Hello! I am new to Google summer of code and I'm wondering if anyone knows how the application process works. I opened the website this morning and the button is still grayed out, but it also seems like I was supposed to be emailing the organizations already from their video. Where am I supposed to start? 😅 #gsoc #developers #blog #programming

I don’t think anyone has actually ever written an app. It’s impossible. Every time you try to do one small clean up, you get about seven other ideas, and it goes on. There’s no finishing an app, just a never ending fractal of features and polish.

I normally take PTO days to work on YouTube content. I have been doing this for every single dev job I had in my career. Tomorrow, I’ll be taking one again to work on 2 videos:
🤖 Agentic workflows with MCPs in Unity + Meta MCP Extensions
😎 Getting started with Meta Rayban Display Development!
I do this because I truly love this tech and have huge gut feeling that this is the future, providing these resources to devs early on will help the ecosystem overall.
There were a lot of positive comments around VR/MR agentic workflows after our GDC talk, and also a few negative ones, which I completely understand, especially if you’re a senior developer who appreciates the craftsmanship that comes from writing your own code.
I honestly recommend using a hybrid approach. You’re fully in control, but don’t let fear take over. Using these tools is the future, and this is just the beginning. To add to this, it took me 3-4 weeks to create last year’s demo for the Meta booth. This year, it took about 6-8 hours, honestly mind-blowing, especially when time is so precious. I can now do a lot more. Take advantage of this tech and multiply yourself by using it ;)
I remember always saying, “I wish I could clone myself.” Well, this is how we can do it! 🚀
OpenAI is developing its own GitHub-like code platform after repeated GitHub outages disrupted internal engineering work 🧩.
If offered commercially, it could deepen dependence on OpenAI’s stack while raising fresh questions about developer lock-in, code privacy, and competition with major investors like Microsoft 🔒.

"I know I'm RIGHT!"
This statement was fired at me during a heated technical discussion with my boss earlier in my career.
It was quite a subjective discussion, so such an absolute statement stuck out like a sore thumb.
We very quickly recognised how ridiculous this statement was, and we both burst out laughing. 😂😂
