I use AI (Oct 2026)

OP: [last year][1], I shared how I was using AI day-to-day as an ordinary engineer. This year, I did it again!

It's crazy realizing that Claude Code only started getting big in the last year or so. It feels so different now, with all the new models & tools we have to use. I hope you enjoy!

March 2025 was the start of the boom, IMO. Sonnet 3.7 and CC released feb 24th, Responses API + Agents SDK from OAI launched March 11. Two months after we got the first Terminal Bench, then a month later we got tau2 bench.

I guess, its debatable that o1 was the real start- but I think its hard to deny that Claude Code CLI was the first time we had what we now call a coding harness hit the mainstream. And- Sonnet 3.7 was kinda Anthropic's "o1 moment".

God. Opus 4.6 and 5.3-codex feel like ancient history.

Cursor was the first coding harness that hit mainstream (was the fastest company to hit $1B ARR). It was also once half of Anthropic's revenue.

On the CLI side Aider had a good CLI product and the only relevant benchmark back in the day.
