Friday Links: Tricky bugs, Google Translate, and AI
20 Jun 2025 #mondaylinksHey,
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to flip the conditions inside an if. Maybe not my trickiest bugs, but still… Anyway, here are 9 lessons from a coder’s trickiest bugs (8min).
#2. This coder doesn’t use AI and explains why (8min). One of his main concerns? Speed.
#3. Google Translate hasn’t killed translators and interpreters (6min). Maybe AI won’t kill coding either. At the end of the day, we as coders are translators too.
#4. It feels like coders will be AI’s first victims. But this might be the best time to learn software development (8min). Well, some time ago it was with textbooks, StackOverflow, forums, and instruction manuals.
I’ve been playing with Copilot recently. It’s already saved me hours of repetitive work. And in case you missed it, I’ve written about the tasks Copilot has helped me with here (3min) and here (2min).
(Bzzz…Radio voice) This email was brought to you by… Check my Gumroad store to access free and premium books and courses to level up your coding skills and grow your software engineering career.
See you next time,
Cesar
