It’s easy to get hung up on the notion of coding agents writing code, and overlook the drudge work they can take away from you.
Even if it never wrote I line of Swift, I'd find it useful having a helper that comprehends git and can manipulate Github pull requests and releases for me, from a vague prompt like "Draft a new release”.

An unintended consequence of the coming automation revolution may be to remove a major reason for offshoring.

I was recommended Chad Fowler's “The Pheonix Architecture”. I've not got far, but it's already resonating:

I can feel my typing fingers atrophying already.
On the plus side, I guess I can code whilst doing Tai Chi now, right?
Imagine a parallel universe where we discovered that coding agents were actually mechanical turks.
By which I don't mean "massive frauds” (before you ask). Or at least, I sort of do, but not in *that* way.

TFW you live somewhere obscure and the local news sites are a bit shit, badly formatted, full of adverts and syndicated content, and you finally crack and write a tool to scrape and summarise them to produce a nice intelligible list of the…

My watch thought I’d had a fall. Actually I just dived in goal playing 5-a-side.
Fair enough so far, I can see why it was confused - except then it just refused to take “no, it’s ok, I’m alive!” for an answer.

Sadly my dad took ill just before WWDC, and died a few days later*, so I'm a bit out of the loop.
I'm finally back home, and would welcome thinking about work for a bit.
