Friday Links: Programming deflation, story points, and vapers
19 Sep 2025 #mondaylinksHey there.
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. With the raise of AI, we’re in a programming deflation (5min). “We’re watching the basic economics of software development transform in real time.”
#2. Typing isn’t (and hasn’t been) the bottleneck of coding. AI is making us thinkers instead of typers (4min).
#3. One of the things I hate about software engineering is estimation and story points. And guess what? Story points answer nothing (4min).
#4. And here’s how someone hosted a website on a disposable vaper (6min). Cool!
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about the hardest lesson I learned migrating legacy code (again) (2min) and the one rule junior coders should follow to adopt AI (1min).
(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
