Friday Links: Maya site rediscovered, Socrates, and AI
13 Nov 2026 #mondaylinksHey there.
Quick update: Street-Smart Coding in the Age of AI has now its cover.
In case you missed it, I’m writing Street-Smart Coding in the Age of AI, the prequel of Street-Smart Coding and book #3 in my Street-Smart Coding Collection.
It’s a short and actionable guide to help you leverage AI without becoming dependent on it. You can preorder your ebook copy starting at just $1.
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. AI agents for coding? Nah! What about feeding them with satellite images to find archaeological sites? That’s how a Maya site was (re)discovered (9min).
#2. Here are 4 signs you have a fragile, AI-generated codebase (7min).
#3. With the power of AI at our fingertips, it’s time to return to the humanities and social sciences, time to return to Socrates (5min). It’s time to let machine build a world we humans envision.
#4. I don’t use AI for writing. It’s too sacred to outsource it to AI. Because writing is a thinking tool (7min).
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about two types of lists I’m starting after deleting my todo list (2min).
(Bzzz…Radio voice) This email was brought to you by… Preorder your copy of Street-Smart Coding in the Age of AI. A short and actionable guide to leverage AI without losing your skills.
See you next time,
