Digital computing is reaching relative maturity, with traditional electronics well into the final phase of their S-curve and GPUs in the middle of theirs. The demand for compute is showing no sign of slowing. Next-gen approaches will need to harness entirely different materials systems with more amenable physics. This article looks at some of the possible technologies that may bring the industry to the next level.
Cursor, an AI-first code editor, is rapidly gaining popularity, with more developers preferring it over VS Code + Copilot or JetBrains IDE + Copilot. It appears most IDE vendors are offering generative AI capabilities at a loss. Engineers making heavy use of code generation are likely getting good value for money in terms of the compute required for code generation on larger codebases. This article looks over the several AI-focused IDEs available and useful features for developers.
Assembled uses LLMs to accelerate and improve software testing, enabling test generation in minutes instead of hours. This approach increases engineering productivity, saving time and shifting focus to feature development. LLMs generate comprehensive and accurate tests that maintain code quality and development velocity.
Software defaults define the experience for everyone out of the box. Most customers buy something they just want to work - configuration is a drag, not a desire. A company's stock product represents how the company thinks about its product, its customers, and the experience it imagines is the best one. Developers should be careful about the default paths that they choose.
This post discusses how to build a design system. It covers the benefits of design systems, the potential problems with using them, the best way to go about building a design system, ways to improve existing design systems, and more. It is important to design systems that users understand and want to use. Making a system too strict or complicated can cause adoption issues.
Technical debt is when developers make a decision to borrow against their future productivity in order to achieve earlier product delivery, and because of that decision, they must make recurring interest payments in the form of wasted effort. While engineers hate waste, management sees the issue in terms of costs. If there are significant cost savings by spending time reducing wasted effort, then managers will see it as a good investment, otherwise they may think developers should just keep on wasting that effort. Companies exist to make money, not reduce wasted effort.
This article looks at how Hugging Face approaches developer relations. Hugging Face is well known for being a startup whose large online community also translates to massive multi-thousand-people meetups all over the world. The community-centric company prioritizes giving the spotlight to community members and collaborators as much as possible and provides compute and no-strings-attached cash grants to community members and communities. It also helps maintain open-source libraries and closely collaborates with other tools. The company aims to always take a collaborative approach to working with other groups, open-source platforms, and libraries.
Being an engineering manager can be more rewarding than you think. The output is not as instant as with programming, but it allows you to focus on creating better outcomes. This article contains lessons learned from a year of being an engineer manager: everyone requires a unique approach, business outcome matters, and meetings are not bad if you get value from them.
