Subscribe here for more MO AHMED AI For Developers - A4D Hey there, AI warriors! 👋 The technical interview landscape is catching up with AI and its impact on how we code and create software applications. Soon, it will be no longer about whether you can reverse a linked list or implement quicksort—it's about demonstrating your ability to leverage AI effectively as a force multiplier for your development skills. I would favor an engineer who can work 10x faster with AI...

AI For Developers

Well, prepare for something far more dramatic. Just as Moore's Law predicted the exponential growth in computing power, we're witnessing the beginning of a similar exponential curve in software development efficiency. By 2035, what takes months today will be accomplished in hours. Let me show you why this isn't...

When Linux dropped, it changed how we build. DeepSeek just did the same for AI - at 1/100th the cost. Your code's about to level up.

That's when Linus Torvalds announced Linux, a moment fundamentally reshaping computing. At the time, most saw it as just another Unix clone. They missed what it truly represented: the democratization of operating systems. Today, I see striking parallels between that moment and what's happening with DeepSeek. Let me explain why this...

Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for more MO AHMED AI For Developers - A4D AI is redefining roles and creating profound economic ripples. But what determines whether these changes lead to new opportunities—or disruptions—for software developers? The answer lies in the race between automation and capital accumulation, which Korinek and Suh explore in their macroeconomic paper Scenarios for the Transition to AGI. Korienk and Suh provide a robust framework for understanding the economic...

Subscribe here for more MO AHMED AI For Developers - A4D A Journey into AutoGen and Multi-Agent SRE Systems Last week, I reconnected with an old friend who's been tinkering away as a researcher at Microsoft. Over coffee, he couldn't stop raving about his latest project: Microsoft AutoGen. Naturally, our geeky chatter veered into the realm of agentic workflows and multi-agent systems. The more he talked, the more my curiosity morphed into full-blown intrigue. So, why not...
