The machines are rising — but developers still hold the keys

Rumors of AI overtaking software development are exaggerated as the role of a developer involves more than just coding.
Industry's decision on embracing fully automated software development could lead to error-prone, expensive code.
Developer judgment and experience will be crucial in a world with increasing machine-generated code.
AI-generated code has led to issues like code churn, decrease in refactored code, and lack of rigor in code quality.
While AI can assist in coding tasks, focus should extend beyond code generation to utilize AI effectively in software development.
Developers need to tighten practices and focus on AI-friendly code design to better leverage AI assistance.
The future may see developers reviewing AI-created code with increased responsibility for ensuring correctness.
In a world valuing trust, the role of software developers in verifying AI-built systems becomes crucial.
Thoughtless automation and reliance on 'vibe coding' could pose significant challenges and costs in the future.
Software development skills must continue to be valued to prevent potential issues from AI-driven software development.

The 9950X3D is king, but the 9950X is great for non-gamers

AMD's Ryzen 9950X3D is considered the top CPU in mid-2025, excelling in gaming and productivity like the Intel Core Ultra 285K and AMD Ryzen 9950X.
The more affordable option, Ryzen 9950X, is viable for non-gamers due to its lower price.
Pricing for Ryzen 9 9950X has decreased to around $550, while the 9950X3D initially priced at $700 is now closer to $830 with limited availability.
Both CPUs have the same core/thread count, base, and turbo frequencies, but the 9950X3D has additional L3 cache known as 3D V-Cache for enhanced performance.
In gaming, the Ryzen 9950X3D outperforms the 9950X significantly, showcasing a notable uplift of up to 30% in some cases as per reviews from TechRadar and TechSpot.
The 9950X3D also excels in productivity tasks, showcasing impressive performance in apps like 7-Zip, Blender, and Photoshop according to various reviews.
While the 9950X3D is superior in gaming and productivity, the 9950X remains a strong performer, especially for non-gamers, offering almost similar performance at a lower price.
Concerns about higher failure rates in 9950X3D CPUs have been raised, but for non-gamers, the 9950X presents a more straightforward and reliable choice.
