Sorry the best reasoning model that has ever existed took 10 seconds. "Why isn't it .1 second yet?!" People, come on now.
We have our big stupid magic trick folks - Strawberry arrives in two weeks! OpenAI's new model will uh, take 10-20 seconds to give slightly better answers? And it's buggy? OpenAI is getting desperate and this is a real deal pale horse.

Kamala: eats Doritos, wears earbuds while ignoring others, and is always prepared. She’s that 10x engineer who's seen some shit, runs your company servers out of a corner closet, and doesn’t trust 'The Cloud.' You want her in your code review, but she'll judge your monoids.

You're not the only thing sweating. look at the high blob of humidity in the Midwest. That's from corn sweat! Corn releases a lot of moisture in the summer and that means high humidity.

They're too busy shipping code.
I'd be really interested in watching a stream of the programming workflow of a developer that is 1) primarily using genAI (e.g. Cursor + Sonnet) for everything, and 2) really good at their job. I cannot find any content that makes sense to me.

It's been pretty great getting to pull out a bunch of python dependency manager cruft and replace it with uv @astral_sh. My .zshrc files have never felt so clean.

You love to see solid product get the recognition they deserve. Happy @cursor_ai user.
We've raised $60M from Andreessen Horowitz, Jeff Dean, John Schulman, Noam Brown, and the founders of Stripe and Github. Cursor has become recognized as the best way to code with AI, powered by an ensemble of custom and frontier models, delightful editing, and petabyte-scale.

What all of us have been saying offline, @randyzwitch says online. Sort've surprised @astral_sh hasn't already snagged @tdhopper🤔.
I would simply hire Tim for the DevRel group at @astral_sh 🧐.
