Great Year of Coaching Young Folks in Cybersecurity

Thanks to Timothy, Brandon, and Jordan for their time and effort into working with the students and helping them level up this year.

Thanks to Shannon and the Codecraft Foundation for providing us with the support we need to keep the program running.

Thanks to Joe, Tina, Mary, and Wendi for providing us with a space to do our practices and competitions, for keeping the computers and network maintained, and for loading the software needed for practices and competitions.

Thanks to all the families and students who participated and helped out all year long. They are an incredible group of people to coach.

The Deep Blue

We coined a new term on the Oxide and Friends podcast last month (primary credit to Adam Leventhal) covering the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to the encroachment of generative AI into their field of work.

We’re calling it Deep Blue.

— Simon Willison

I’ve been thinking about the "Deep Blue" from various perspectives lately.

  • Will I remain relevant as a software engineer?
  • Will my teenage son, aspiring to be a software engineer, face easier or more challenging job prospects compared to my own experience?
  • Does pursuing a college degree in software engineering still make sense for him (or anyone else aspiring to enter the field)?
  • Will I be able to secure employment in a software-related role for the next 10-20 years?

Those are just a few off the top of the dome.
