engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-13 11:15:23

The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” has passed with plenty of nasty treats for the US technology and manufacturing industries. As well as swinging the sword at basic environmental protection measures, the bill sticks its thumb in the eye of the EV industry. Tim Stevens takes you on a tour of the most salient changes, like the imminent end of the EV tax credit. Joining that on the bonfire is the used EV incentive, as well as the rebates for the purchase of commercial EVs. Similarly, for all of t

On making use of large thinking models. For a year, I’d been coding almost every day with Cursor and Claude Sonnet. Anthropic’s 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet each rightly earned their dominant place on the programming model charts: they were the least-bad coding models yet. In the earliest days of LLMs, there was tremendous interest in ever-larger model releases. Hype around bigger, slower models has since waned, as Claude 3 Opus, GPT 4.5, and OpenAI o1 – all large and technically impressive model releas

Writing Code Was Never the Bottleneck

news.ycombinator.com Pedro Tavares 2025-08-13 09:43:57

For years, I’ve felt that writing lines of code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. The actual bottlenecks were, and still are, code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of coordination and communication. All of this wrapped inside the labyrinth of tickets, planning meetings, and agile rituals. These processes, meant to drive quality, often slow us down more than the act of writing code itself because they require t
