TLDR: AI is industrializing software production, shifting it from craft to manufacture. This will create "disposable software" at massive scale, but innovation and stewardship will remain distinctly human challenges.

TLDR: Addy Osmani, now a director at Google Cloud AI, continues expanding his library of engineering resources including "Beyond Vibe Coding," "Building Web Apps with Bolt," and updates to "Learning JavaScript Design Patterns."
Addy Osmani has transitioned from 14 years leading developer experiences in Chrome (DevTools, Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals) to Google Cloud AI, focusing on Gemini, Vertex AI, and the Agent Development Kit. His growing collection of books now includes "Beyond Vibe Coding" - suggesting even the champions of traditional web performance are taking AI-assisted engineering seriously. Worth following for anyone interested in the intersection of established engineering practices and emerging AI tooling.
