@omerdotjs @adamthewilliam Spot on 😂

@adamthewilliam Claude code feels like a World of Warcraft private server, opencode feels like a new expansion

Claude Code compacting is painful. Auto-compact has been broken for months, and now compacting on plan start isn’t working either

@sam_knight87669 @atmoio Have you heard of diminishing returns?

@atmoio How is it not earth shattering that a general purpose algorithm that didn't exist until a few years ago can produce minimally adequate white collar work 65% of the time? Do we expect these results to suddenly stop improving?

AI is struggling to take our jobs

GitHub has been around since April 10, 2008 Agent's came out yesterday yes, GitHub was in fact NOT designed for Agents

@omerdotjs @varga5ty He’s French that’s way worse…

@varga5ty @TheSustayne Space before question mark, psychopath

Always knew python was a trash language. Seems like trash creates trash.

@varga5ty Nice comeback, was expecting a white flag from you 😂

@TheSustayne Being a shit coder is better than being a shit person ( zionist) lmaoooo

@varga5ty Nah, just means you’re a shit coder. Lmaooooo

@TheSustayne Is it now antisemitic to code in Python ? Lmaooooo

you know how everything is made out of plastic and feels like crap but still technically works we've been headed this way with software for a while but at least we used to be embarrassed by it now people are proud of how much they don't care

@aarondotdev Pretty good take IMO. No doubt AI is useful, heck I use it daily, however the fearmongering online is mostly marketing and all of the AI bros talking about the future fail to address diminishing returns.

the ugly truth is that LLMs are clearly plateauing in how "intelligent" they seem. they are NOT to the point where they can fully take over coding. anyone who thinks so is either: >not running a product at scale (it's great for MVPs) >has a vested interest in ppl believing AGI is 6 months out >has no idea how to code yes, there were huge leaps in model capabilities before. but you can count them on one hand. the large companies are quite literally out of data to train these models on, so they're trying different things like synthetic data, better post-training RL loops, task-based fine-tuning. these are all guesses though. and we haven't been seeing much progress since the last big wave imo (grok 4, gemini 2.5 pro, o3) almost all proven AI researchers have agreed (and in some cases predicted) this drop off in model quality based on these scaling laws. in fact, they don't just think that the intelligence returns of scaling will fall off, they think true intelligence is not possible at all with the current LLM based approach. my point is that if you're a cs major, or a teenager that likes to code, or even in your early career you shouldn't consider leaving the field because of AI. right now, this moment in time, this might be the BEST that AI coding tools get. and they are nowhere near replacing competent SWEs. most of what you hear on twitter and in the news are largely propaganda-based glazing of AI because a massive portion of the US economy (all the large tech companies) are basing their future outlook on AI. a ton of people are going to believe this bs and quit learning to code, change jobs, etc. but here's the most realistic timeline of how this is going to play out: >publicly traded companies will layoff a ton of employees and say it's because of AI so stonk go up. my company did this a couple years ago. block did it last week. more will do the same. >cs major will become less competitive because junior hiring has gone down. less people will go into cs. >only the most dedicated and genuinely interested will remain in cs majors. >tons of large companies and small companies and individuals will build a metric fuckload or features using cursor, lovable, etc >these features will look like a mosaic of the most architectural patterns you could ever imagine. how do i know? because i read every single line of code my AI comes up with. probably 70% of it is completely retarded, but if i were to test it, it would "work". >the SECOND any of these vibe coded shills get any sort of traction, their systems will literally melt because LLMs are garbage at real system architecture. why? because any company at real scale isn't letting dario and sama train on their source code. that would be retarded. >now we have a ton of people with products that are making money but need someone to come in and fix their shit. good thing we still have those people who got a cs degree because they actually enjoy this task. AI isn't going to make more software jobs. it's going to make a LOT more shitty software. an unfathomable amount of badly written applications that will need to be rewritten from the ground up.

@mattpocockuk This is assuming models improve without diminishing returns. I’m not sure it’s a very reasonable assumption. Also, wouldn’t this outcome necessitate low software entropy training data?

A possible future: For the last 30 years, devs have made the sensible assumption that every time a human touches a codebase under time pressure, the codebase gets less maintainable. This is called software entropy. It's only possible to escape by continual monitoring and improvement. Or by employing ONLY 10x devs (impossible). The current generation of LLMs aren't currently good enough to escape software entropy. Without careful supervision, they make codebases worse. But soon, they will be good enough that they will make the codebase better each time they touch it. At that point, we won't need human review any more. Codebases will be better as a black box. We'll review inputs and outputs. Before Opus 4.5, models produced software entropy at an alarming rate. Opus 4.5 was the first time I felt like the entropy was manageable. Soon, there might not be any entropy at all.

Let me say this in the clearest possible terms. If you’re concerned with Israel’s response, if you’re focused on the people of Gaza right now, you’re either ignorant or intentionally hypocritical. 2005: Israel handed Gaza over on a silver platter. No “occupation”, no Israeli presence, nothing. 100% theirs. If they wanted anything other than dead Jews, they had the chance. In what world is it normal to demand a country provide water and electricity to its enemy when there is clear evidence that they are using those water pipes to create rockets that then kill Israelis? You’re worried about the electricity and water in Gaza? You can provide it. Don’t want to? Then keep your mouth shut. They have nowhere to go those poor Palestinians? Why don’t you go look at a map? They have a border with Egypt. Let them take them in if they care so much. Oh, Egypt doesn’t want them? Did you hear that? That was my heart breaking for them. Egypt can take them. They don’t want them? Not my problem. You’re worried about a disproportionate response by Israel? Kindly tell me what a proportionate response would look like. Because if we did what they did to us, that would require the murder, abduction, and rape of over a thousand people. Is that what you’re recommending Israel does? Because that’s pretty sick of you. And once and for all, we need to unequivocally reject the false narrative of “They’re not all Hamas supporters so Israel has no right to attack Gaza.” A- The Palestinian people elected Hamas. Make up your mind. If they’re a people who you believe deserve a state then it’s time you held them accountable as a people. They elected Hamas. They will pay for that tragic decision. B- The Palestinian people, not 100, 1,000, or 10,000 of them, give out candies when innocent Jews are murdered. Have you seen thousands of Palestinians speaking out against Hamas? I haven’t. Where are they? Their silence is all I need to know. C- In every war in the history of the world, innocent people die. That fact, as sad as it might be, has zero relevance to whether the war is justified or not. Need I remind you how many innocent Germans died in WWII? Israel is fighting Nazis now. Zero difference. In war, innocent people die. D- And finally, don’t come at me with the whole “They can’t speak out. Hamas will kill them.” Where have we heard that before? “I was just fulfilling orders. I had no choice.” Oh yes, that was what the Nazis said. It was not a legit argument then and it’s not a legit argument now. What Israel experienced on October 7th was the equivalent of 9/11 times 50. Israel WILL retaliate accordingly and it will not stop no matter how much you throw your double standard at us. We not only have every right to do whatever we can to obliterate Hamas, we have a moral obligation to do so. You might not know this now, but a world without Hamas is a safer world for you and your children. If you didn’t complain when ISIS was defeated, if you think WWII was justified in order to defeat the Nazis, then you can either stand with Israel while we cleanse the world of Hamas savages or you can go ahead and keep your mouth shut while we do the work from which you will benefit. If you have any integrity at all, go read the charters of Hamas and the PLO. If you’re honest, ask yourself what “From the river to the sea” means. Look at a map if you can’t figure it out. It means no Israel. Do you support that? Throwing all Israelis into the sea? Because that’s what that means. If you are still delusional enough to think they want a state, go Google The Partition Plan. They had one. They rejected it. Then google how many times Israel offered them a state. And if, after all that, you still think the Palestinian’s agenda is anything other than total genocide of the Jewish people, congratulations, you have earned the privilege of being named a flaming antisemite who supports murder and rape. I’m sure your mother is proud. 🤮

@10elilevi ברשתות החברתיות יש אמירה מפורסמת - Pics or it didn't happen.

משטרת ישראל רואה בחומרה את תקיפתם ופציעתם של 12 שוטרים במהלך הפרות הסדר שהתרחשו היום. משטרת ישראל רואה בזכות המחאה כאבן יסוד במדינה דמוקרטית אך יחד עם זאת ננהג באפס סובלנות לאלימות כלפי שוטרים ופגיעה בסמלי שלטון , פגיעה ונזק לתשתיות , הסתה לאלימות ברשת והפרות סדר.

@Baconbrix @Target Same with us at Wix. We call our dev version “The Orange App”

💡 The @Target iOS app uses a stenciled version of their App icon for internal development builds. Great for distinguishing when both are installed on-device.

@BenCaspit הגיע הזמן שיתחילו לדבר על הפיתרון האמיתי. היפרדות עכשיו!

לא ייאמן

@gantzbe מכרת אותנו. שוב.

אני מבקש לפנות לאזרחים שתומכים בחקיקה: אני מבין גם את הכאב שלכם, את הדאגות שלכם. אתם אחים שלי. אני לא רוצה להביס אתכם – אני רוצה שנחיה כאן ביחד במדינה יהודית, דמוקרטית, ליברלית ובטוחה. אני מתכוון להגיע לחדר להידברות בלב פתוח ובנפש חפצה. לא במטרה להכניע, אלא במטרה להצליח!

Been working on @elmlang for over a decade now, so I put together some fun stories to celebrate. Met so many lovely people through this project, and it was a heartwarming surprise to see so many of you in the chat 🥰 Thank you @realmario for organizing! youtube.com/watch?v=Vexdf-…

@Baconbrix Not quite sure what you mean by ‘examples’ but I’ve always seen Detox as the mobile equivalent of Puppeteer or Playwright for e2e testing

What are the best examples of using Detox?
