One of my reasons why I hate Go Lang, Rob is basically saying "we designed the language for idiots, because they're stupid and will not be smart enough to understand a better language"

pure bullshit, they haven't disrupted shit. They can't even generate a C compiler even after the source code is already freely available. utter trash.

My friends at @AnthropicAI literally sit around a table and "pick 3 to 4 industries they can disrupt every week" and do whatever the best companies do, but better.

how much you rate AI at code generation depends on your own programming aptitude. This is why non techs/juniors/mediocre users over rate it massively. While senior and skilled engineers laugh at it.

I'm 48 and have worked as a software engineer for nearly 30 years. I've grown numb to the Silicon Valley hype machine. My default posture is "meh, we'll see." What I've seen and experienced firsthand in the past two months is not hype. Ignore it at your peril.

instead of doing all that extra shit, just stop using AI in the first place and now you have fixed your productivity because you're not spending enormous time fixing something that shouldn't exist in the first place 🤣

The current state of AI is a paradox. On Monday, your model writes a clean analysis that makes you wonder why you ever hired interns. On Tuesday, it misreads a single line in a legal contract and triggers a management crisis. By Wednesday, your highest-paid employee is

now when CC fucks up badly, you'll keep scream "fix it, make no mistakes" like a desperate loser over and over in a death loop as if batters your slop base into a thicker turd.

Turns out with claude code, my decades long strategy of NOT deeply learning: - regexs - sql - nginx confs - elaborate shell commands - advanced shell scripting - any javascript framework - perf optimization - webpack, cdns, bundlers - 1000 other things ...was entirely correct.

Our CTO hasn’t slept in 36 hours because he’s been obsessively and single-handedly building massive new features with Claude Code’s Agent Teams I genuinely think this might be the biggest paradigm shift in how fast you can build since Claude Code first came out last year

@alexocheema @Jason @openclaw Bro but the local models will not be able to compete with the intelligence of the cloud models, simply based on the fact that more compute = more intelligence. The cloud models are adding compute at a much faster rate than you can add to your home cluster.

create already existing code? this is utter garbage, we can git clone the source code for a c compiler in seconds for free and doesn't need any engineers at all. git clone > all of anthropic efforts. 🤣

Anthropic had 16 AI agents build a C compiler from scratch. 100k lines, compiles the Linux kernel, $20k, 2 weeks. To put that in perspective GCC took thousands of engineers over 37 years to build. (Granted from 1987 - however) One researcher and 16 AI agents just built a

Uncomfortable truth: you're probably not in the 20% who will survive AI. Most people reading this are building generic things. Including me, sometimes. The question isn't 'am I special?' It's 'what am I building that 10,000 other people can't prompt into existence?' Be honest

utter horse shit, studies of development teams have shown that while devs "feel" like they're 19% more productive in reality they were 19% less productive. Spamming lots of code isn't so great when it needs to be verified and cleaned up.

We’re making a fundamental tradeoff when we use these coding agents, but some of my engineering friends still don’t seem to get it. I see a lot of engineers make the argument “AI outputs still aren’t that great, code quality isn’t the same as writing it by hand.” And it’s all
