  1. I think the next evolution in these models will be RAG CoT, specifically for the sake of making hyper competent and specialized reasoning agents that have access to proprietary/confidential data. I might try redneck engineering my own RAG CoT system using a cheap instruct-aligned model, some good prompt templates, and an interface that connects it to a database.

  2. AI coding assistants are more useful to a senior engineer than they are to a junior imo. Cursor saves me a lot of time searching documentation and writing well-structured boilerplate code, and it can pick up and replicate patterns when I refactor large swathes of code pretty well. I still regularly write code in vim or the micropython file editor I wrote, but the AI assistants are very helpful for languages and libraries that I don't spend a lot of time using. But not Copilot. Copilot sucked -- it was wrong more often than it was right for languages other than Java. It was so frustrating that I cancelled my free trial and got a Cursor subscription in the middle of a collaborative work session.
