Jevons paradox is happening in real time. Companies, especially outside of tech, are realizing that they can now afford to take on software projects that they wouldn’t have been able to tackle before because now AI lets them do so.
We’re going to start to use software for all new things in the economy because it’s incrementally cheaper to produce. Marketing teams at big companies will have engineers helping to automate workflows. Engineers in life sciences and healthcare will automate research. Small businesses will hire engineers for the first to build better digital experiences.
And as long as AI agents still require a human who understands what to prompt, how to review when an agent goes off the rails, how it guide back, how to maintain the system that was built, how to fix the ongoing bugs, and more, we will still have humans managing these agents.
This is why all the advice you get of not going into engineering is wrong. The world is going to increasingly be made up of software, and the people that understand it best will be in a strong economic position. This will happen in other roles as well where output goes up and demand increases.
Engineering job openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over 3 years
There are over 67,000 (!!!) eng openings at tech companies globally right now, with 26,000 just in the U.S. We don’t know if there would have been more open roles if not for AI or if AI is actually leading to more open roles, but since the start of this year, the increase in open eng roles is accelerating even more.
Dear @BBCSurrey even thought it is over the Hampshire border thought you might like to know it’s “Bordon” not “Borden” bbc.com/news/articles/ckg96n…
Jaw dropping stuff in today’s @FT profile of @RachelReevesMP - if you need to tell people to treat you with respect…
Anyone here knows about courier services in Northern Ireland used by Swissport to deliver lost bags? Apparently my bag is being delivered but I really need it asap and have no idea where it is!
He could of course choose to waive legal privilege and publish the “specialist” legal advice (or even a summary) but no doubt it contains some awkward stuff….
Further to my statement tweeted on 5th July 2025. I have now had a chance to take specialist legal advice from an expert in the relevant field. In light of that advice, which is privileged and which I choose to keep private at this time, I have decided to continue my parliamentary career as an independent MP where I can focus 100% on the interests of my constituents.
The most exciting moment in golf that I can remember and this is what I get via Now TV… does @skytv have no ads for me?
Incredible article from @JeffreyGoldberg. However wish he’d been a bit more cunning and asked some awkward questions of Walz and co about all this BEFORE revealing he had the entire chat ✊🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥 theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Statement.
At Reform UK we have a monumental task on our hands in order to save our country.
There is a huge amount of pressure on Nigel and our team to deliver for the British public. I did not come into politics for personal gain, like my colleagues I stepped forward because I wanted to help save my country.
Joining Reform UK is the best thing I have ever done in politics and this is our last chance to turn things around in our country. But politics is a team game and we must work as a team. I was the first ever Reform UK MP and my first loyalty will always be to my country. I have a great deal of respect for Rupert Lowe and as his Chief Whip I have bent over backwards to be fair with him since he entered Parliament.
But his unwillingness to cooperate in an investigation into his behaviour has meant the Parliamentary party cannot function effectively whilst Rupert is a Reform UK MP.
There is far too much at stake and by not taking decisive action we would risk losing everything we have built up.
I bare no malice towards Rupert and to remove the whip was a deeply painful thing to do, but delivering for our country must come first and no man is bigger than our party.

Congratulations to @KemiBadenoch on her election as leader of the Conservative Party. I was delighted to support her campaign and look forward to her leadership.
