Lately I keep having Codex use computer use to do things that would be much easier via CLI.
Reminds me, that as things become easier, people, and i guess agents too, become dumber as a result.

US AI labs want to slow down. But is that really because of the threat of recursive self-improvement (RSI), something which isn't even theoretically proven.
Or is it because training costs have hit a breaking point, and Chinese open source models are catching up quickly?
I asons to be skeptical.

Just had Fable (on high in cursor) tell me it can't verify something locally, because some of my md files are stored in my prod db.
But they're not, they're stored in a public github repo.
People that aren't actually reading or understanding what the agent tells you, don't they think there's no reason to read anything anymore.

It would be the funniest outcome for sure.
If you told someone 1000 years ago we would have electricity, planes, rockets, phones and the internet, and unlimited food, they would probably think there weren’t enough jobs too.
Idk if he actually means it, but I think I’m team cloudflare ceos recommendation to to Dario, I’ve been skimming parts of Aristotle’s politics.
So many insanely smart people miss something so obvious: technology progresses quickly, but human nature never changes.

We just launched Versus on NeetCode
Studying and being locked-in can get lonely - so we added a competitive mode where you can "duel" someone. You can either invite a friend or just queue and we will pair you with someone.
The first one to pass all test cases wins. There's also m. And a leaderboard.
I was worried that it would take too long to queue if not enough people use it, but we just launched last night and already have 500+ matches completed.
Avg queue time is < 2min.
Try it out and let us know what you think!

I got a chance to speak with @vasilios_s - he's a systems engineer with 15+ yoe. You may recognize him from his viral video, where he got laid off from Atlassian and supposedly "leaked the entire company architecture"
We talked about:
- Why companies lay off some of their most y he decided to make that video & the attention he's getting from companies because of it
- How Vasilios has gotten so far in his career without even having finished high school
- How to learn effectively and a bunch of other programming topics, like life at Atlassian & is Python effective for large projects

Honestly pretty happy about this
We need more competition, not just a race between OpenAI and Anthropic.
And it’s hard to compete against that amount of token subsidies. This should give cursor enough capital, let’s see what they can do with it.
Now I just wish Google could aking something usable for coding.

Google will pay SpaceX $920M / month for GPUs.
Remember when big tech would hoard top talent just so their competitors couldn't access them? Seems we're doing that with GPUs now

"nearly three times as many executives at companies using or exploring AI said they were increasing junior-level hiring in 2026 than cutting back" - WSJ
Kinda goes back to what we all knew at the beginning. Jobs will change as a result of AI.
Sometimes the simplest answers are the most correct.

This is what NeetCode looked like in 2022 when I made it.
And it still went viral immediately. Because it was fast, functional & useful.
You could have the most beautiful design in the world, but no one cares if the app isn't useful.
You could have the ugliest design in the worln the UX is bad. Focus on what users actually care about.

ok so this is an appealing design for people who don't have eyes
unfortunately that is not what i'm looking for
unfortunately that is not what i'm looking for
because i dont want to be seen as a bully, lets make this a contest
if someone can create some mocks / redesigns that I actually use I will pay you $2,500 usd
if you have the skills to then implement it in the codebase i may also hire you
like i said, the bar to make it look better is pretty low, but please don't give me slop

ok i know my site looks like complete 💩
someone sent me a message that they could improve it and sent this mock.. am I crazy because that does not look any better at all
i dont wanna be a jerk but i think they just used a single prompt, and not even w claude or gemini, but probably codex

NeetCode keeps getting better - we just added 1000+ animated dry-runs, for every single solution to every single problem in the NeetCode 250 coding interview list.
Genuinely one of the most useful features for learning. Searching a rotated sorted array has never been easier!
our own user submitted code as well.

Forgot to post on twitter - my conversation with @thdxr from @opencode
Talked a lot about how programming is changing & not changing. I really enjoyed a lot of the historical takes that Dax has. He's building one of these "agentic coding" tools, so he sees the value in it, but he at of skepticism.
A lot of the core debates about "vibe code" vs "traditional code" aren't new.
They already existed in many forms, e.g. go fast break things vs overengineering, microservices vs monolith, testing, etc.
I also really resonated with his idea of competition - was probably my favorite part, but there were many great ones!
0:00 - Intro
3:56 - Dax's developer workflow
6:54 - Is code no longer written by humans?
11:32 - Competition, Claude Code
19:04 - Positioning vs Product
23:49 - Will OpenAI acquire OpenCode?
28:02 - The Future of Coding, effort vs impact
37:16 - Code Quality
42:23 - Did AI take the fun out of programming?
45:56 - Will programming skills decay
long term?
51:56 - Technical skills alone are useless
58:56 - Becoming an Elite Developer

2026 has been a busy year so far at NeetCode
We just launched NeetBot 🤖 to make it easier to visualize algorithms.
It works on all sorts of data structures, including arrays, trees, graphs - and even grids, tries, intervals, pretty much everything.
Watch it step through your me alive.
---
Some other things we've added so far in 2026:
- Dynamic hints using your code
- Suggest fix (minimum code changes to fix your solution)
- About ~150 more DSA problems
- 50 SQL problems
- Kotlin / Swift / Rust support 🦀
- Calendar & Daily streaks
- Discuss / comment section

1. Homepage should make it clear which PRs are assigned to you, along w other useful info. I feel that github.com/pulls should take precedence over activity feed, or at least be one click away, maybe customizable. I personally dont care who starred my repos.
Clicking 'my opens an AI chat dialog, which is just strange to me. Why isn't that just an API call.
2. For PR page, the 'conversation' and 'files changed' tabs can be unified imo. So much easier than having to switch back and forth (kinda lags on navigation as well)
3. For PRs, some kind of 'attention set' or way to know who's turn it is, reviewer or author. Like author should have to manually re-request a review each time to make it explicit (this is kinda subjective i guess)
I've never used graphite but i've heard it's closer to what I described.
4. For repo navigation, commit history for individual files should not be on a separate page, should just open via a collapsible or something after i click it.
And then I should be able to easily click the commit to see the entire state of the repo at that point.
This last one sounds nitpicky, but for me it's such a massive UX improvement.

LEETCODE IS DEAD
Hackerrank confirmed what many of us have been feeling.
The era of memorizing DFS/BFS patterns is fading and the era of "Al Orchestration" is here.
Companies are starting to care less about if you can solve a problem in 45 mins without help and more about how uction-ready features.

We just deployed our custom code execution engine for NeetCode. It's really fast ⚡️ up to 10 times faster than leetcode in some cases (300ms Run for Python on NC vs 3500ms on lc)
Test it out if you don't believe me!

Never thought this 'side project' would ever get this big.
btw we now support Golang, Kotlin and Swift
