I have selected some news from the web dev world to share.
🪤 The AI Layoff Trap😭 Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career🤖 Show-me : Compact visual representations for coding agents📚 Use a local model to code for free
Have a great week.
The AI shift is happening so quickly, only aPigouvian automation tax can make things right. I am always on a pessimist side so I think. It will be pretty ugly and worse before things will be better.
Interesting take, personnally I think the field is going to change a lot. But at the end if you don’t know the basic, knowing how to navigate in a codebase, having a view on the global architecture, you will be lacking a lot of skills and the end result will show. I think it will be another golden age for passionate developper who still want to build high quality software. I think we will have a gap between A LOT of average slop project and a few software who will be excellent.
Making the output of AI more readable with this skills.
How to use a local model to code with Vibe CLI from Mistral, I recommend to use AlexsJones/llmfit to check which model can run on your machine.
