AI coding assistants. Why are they important? How did we get here? What are the problems in this area? There's a bit of ad in the end, but it's definitely not a usual marketing BS kind of post. A nice overview, so to speak.

Wow, C23 standard is out. There are a lot of things, I know that I cannot comprehend it all, but "Constants true, false, and nullptr are now language keywords" fills me with a pleasant warmth.

Wonderful! Some Android devices started calling 911 by themselves. Presumably after OS update. Really enjoyed tweet replies by the way.
