Great article. Lots of similarities to other terms floating around like forward deployed engineer and full stack builder. This is obvious if you ask ChatGPT to list all the professions over the years which have been combined and subsumed during technical innovation.

I think the most obvious recent event would have been the personal computer. How many office jobs that existed pre-computer were combined once they became software?

Filing clerks, switchboard operators, darkroom technicians etc.

I do wonder how much hand wringing there is around tools like uv. The perf of Rust with the usability of python if everyone just ignores the binary blobs and FFI involved.

I personally think uv is a huge brightspot in the python ecosystem and think others will follow suit (i.e other langs embedding rust in tooling for speedups). Wonder what the rest of the ecosystem thinks.

Maybe the uv approach is really the best of both worlds — pythons dx with rusts rigor.

Totally agree, the FFI escape hatch and excellent tooling from rust, maturin pyo3 etc means so many python problems can just be solved with rust. Which begs the question, has anyone tried doing a greenthread implementation in rust? Maybe offload some of the dynamically evaled python code to a seperate process maybe with https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython

Great article, the previous related one goes into a lot more detail on some of pythons different concurrency implementation details: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/11/18/threads-beat-async-await...

Something which would be immensely helpful for the community is to create a test suite of pathological problems with existing python concurrency patterns and libraries.

At that point it should just be a matter of time before the right implementation and PEP(s) can be iterated on that solves said problems while maximizing for devex.

For anyone interested in learning more about different concurrency models I can highly recommend Paul Butcher's: Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks.

Hi Madhava, in the blog post you mentioned in "Claude Code Use-cases" that it's good at "one shot entire applications (like crabmux)", however, I am curious about how good it is at changing small things, do small improvements / fixing bugs?

It’s actually really good at small bugs but you need to make sure it can understand what’s broken by giving it context. Logs, curls, screenshots etc. The biggest problem is when it goes on vision quests and does stuff you didn’t ask.

The meme with the car and duck are basically how AI agents like to “fix bugs”, sometimes they’re like oh I fixed the bug and changed the button which you never asked for. Lol. Adding a wheel and changing the car into a cat!

launch the browser (logged in as you) and do simple tasks

how are you doing this?

Check the post from Simon Willison: https://til.simonwillison.net/claude-code/playwright-mcp-cla...

You install the playwright mcp server and then it just launches chrome.

The phrase 'I haven't felt so energized and confused and so willing to try new things' perfectly described my experience with Claude Code. It's a really polished tool.

Yeah, thats the_mitsuhiko aka Armin Ronacher. It was a joy to talk to him about Claude Code.
