“Gated”? There’s no profession in the world that’s as open as software engineers when it comes to sharing knowledge. Almost everything is open source. My non engineering friends can’t even fathom what it means to open source years of hardwork to be used for free

Software used to be gated by roughly 20 million professional developers up until last year. Good ideas still needed engineers, co-founders, time, and months of app work. Now, anyone can build. ~ Wabi CEO Eugenia Kuyda

@artee_49 @FastCompany @garrytan you are missing the point, by the time system gets to that level the gradient descent would have self corrected already

this thread is what mass cope from legacy devs looks like. i talked to @FastCompany about why @garrytan's "AI slop" is actually the future of software engineering. the mass code review. the line-by-line gatekeeping. the "craftsmanship" that was really just slow iteration disguised as rigor - that era is over. and the engineers who built their entire identity around it are panicking. @gregorein brags about burning 3 billion tokens last year while dunking on garry for flexing lines of code. i've burned 6.6 billion in the past three months on codex alone. by his own logic, i'm 8x as credible. see how silly that sounds? yes, he found real issues. yes, they got fixed. that's exactly the point. karpathy's autoresearch proved this already - AI agents can solve very complex problems just by operating inside feedback loops, iterating to optimize a loss function. this is what software engineering is now - gradient descent. ship, measure, self-correct, repeat. all by the agent itself. this is the new startup playbook. your job isn't to review every line before deploy. your job is to build systems where agents observe outcomes - mrr, analytics, error rates, user behavior - and self-improve. the engineer's role shifts from gatekeeper to building the machine that builds the machine. you could run this level of audit (using AI) on any production site and find the same issues - most just don't have a billionaire CEO attached for virality. mocking the people who adapted is easier than adapting. but the craft is evolving whether you like it or not.

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

Ah yes, we developers, who built the software for you, and are famously known with being very open with our knowledge and sharing materials, books, advice and even OSS software, gatekept software.

people who want addons removed from #worldofwarcraft want a game for babies they should be asking for a higher-fidelity base ui instead of asking for addons to be removed

@terrakei07 political culture war. the biggest california haters i know have never been there for any significant amount of time, if at all a lot of it is just country folk parroting what they hear on fox

Pam Bondi will be known as one of the great crime fighters of our time. She is a patriot who has all of our appreciation. Todd Blanche left his comfortable job at a major firm to defend President Trump against horrendous lawfare. He has shown moral courage, strength and exquisite legal talent. Todd will do a great job for the Trump/Vance Administration and us all.
Todd Blanche@DAGToddBlanche

Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship. Thank you to President Trump for the trust and the opportunity to serve as Acting Attorney General. We will continue backing the blue, enforcing the law, and doing everything in our power to keep America safe.

@nsg650 in 2026, this sort of performative activism seem to do more harm than good. we are in the political crosshairs. it’s actually needed in red states, rural areas i’d do more for trans people by just walking into a church or TSC and talking to people like a normal person

@nsg650 there’s a point where real activism turns into grandstanding or pedestaling. at some point, when society accepts us, when can we as trans people stop doing activism? it seems like much of the DEI backlash is based on this reasoning, and i can’t totally disagree

Extremely underrated Hasan Piker moment was when he went on a five minute rant about how the streets should run red with the blood of landlords and like five days later everyone found out his mom owns and manages commercial real estate

@devagrawal09 that said, i wasn’t comfortable coming out until the mid-2010s, so there is some utility to it. but it has a shelf life, and i think we’ve become much more culturally accepted when can we consider ourselves simply integrated? at that point, activism feels like grandstanding

@devagrawal09 i try to interpret this stuff charitably, with best intent assumed i really would love for folks to just stop talking about us and just leave us alone. allies putting us on a pedastal just feels like it makes us a target i just want to be left alone. i don’t want to be purged

Sometimes, DHH makes good points and makes me wonder why everyone calls him crazy Sometimes, DHH drops one from the shitter like this and reminds me that he actually is crazy
DHH@dhh

We're far past the point where this "visibility" nonsense is offering any net value to anyone. Every performative post like these chip away at any goodwill saved from doing good work. Just ship code people like without the identity stickers! That's the best form of visibility.

@albertmetzz @garrytan you still have to do the engineering if you are truly serious about this. but you do it at much much higher levels of abstraction. you’re a harness engineer, a knowledge framework developer, something like that

@albertmetzz @garrytan as a result, once i have my architectural foundation solid and well-documented, (again, the agent doing the wordsmithing and typing) it becomes very easy to make changes at that point, what garry dreams of - generating code with only PO skills - is much closer

I probably should stop trolling the haters on the LOC thing but tbh no promises
@levelsio@levelsio

I have no dog in this fight and unaffiliated with YC but agree completely Maybe because I've never seen myself as a real "proper" coder and just wanted to build things and that's what AI lets more people do now We're moving towards a time where AI just generates binary blobs as code and reading the source code will be a thing of the past So in a way the obsession over LOCs is irrelevant for both Garry but also the people hating him Where we're going LOCs don't exist anymore anyway!
