Finally, the block building pipeline. In Glamsterdam, Ethereum is getting ePBS, which lets proposers outsource to a free permissionless market of block builders. This ensures that block builder centralization does not creep into staking centralization, but it leaves the

This is less AI driven and more of a realization you hired way too many people with insane levels of inefficiency.
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are

Reasons to be excited about Flexnodes: - Makes blockchains faster - Super low hardware requirements to run one - A way to earn from simply using your internet bandwidth - No slashing, no penalties for being offline
Today we conclude our Network Topology series by answering some important questions about Flexnodes: - What are the impacts of Flexnodes entering and exiting a network? - Will there be any uptime requirements or downtime penalties for operators?

Do not use REST + polling + āis it done?ā endpoints, use async jobs + webhook/callbacks + idempotency keys. Do not use cron + bash scripts + hope, use a workflow engine (Temporal / Argo Workflows) with retries, timeouts, and history. Do not use ālogs in prodā debugging, use
Do not use BigQuery + Snowflake + Redshift, use ClickHouse for low latency interactive analytical queries. Do not use MongoDB + Elasticsearch, use PostgreSQL for documents plus relational queries together. Do not use SQLite + pandas, use DuckDB for fast local analytical SQL

My timeline is now mostly things I care aboutā¦DBs, scaling distributed systems, MVCC, fine tuning and profiling. No more AI toy app slop. Nature is healing āŗļø

Very good insights on complex systems. This is where I think agent skills can drastically help.

I canāt be the only one who thinks that with the advent of AI permeating every facet of daily life, that it will lead to a massive atrophy of critical thinking and professional skills?

Go has become my default / go-to language. 1. Itās great for backend and distributed systems Networking, concurrency, and services feel first-class. Writing servers, workers, and infra code is exactly what Go was designed for. 2. Itās boring in the best way Few language
Rust has become my default / go-to language. - Its great for AI - Its versatile, many times i need to reach for some python or C code, in node its janky, not in rust. - If i still want js hooks, then i can add @napi_rs and now import it / use it alongside anything else. -

Glad Iām not the only one. How do I get out? Delete X? Start over? @elonmusk halp
Is it just me? My entire timeline is filled with AI coding tweets, nothing about specific tech or any actual code like there used to be. Maybe the algorithm put me in a bubble hereā¦

Thank you for confirming that Iām not insane. The app is putting pure garbage on my timeline. No one cares about your vibe-coded toy Rust app. AI isnāt mass replacing engineers. Doom and gloom and pessimism is an easy sell. Humans cling to it. Go touch some grassā¦
Had to uninstall X from my app because I was honestly getting pretty anxious. My feed has become people saying all careers are dead in 1 year and everyone should prepare for the collapse of the economy. Might very much be true but not a good thing to read over and over.
