Master the Code by Slowing Down in the Age of AI
Ben Linders argues that real mastery in software engineering comes from slowing down, even as generative AI accelerates output. He's right. Tools can produce code quickly, but they don't build understanding. Engineers still need to grasp how systems work to truly learn. Senior developers who coach juniors through deliberate, slower techniques are preserving the craft.

How AI is reshaping tech workforces and what it means for you
Monday.com just became the latest tech company to cite AI in its layoffs, joining a growing list of 20 others this year. That pattern is worth pausing over, not because AI isn't reshaping work, but because blaming the tool lets companies off the hook for their own restructuring choices. We're tracking these announcements in reverse order, and the trend raises real questions about accountability.
