Jason Gorman writes Codemanship's Blog, a personal blog at codemanship.wordpress.com about programming, ai and career. Since 2023, 21 different Hacker News readers have linked it 36 times, most often “AI Software Development – What Does the Data Say?”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-18, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite Jason Gorman's Codemanship posts on AI and software development, including a series on writing good software with AI and the 'Gorman Paradox' on timing the intelligence explosion.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Not where, when. Asking where is the intelligence explosion suffers the same issue as the Gorman Paradox[1] - the question proceeded the explosion by six months. Timing explosions is like timing the market - infinitely harder than predicting eventual existence. 1. https://codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/12/14/the-gorman-para...

HN discussionI think there is a bit of the map territory relation here. > First, it's not a question of decidability but of tractability The question of decidability is a form of many-to-one, reduction. In fact RE-complete is defined by many-to-one reductions. In a computational complexity sense, tractability is a far stronger notion. Basically an algorithm efficient if its time complexity at most PTIME for any size n input. A p…

HN discussionRight here: https://codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/the-ai-ready-so... This series of articles is gold. Unsurprisingly, writing good software with AI follows the same principles as writing it without AI. Keep scopes small. Ship, refactor, optimize, and write tests as you go.
