Building in the Era of Autonomous Software Development. Loved this blog post from Bret Taylor. His central question is:
What will software engineering look in the Autonomous Era, like when we get rid of the proverbial driver’s seat and steering wheel? … Today, a software engineer’s primary desktop is their editor. What is the Mission Control for a software engineer in the era of autonomous development?
I’m excited about this idea, it’s one of the core things we’re working on at Melty. The tricky part is figuring out how much to innovate vs. make things familiar. Engineer’s workflows are hard to change (which I know because my workflows are hard to change).
Shortest by Sahil Lavingia. A new JS framework for writing frontend QA tests. Now that tests aren’t a pain to write, TDD is going to make a comeback.
