Do engineers still need to understand how LLMs work? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Using AI agents for coding has become standard today. But not many people can say that the model can write that code. My guest today is someone who spent the last few years writing books on that topic.Sebastian Raschka is an author of the book Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch) and a former professor of statistics at UW-Madison. He writes a blog where he publishes his learnings and lessons on Machine Learning (ML) and LLMs.Most of us use these models on a daily basis, but probably not s

Hey, Milan here.This is Thursday Notes, a short mail on the Thursdays when there is no full issue. Two ideas from my archive, and three papers or tools I found useful this week. Last week’s full issue, in case you missed it: 1. There is no best architecture, only the least worst oneThe most useful sentence I took from Software Architecture: The Hard Parts is that you never find the best design. You find the least worst combination of trade-offs. Once you accept that, a design review stops being
What is the future of Software Engineering when nobody needs to write code? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since the beginning of writing software, coding has probably been the hardest thing to do. But it was not only hard, but expensive too. When you get a feature to implement, someone needs to understand it first, then design it, write code, test it, debug it, review it, and finally deploy it. Now, it is 2026, and this is no longer true as coding agents are writing most of the software, writing tests, doing refactoring, investigating bugs, and more. And they are improving on a daily basis. What we

Actually, a bit more, as my father was a software developer his whole life, I know for myself that I was part of this world.During the first part of my life, until I was 14, I lost everything I owned twice. Then I spent more than 20 years building software for a living. These two things are connected more than it looks like.On my birthday, I sent a short em
Engineering management is a career change, not a promotion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I heard once from my manager that I’m a good resource. I didn’t like that wording, but it stuck with me for a long time. Then I had an opportunity to talk with Ryan Murphy, who shared a similar story. This was the reason he quit a job and decided to train other managers.Before this, Ryan spent five years as an engineering manager at Yelp, leading teams that owned purchasing infrastructure. Those systems took customer money and reported it to Wall Street.He now builds EM Accelerator. His argument
