Friday Links: AI, checklists, and cocktails
25 Jul 2025 #mondaylinksHey, there.
I thought I wouldn’t find another 4 since last Wednesday email. Here are 4 links for you today: (I couldn’t avoid adding the last one, not about coding though)
#1. The whole point of AI is making coders faster. But here’s an study (4min) that shows AI makes some experienced developers slower.
#2. Sure, AI is the buzzword these days. But there are things that don’t change (4min). “AI amplifies what you already know.”
#3. Something we coders should learn from pilots? The value of checklists (3min).
#4. This one isn’t about coding, but… I found out there’s an official list of cocktails and a guy who drank them all (20min).
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about how to stand out from AI content (2min) and the simple method I use to replace my second brain (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
