You're right. The support is in early stages. I'm excited about what this enables devtools devs to build, though!

I meant reading recommendations on how CS departments should/change their programs. Good blog though.

If the technical skills are no longer as important to landing the first role, I can imagine the non-CS career route to software engineering positions becoming more common.

Today, a CS graduate can use the technical skills (and credentials) from their degree to get their first job. Then, they can learn the rest of the interdisciplinary complexity, that's involved in shipping a product on the job.

While universities can teach whatever they have the will to teach, university environments are well suited for some types of learning and poorly suited for others.

Any reading recommendations on this? I agree with the gap in graduate skills but am unsure that universities are well positioned to fill it.

I meant languages with first-class UI primitives. Frontend is a misnomer here

Do you see any significant limitations of Rest API's in agentic contexts requiring alternative protocols? Or are A2A and MCPs mostly hype?

I wonder whether:
a) WIFI in cafes is uncommon across the US
b) Cafe owners want to discourage coworking
c) There's an untapped market potential for coworking-friendly cafes in SF

LLMs enable intuitive programming syntax without ∞ implementation complexity

LLMs enable intuitive programming syntax without ∞ implementation complexity
It's fascinating how LLMs compress complexity. There has been a tradeoff of constant complexity in compilers. The syntax can be very intuitive but the compiler has to be massive (e.g. python). The compiler can be tiny but the syntax is abysmal (e.g. brainfuck).
