There was a time when writing beautiful code was the goal, where naming was poetry and indentation was sacred. But let’s be honest: it wasn’t about performance or outcomes. It was about making life easier for (and impressing) other developers. That era is fading fast, replaced by a world where results matter more than elegance and code isn’t written for humans anymore.

We're on the brink of a major shift. For decades, the stereotype of the ideal developer has been the same: someone who lives, breathes, and dreams in code. They memorise algorithms, wrestle endlessly with syntax, and churn through lines faster than anyone else in the room. And for a long time, that's been enough. But those days are ending.

If you've ever found yourself frustrated with the output of AI-assisted IDEs like Cursor or Windsurf, then I might have some bad news for you. Are you sitting down? Because you're probably not gonna like this: It's kinda your own fault.

As abstractions become less necessary, we might be heading toward a future where writing code by hand is the exception, not the norm. When that happens, what happens to the tooling we all love so much?

The rise of LLMs, particularly agent-based (agentic) IDE's like Cursor and Windsurf has changed the face of coding forever and it's not going anywhere, so you may as well get on board.

The Vive Pro is out and the Pimax is on the horizon, whilst it's too early to tell what the Pimax will be like, the reviews are in on the Vive Pro and they all seem to be "Meh, it's a nice little bump but hardly gen 2". So... What DOES Gen 2 look like?

With Ready Player One out in cinemas and a few new headsets on the horizon, Virtual Reality is in the news again. I've been a fan of VR since the original Developer Kit of the Oculus Rift (known as the DK1) went on Kickstarter, I remember when I first received the DK1 and tried it out in 2013, my world was changed forever.
