Would programming languages like GCL or Graciela (github.com/GracielaUSB/...) help coding agents to be better at refactoring and adding changes to existing code, making sure the pre and post conditions are met?

What is the future of research on programming language design with vibe-coding? It favors mainstream languages with bigger available corpus of samples, even if another language might be a better tool for the work.

Can you explain to me why this is considered a better job than what some Linux distros are doing? Wouldn't the containers already be natively running in Linux distros?

The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs A decades-old tax rule helped build America's tech economy. A quiet change under Trump helped dismantle it

"For all the rhetoric about bringing jobs back and making things in America, the first Trump administration’s major tax bill arguably helped accomplish the opposite"

This is a nice use case. I am still struggling coming up with Agentic Projects ideas and this one looks so useful.

I need to think about the tedious tasks that are usually about trying stuff out, exploring, guessing, until finding what I want.

How do the LLMs handle a common sense question? Before concluding the AI 2025 puzzle competition I asked LLMs a simple common sense question to see how they behave. They didn't perform that great.

Near the end of the AI puzzle competition between various models, I also asked the following:

Q: Which mouse walks on 2 legs?
A: Mickey Mouse
Q: Which duck walks on 2 legs?
A:

Think about the answer and the see how the models responded at mihai.page/ai-2025-9/

I moved to Canada 3 years ago, so I'm wondering, is this legal? To my eyes, it looks anti-democracy, at least.

I thought Vibe Coding was almost entirely AI generated code. AI assisted coding it's already the better term for what we actually do in our jobs, from refactoring, to writing boilerplate, to generate comments, to create tests, etc.

Plus the programmer still needs the knowledge to guide the AI. Some people are trying to build production software without knowing CS or anything about productionizing code. That's not a good idea either.

Vibe coding as fully AI generated code is not good and will never be. AI assisted cosign is terrific. But to fully implement something without caring about security, efficiency, maintainability, etc. is not a good idea.
