Mihail Eric announced the new edition of his Stanford course The Modern Software Developer, nine months in the making. His thesis: AI-native developers of the LLM era will become the most important members of any software organization. The 10-week course reflects the step-function improvement in coding agents since Opus 4.5, and all resources and lectures will be freely available online—aimed at vibe-coders wanting foundations for Claude Code and Codex.
