🚨 The Developer’s Guide to AI by Jacob Orshalick, Jerry Mannel Reghunadh, and Danny Thompson has finally arrived! 🚨

I look forward to diving in and learning more about AI and how to use it to create and enhance software.

Thanks to Timothy, Brandon, and Jordan for their time and effort into working with the students and helping them level up this year.

Thanks to Shannon and the Codecraft Foundation for providing us with the support we need to keep the program running.

Thanks to Joe, Tina, Mary, and Wendi for providing us with a space to do our practices and competitions, for keeping the computers and network maintained, and for loading the software needed for practices and competitions.

Thanks to all the families and students who participated and helped out all year long. They are an incredible group of people to coach.

Lately when stopping at Dunkin on the way to cyber, I get yelled at by Optimus Prime. This video does no justice as to how loud it is.

I worked on a new feature for Space Coast Devs. I added a member directory that uses Discord as the sign in.

The Deep Blue

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 22:59:37 -0400

We coined a new term on the Oxide and Friends podcast last month (primary credit to Adam Leventhal) covering the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to the encroachment of generative AI into their field of work.

We’re calling it Deep Blue.

— Simon Willison

I’ve been thinking about the “Deep Blue” from various perspectives lately.

Will I remain relevant as a software engineer?
Will my teenage son, aspiring to be a software engineer, face easier or more challenging job prospects compared to my own experience?
Does pursuing a college degree in software engineering still make sense for him (or anyone else aspiring to enter the field)?
Will I be able to secure employment in a software-related role for the next 10-20 years?

Those are just a few off the top of the dome.

I did my somewhat annual revamp of my personal site. Cleaned up some of the architecture. Trying to lean into this idea of a digital garden more. I also created an Obsidian Plugin to publish to my site that I will start using soon.

On the Space Coast 915Mhz Signal someone shared that while in the DC area the local mesh was doing community events weekly. Someone else pointed out that the Florida Mesh Discord is also doing this weekly. I created a page on Space Coast Mesh for our local mesh users to meetup on the mesh. I also worked on the Open Graph images for the site as well as creating an SVG template for events. I fixed the main image to show more of a mesh by connecting the UFOs to each other, not just the middle one.

I decided to do this coding challenge yesterday to help dust off my Python knowledge. I took me about an hour, including figuring out how to disable Copilot and suggestions.

After I finished I gave it to Copilot/Claude Sonnet 4.5 and it did it in 45 seconds and essentially did it exactly as I did. It used less functions.
