Pure and Impure Software Engineering

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 08:07:05

Why do solo game developers tend to get into fights with big tech engineers? Why do high-profile external hires to large companies often fizzle out? Why is AI-assisted development amazing for some engineers and completely useless for others? I think it’s because some engineers are doing very different kinds of work to other engineers. Those two types of engineers often assume their counterparts are simply incompetent, but they’re really just working in different fields. Pure and impure enginee

Why China Builds Faster Than the Rest of the World

There’s never been a shortage of hot takes about what really makes the United States and China so different: Capitalism versus socialism; democracy as opposed to authoritarianism; Christianity or Confucianism; equity versus efficiency. In his highly anticipated new book, Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, Hoover Institution fellow Dan Wang proposes a fresh lens for looking at the world’s two largest superpowers: the US is a “lawyerly society,” he argues, while China is an “engineer

How to Prepare for Leadership Roles in Software Engineering

Struggling between the comfort of an individual contributor (IC) role and the desire to move into software engineering leadership? It’s a tough fork in the road that many engineers face. The idea of stepping away from hands-on technical work to move into leadership requires mastering new skills, stepping into the spotlight, and strategic thinking. It feels like a major departure from their comfort zone of code development, testing, and debugging. But the truth is, growth happens outside the comf

The New Face of Data Engineering: No-Code, High Velocity, and AI-Driven

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-10-30 04:00:50

Data engineering is experiencing rapid transformation due to artificial intelligence’s (AI) modification of work processes and responsibilities. AI-assisted low- and no-code solutions dominate previously code-heavy processes, delivering streamlined development and reduced complexity. This transition challenges engineers to shift from writing pure extract, transform, and load (ETL) code to managing system design, data governance, compliance, and strategic AI tool integration.

A Cheat Sheet for Job Titles in the AI Ecosystem Even when you live and breathe AI, the job titles can feel like a moving target. I can only imagine how mystifying they must be to everyone else.

Why Did a $10 Billion Startup Let Me Vibe-Code for Them—and Why Did I Love It?

Sitting a few feet away was Simon Last, one of Notion’s three cofounders. He is gangly and shy, an engineer who has relinquished management responsibilities to focus on being a “super IC”—an individual contributor. He stood to shake my hand, and I awkwardly thanked him for letting me vibe-code. Simon returned to his laptop, where he was monitoring an AI as it coded for him. Later, he would tell me that using AI coding apps was like managing a bunch of interns. Since 2022, the Notion app has had
