Leave it to a Brit to deliver satire with a straight face in the most deadpan style. This had me in stitches, even my wife joined in to watch the whole thing.

Update: For anyone curious, presenter is Steve Sanderson and a little bit of context in this LinkedIn Post.

Nine things, Space, Rust, Pi? Oh my!

An AI Hate Wave Is Here

Asked about backlash to AI, Superhuman Mail CEO Rahul Vohra — whose company makes an AI-powered email assistant — seemed unfamiliar with the premise of the question. After hearing about poor polling around AI, he responded: “We don’t really see that.”

Building Pi with Pi

Keep in mind that AI has not increased the number of people who need software, or the number of maintainers who can review it. It has mostly increased the amount of code and the number of projects competing for attention. Some of that is healthy, but a lot of it fragments effort that should be shared.

Simon Willison’s annotated lightning talk from PyCon US 2026.

OpenAI and Anthropic had spent most of 2025 running Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards to increase the quality of code written by their models, especially when paired up with their Codex and Claude Code agent harnesses.

In November the results of this work became apparent. Coding agents went from often-work to mostly-work, crossing a quality barrier where you could use them as a daily-driver to get real work done, without needing to spend most of your time fixing their stupid mistakes.

If AI writes your code, why use Python?

The argument from the title: Python’s ergonomics were optimized for humans, and humans are increasingly not the proximate authors. If the model is happy writing Rust, the case for the slower-runtime, weaker-typed alternative gets thinner.

The last twenty years of language choice were shaped by a single constraint: humans write the code, and humans are slow at low-level languages. That constraint is gone. Stack Overflow’s 2025 survey had Rust as the most-admired language for the tenth consecutive year at 72%, with Gleam at 70%, Elixir at 66%, and Zig at 64%. The stated preference was always there; the tooling finally caught up to the preference.

AI should elevate your thinking, not replace it

Koshy John on what the tool is good for and what it is not. The argument is small and worth keeping: use the model to extend the questions you can ask, not to skip the part where you think the answer through. His analogies are spot on.

Going back to the analogies: This is like copying answers through university and then showing up to a job that requires independent thought. It is like using a calculator for every arithmetic task and never developing number sense. It is like relying on self-driving features before learning how to actually drive. The support system may make you look functional, but it does not make you capable.

WebMCP is available for early preview : The browser-as-MCP-host idea. Tools that pages can offer, sandboxed, gated.

As the agentic web evolves, we want to help websites play an active role in how AI agents interact with them. WebMCP aims to provide a standard way for exposing structured tools, ensuring AI agents can perform actions on your site with increased speed, reliability, and precision.
