  • What up, nerds?

  • I'm Jared, and this is Changelog News for the week of Monday, July 7th, 2025.

  • Good news about our upcoming Denver live show.

  • Not only will Breakmaster Cylinder be in attendance.

  • BMC is now officially performing some fresh and some classic changelog beats on stage 30 minutes prior to our 10 a.m. start.

  • So if you were planning on arriving just before 10,

  • get your ear holes to the Oriental Theater a little bit earlier.

  • And if you haven't bought your ticket yet, you now have one more reason to get in on it.

  • They're 15 bucks cheap and free for changelog plus plus members.

  • Head to changelog.com slash live.

  • What are you waiting for?

  • An engraved invitation?

  • Okay, let's get into this week's news.

  • Full-breath developers for the win.

  • Much like myself, Justin Searles turned the corner on generative coding tools.

  • Quote, it may not map to any particular splashy innovation or announcement,

  • but everyone agrees generative coding tools crossed a significant capability threshold recently.

  • It's what led me to write this.

  • Justin explains how he did it, but the key insight is this.

  • He embodies the entirety of the problem-solution space.
