Have you heard the news?

• AI is replacing all developers next week - or in 3 or 6 or 12 or 18 months!
• And somehow at the same time, AI is helping developers get jobs by “cheating” in tech interviews!

Don’t those two things directly oppose and contradict each other? But I digress.

The thing is, AI replacing developers is straight up impossible, at least in the currently deployed LLM architectures. The idea is nonsensical. I need to write a blog post detailing both why it’s impossible and why people continue to shout it from the rooftops, and I think I’ll do that next.

It’s amazing how quickly 4 years can go by. But I’m back to blogging, and promise to follow this post with more regular entries going forward. In fact, I already have a technical topic scheduled for later this week, and plan to return to Engineering Management topics in the coming weeks as well.

So what have I been doing since my last blog post over 4 years ago? LOTS. Let’s talk about it.
