@karomancer I'm going to keep an eye out for these "casual intensifiers." What a great term.

Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here
I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream.
I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter."
How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it.
Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it.
I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder.
I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it.
You all are fired,

Had a great time on my 1st ever X space with @fitzgerald1337!
I've thought of hosting an interview series with my fave entrepreneurs, researchers, and artists in tech, but I always got tied up with logistics.
Would people be interested in that in X Space form?

@karomancer Alright but I've entered my 40s. That's just a taller vantage point.. right?!

@karomancer "Okay I know I've already done this 7 times but just maybe..."
It is a cool view though

I released Laravel Debugbar 4.0!
Check the release blog: fruitcake.nl/blog/laravel-d…
This brings a lot of changes under the hood (like php-debugbar 3, no jquery, optimized loading) but also a lot of Laravel improvements (better Livewire/Inertia/Octane support) and more collectors!

@Madisonkanna Small for now. But big book club must grow larger!
English

i wrote an essay about this that is coming out on my very new substack probably soon madisonkanna.substack.com/about
i've been on substack more lately because my twitter has become too big and people yell at me a lot, but substack is small and intimate (i only have 200 subscribers)

as a software engineer, i feel a real loss of identity right now.
for a long time i defined myself in part by the act of writing code. the pride in a hard-earned solution was part of who i was. now i watch AI accomplish in seconds what took me hours. i find myself caught between relief and mourning, awe and anxiety. the craft that shaped me is suddenly eclipsed by a machine. who am i now?

@marcelpociot After these instructions they still might not have written any php lol
English

If you've never written PHP in your life, do these things tonight:
1. Download PHP from php.new or use Laravel Herd
2. Run "laravel new my-awesome-idea"
3. Run Claude Code and build something amazing
I guarantee you that it'll be an awesome experience!

@alexandersix_ Want to say Nuno did a video on it.

@Madisonkanna @AmazinAz Also, in part those old school reps were how we built understanding in the first place. Will likely need to carve out time to still do them, or atrophy.
English

@AmazinAz I wasn't saying that. I agree with you, my reps as an eng are amplified now. but I do still feel a loss of identity as i no longer write the code as much myself or sometimes ai finds the bugs that i used to take pride in finding. reasonable take, no?
English

I genuinely don't understand this take. For AI to do the "right" thing you need to know what that looks like. All the reps you gained as a Software Engineer are now amplified to reach the true goal of delivering value instead of toiling away in syntax and logic. Unsubscribed
