5 Quick Links for Devs: Week 10, 2026

MicroGPT explained interactively

I really love this, it's one of the best, most succinct walkthroughs of a GPT I've personally read, and the code itself is only 200 loc so it's readable and (largely) easy to understand even for someone who doesn't have experience in machine learning / Python code. I really recommend giving both this and the related (canonical) walkthroughs a read, Karpathy's post even comes with a link to an interactive notebook.

GPT 5.4

Whenever a new frontier model drops I go through the same cycle:

omg this is incredible we are totally cooked I am going to start training to become a plumber
Huzzah! I have found an edge case where the model slightly underperformed, the Singularity is delayed!

I am currently on 1.) with GPT 5.4

This is too real 😭

How to Kill the Code Review

Discussion has already begun on the next logical step of AI management after it (eventually) entirely takes over the manual writing of code. Currently the process in businesses that have adopted agentic flows is that the human devs largely shift their activities to planning, architecture and code-review - but it seems likely that the code review portion of the process itself will eventually be handed over to AI tools as well. This post puts us into that future and explores the flow when AI writes and reviews all of the code in the pipeline.

Agentic Engineering Patterns

Simon Willison has begun collecting his learnings and recommendations as one of the premier thought leaders in the agentic coding space, and this is a great collect of best practices to review and refer to as we continue to integrate AI into our development workflows.
