If you had any doubt that AI is going to completely change programming as a profession, you just need to look at the graph below.

A year ago on December 14 2024 Ilya Sutskever famously warned that the “age of pre-training” was nearing its end. He called training data the “fossil fuel” of AI, said we had reached “peak data”, and reminded everyone that “there’s only one Internet”.

In 2017, the Merriam-Webster’s word of the year was “Feminism”, in 2020 it was “Pandemic” and in 2021 it was “Vaccine”. In 2025 the word of the year is “Slop”.

Last week Google finally launched their long-awaited model Gemini 3 Pro, together with the outstanding new Nano Banana Pro “image processor”. I’m not even sure what I should call Nano Banana Pro, it can do things with images I didn’t think was possible, and looking at the things it can produce it really gives you…

The past few months I have talked to several large companies with old legacy systems that need to be modernized. The question most of them have is: when can we start using AI to migrate all our old code into a modern Java or C# tech stacks? For complex systems I do not think AI…

Last week was one of the lowest-activity AI weeks in a while, but I predict the activity will ramp up significantly in the next couple of weeks. Google is planning to release Gemini 3 Pro very soon which is looking to be a real powerhouse with a 1 million token context window and unmatched agentic capabilities.
