Heh. I’m currently in the process of learning Python, and probably unlearning C/C++ as a side effect.
My suspicion is that I’ll end up with all the bad habits of every Python programmer and code snippet that Google used to train its AI. We’ll see how it goes. 😊

I love Mollick's SubStack...
This is Claude Code at work, one of a new generation of AI coding tools that represent a sudden capability leap in AI in the past month or so. What makes these new tools suddenly powerful is not one breakthrough, but a combination of two advances. First, the latest AIs are capable of doing far more work autonomously while self-correcting many of their errors https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/real-ai-agents-and-real-work , especially in programming tasks. Second, the AIs are being given an “agentic harness” of tools and approaches that they can use to solve problems in new ways. The result of these two factors has led to big leaps in the latest AI tools made by the big AI companies.
