I’ve built a coding game which is fun but also has a serious edge: it teaches critical code reading skills for the AI era
What will our daily workflow as programmers look like a year from now? If AI coding assistants improve at their current pace, who knows. But our theory is that the close reading of code will be a critical skill.
And a whole lot of technical background is in my regular newsletter/blog ngof.nikhaldimann.com/p/anything-wra…
Link is here next.nikhaldimann.com/wrapped
I don't know how to make anything go viral but in theory I built something very viral in the form of an unofficial @Bandcamp Wrapped
My main takeaway from using AI coding tools extensively so far is that they benefit me greatly as an experienced engineer, but I'm unclear what they mean for junior engineers and team dynamics
Second post on my new Substack is out now: What it's like to write 90% of your code with Claude Code + can I teach music to Claude? open.substack.com/pub/ngof/p/vib…
Subscribe now! The first issue drops in a week and a fresh one will follow roughly every 2 weeks: ngof.substack.com/welcome
I figured out why I don't like it here: I have a long attention span, and I like long-form content! So I'm launching a new Substack, called "Next Generation Of". It will document a series of rapid prototypes as I explore the state of the art in vibe coding and AI assistants.
This may interest you even if you don't care about Django! The core is me combining some my favorite topics to think about: the history computing, plus the hard problems of extensibility and collaboration in software
So I'm still alive. Proof: This talk I gave last week at @DjangoConEurope youtube.com/watch?v=fuGWGv…
Ok jury is still out on shitty leader, but he’s publicly demonstrating he barely knows what he’s doing. I give Twitter a 20% chance of pulling through as a business within 2 years. That’d be despite leadership - this is common and why the memes of shitty leadership persist!
- Crypto - Advertising - Shitty “hardcore” leadership This has freed up so much brainpower that maybe now we can reallocate to building some real shit?
Tbh the past weeks have been restorative for me because 3 gods of tech that I always kinda knew to be false have been knocked off their pedestals:

If you asked my two years ago: I would have told you live coding interviews are fine (*I* don’t mind them). I since got to know women developers who get stressed, freeze up and get rejected on live coding interviews & whiteboards. The crazy thing is they’re all solid engineers.
For folks asking how I said no, here's an example!
Feels rather unreal still, we really went and raised $5m. How did that happen?! It's the amazing team, the early customers who trusted us when we hadn't proven anything yet and this strong cast of investors. And now just to fix clinical trials. Easy! 😆
Thrilled to publicly launch today and announce our $5 million seed round! Our mission is to accelerate research for the next generation of health companies. Thank you @firstminutecap, Presight Capital, @seedcamp, Hambro Perks, @AminoCollective, and @calmstormvc for your support!
Favor boring technology, and I mean boring in the most affectionate way possible ❤️
Boring CTO opinion: almost everything you built in years 0-3 should've been built on Rails + Heroku. Optimize your engineering decisions for iteration speed, observability, and simplicity until you achieve Product-Market Fit — and probably longer.
I've been living in Central London for a few months now and have gotten used to all sorts of unusual noise and commotion out my window (ask me about the Euros final sometime) but this is a new one: a Hare Krishna duo of drum and accordion! 🥁🪗
Job details here: lindushealth.com/careers - DMs are open for any and all questions. Care for a retweet?
3. The product dev environment of your dreams: I want to make product-oriented engineers as happy and productive as possible - strong product vision but lots of autonomy on how to get there, and the infrastructure to ship rapidly
So yeah, I'm hiring software engineers in the UK at @LindusHealth in historically the most difficult market to do so. 😆 I'm still optimistic for 3 reasons:
