In the previous post, I showed off what can be done with the help of AI coding assistants quickly. And then I thought “well, it’s great I can see files and execute power shell remotely through my agent, but can I actually come up with some sort of CUA? And what would it take?”. It… Read More »
For better or worse, I’m pretty sure AI coding agents are not only capable of replacing developers in some distant future, they can do it now. Below is a project that cost me about 10 USD in Deepseek API usage, about 10 days of sleep-deprived nights since I had to tell the agent what to… Read More »
It seems that junior developers hiring is way down from where it used to be based on articles like this one, for example: https://byteiota.com/developer-hiring-crisis-2026-40-worse-junior-drops-73/ That’s attributed to the rise of AI-assisted development, and I guess that makes sense. Of course the problem that is often mentioned in the context of these stats is that, without… Read More »
Anthropic published a research paper back in March, and it has a nice diagram of the theoretical vs observed AI exposure by occupational category. For example, Computer & Math category is highly exposed in theory (AI can do a lot there), but, in practice, AI is underused there still. I am not going to tell… Read More »
To be honest, I don’t really know how and what to write about Power Platform anymore. I mean, of course, Power Platform is still there, I still do work in that space, I see a lot of benefits to having the ability to call all those connectors, I still think Power Apps make it easier… Read More »
When setting up an agent in the Copilot Studio, one of the things we could and should be doing is providing instructions. Sometimes, we’d be using those instructions to define constraints. Well, at least that’s part of what instructions are supposed to be used for. You can find some example here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/guidance/generative-mode-guidance And to some… Read More »
I mean, with all due respect to the investors and overhyped folks who would be saying AI is a real thing, it seems it would be a way more earnest perspective to admit it is a toy, for now. Because, well, toys tend to break, they are not meant for the “real world”. So there… Read More »
I didn’t plan on writing this, but judging by my LinkedIn feed, the tide has turned – and everyone’s kicking AI while it’s down. “AI can’t do math.”“AI fails logical problems.”“AI hallucinates and lies.” Sure, sometimes it does. But here’s the question: why did we expect anything else? What we mostly call “AI” today are… Read More »
Some of us would say GPT 5 has failed to deliver. With all those posts trying to count characters or ask GPT 5 to solve logical problems where it keeps failing more often than not, it’s not that difficult to see why that would be happening. I don’t necessarily agree, even though one thing is… Read More »
We keep saying that developers are not just “coders” – they have to understand requirements, they have to participate in the meetings, they have to do the estimates, they have to do demos, they have to process feedback, they have to implement proper security, etc. So, of course, an AI coding agent can’t replace developers.… Read More »
