Software engineers remain essential in the era of rapid LLM code generation because models lack wide context and aesthetic coherence, according to a blog post by an unnamed author. The post argues tha…
Software engineer Sean Goedecke argues that the European Union's watermark rule for AI-generated text, mandated by the EU AI Act, is ineffective because users can easily remove watermarks by asking a …
On July 21, mathematician Terence Tao published a raw ChatGPT transcript showing how he used the model to analyze a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture, an algebra problem open since 1939, and G…
A Hacker News post by Sean Goedecke, titled "LLMs reward expertise," argues that domain expertise, not prompt engineering, is the key to getting value from large language models, citing mathematician …
In 2026, AI models are producing a flood of mathematical discoveries, with prompting strategies as simple as asking for a breakthrough, according to software engineer Sean Goedecke. Goedecke argues th…
Domain expertise is the most important skill for prompting large language models (LLMs), not generic prompting techniques, according to software engineer Sean Goedecke. Goedecke cites mathematician Te…
Blogger Sean Goedecke argues that writing controversial blog posts forces deeper learning and clearer thinking, contrary to common advice favoring unstructured self-expression. He claims that structur…
Stating the obvious is surprisingly useful, as it can clarify tacit knowledge and provide catharsis, but it is hard and sometimes dangerous. The author argues that articulating obvious truths helps al…
Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career as AI reshapes the profession, according to developers and researchers. The use of AI tools risks cognitive debt and skill atrophy, while the ec…
A developer released Brontosaurus, a web-based generative canvas that creates visual widgets from spoken commands in under a second. The tool uses OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b model served by Cerebras at 3,0…
Staff engineer Sean Goedecke now uses LLMs to produce entire pull requests in familiar code areas, relying on agents for every change and pushing PRs after a single editing pass as of early 2026. He a…
A writer argues that left-wing critics of artificial intelligence overlook how large language models serve as powerful disability aids, helping people with brain fog, chronic pain, neurodivergence, an…
