🤖 Optimize your AI for Programming
We keep getting more powerful coding models, but also more expensive ones.
In the short time we got to use Fable, we saw the potential it had, but also that it wasn't a model to use continuously given its high cost and slowness.
That's why models like Cursor's Composer 2.5 or Anthropic's Haiku 4.5 can also be interesting. They give us slightly less intelligence, but at a much lower cost and more speed.
What's more, if these models had come out 6 months ago, they'd be the best.
How to figure out which models make sense to use and how, we explore in the Agentic Programming with AI: Practical Fundamentals course, along with many more concepts to make your AI-assisted development much more optimal.
🐙 Is the end of GitHub near?
If you'd told me 4 years ago that I'd stop using StackOverflow, I would have said that's impossible. Soon after, ChatGPT came out and since then I haven't been back to StackOverflow.
If you'd told me 2 years ago that I'd stop using IntelliJ, I would have laughed at the joke you were telling me. Soon after, Cursor came out and later Claude Code, and IntelliJ has become, for me, a diff viewer and little else.
We're in a time where the tools we had most firmly established are no longer so. And one of them could be GitHub.
That's why we've written a blog post where we expand on this thought.
On top of that, tomorrow we'll be live at 9 CEST covering this news and more. Join us on our YouTube or Twitch!
And since you've made it to this part of the newsletter, here's the joke of the week, which I know you were waiting for:
What's the worst part for Lamine.yaml? - That his son's name is Json.yaml! 😂 😂 😂
Cheers!
