Having used Claude Code for a few months now, I have noticed how software development has changed for me. I write a lot less code, but I spend more time understanding and testing the code Claude has written. The proportions have changed, but it still feels like software development.
I really enjoyed reading Artificial Intelligence – A Guide for Thinking Humans by Melanie Mitchell. The author is a professor of computer science and an artificial intelligence (AI) researcher. The book is her attempt at working out if the singularity is near (or at least likely), or if we still are far from creating any true intelligence. In the process, the reader gets an excellent overview of the state of the art in areas such as image recognition, game play, and natural language processing. Even though it is aimed at general readers, I found it to be very good in technical content.
