And to think, the Cluely bro could have just aced his Netflix interview loop, shut the fuck up and coasted on his half million tc. But nope. lol all the morons here who cheered him on, as though an ai cheating startup is some noble pursuit.
Corey Quinn@QuinnyPig

Affected client: @cluely Yes, that Cluely, the company that sells AI overlays to help people cheat interviews. A company whose entire value prop is undetectable deception was getting its compliance from a company whose entire value prop is undetectable deception. Synergy!

Dax, I dont want to blow you up man, but holy shit this is one of the worst tweets ive seen in my life, people trust you, and you are telling them 2 things: 1) Dont write specs because we are lazy 2) Just think about everything in the shape of your computer language This is so completely disconnected from our current reality I dont even know where to begin. But its just sad that people look up to you and this is what they are going to read.

i'm so glad to see all this because i had a gut aversion to writing specs it felt like it was as much work as writing the code and its way more fun thinking through things by writing the code (with ai) you all articulated why that is better - was worried i'd be forced into writing specs one day

damn this is so good and encapsulates everything I've been seeing/saying in the last few months - a spec that is sufficiently detailed to generate code with a reliable degree of quality is roughly the same length and detail as the code itself - so don't review those things, just review the code at that point, if you care enough about that level of abstraction - unless you're vibing side projects or prototypes (yes, even zero-to-one software), you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD care about the code at that level of abstraction - you need to find SOME way to get more leverage over coding agents though, because just reading all that code is a pain, esp when a lot of it is slop - the default/dare-i-say-decel way is to go back to "i own the execution, and give little things to the agent, check it along the way" - the accel-but-safe-way is to find something - NOT A SPEC (the word "spec" is broken anyway) - NOT 3 INVOCATIONS OF AskUserQuestion - that lets you resteer the model *before* it slops out N-thousand LOC
gabby@GabriellaG439

New blog post: "A sufficiently detailed spec is code" I wrote this because I was tired of people claiming that the future of agentic coding is thoughtful specification work. As I show in the post, the reality devolves into slop pseudocode haskellforall.com/2026/03/a-suff…

@__Cscott93 @champwebdotnet Because its the greatest racing on earth and the purest racing on earth. And the Indy 500 is the greatest sporting event in human history. Once you get up here everything else is just fuckin dull. Also, taxi cabs are fucking retarded

@champwebdotnet I like a lot of your stuff but I don't understand why you are so tribal towards Indycar. Why not just enjoy all racing... ?

But it is. Haha this isn’t that hard to understand. The advertisers got what they paid for not a theoretic audience.
Aidan@scuderiaidan

@champwebdotnet There’s nuance though. The numbers would likely not be so close if this NASCAR race was on FOX

This whole segment just rubs me the wrong way Jensen is very clearly talking up his book: wanting to see companies spend *much* more $$$ on GPUs / tokens... to increase NVIDIA revenue even more... to do the same thing as they already do (build software, as they have before)
TFTC@TFTC21

Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

This kind of tweet (if true) makes it clear that there is definitely a skill in learning to use agents effectively for tasks. And being smart/capable in the "old world" is not a guarantee of success. So maybe there is something to the "you'll be left behind" meme.

Just let Opus go for over an hour on a new feature. When it was done, I asked how I can test it. 20 minutes later, it realized I can't test it because it did the whole thing entirely wrong. Idk how you guys use this model every day for real work 🙃

Dude you’re missing the point. A pay driver from the basement series insulted David fucking Malukas. He embarrassed every single person associated with NASCAR on a professional level in ways that are fucking mind blowing. He’ll be lucky to have a job. People who don’t know who David is don’t understand how insane this is

@Tom_Engels_Desk It’s crazy because he was being a jerk and deserved to get called out but because NASCAR wildly overreacted now people feel compelled to defend him. They could have just made him apologize. Now he’s a martyr for comedic free speech. This is why tolerance is dying actually.

@JordiCarSeries You’re missing the point. That fact is why it’s the worst fucking racing on the planet and only absolute retards call it the pinnacle of motorsports. Hey that’s great watching a technology demonstration has value. But nobody’s fooling anybody with this dog shit racing

It’s hilarious to read this argument of “anyone couldve won in x car” My brother in Christ, if the driver is racing in the fastest car is because he earned to race in that car. There are a few exemptions but at least 90% of drivers in the fastest car are there for a good reason

@MyMusicXMeMusic @kylegawley I think I can explain that to you. It’s because all of your arguments are so fucking dumb. The only response is ridicule. I mean, there’s no other possible way to respond.

@kylegawley The most assertive support for AI comes in the form of insult, ridicule, or shaming of those wary of it - indicating that the case for it is insubstantial.

Watching people cry about Jensen‘s comment that professional engineers should use power tools and it occurred to me, the worst part about these people throwing their temper tantrum is how they’re just not on the team helping us figure out how to use the power tools. If you’re just gonna pound on a keyboard for the rest of your life fine, but we don’t have time for this shit. You sit around and cry about how it’s not perfect while we’re trying to fucking make it better. And if you’re just gonna fucking bitch and moan instead of helping us make it better just go the fuck home go do something else. You think you’re maintaining the status quo when you’re really trying to just drag us back into the mud pit. Fuck off with this shit. Not a single one of you is a fucking engineer.

@wookash_podcast This guy ain’t tokenmaxing. Bro, if you’re not cooking them tokens, just go find something else to do. We have power tools now. This is like saying “we’re going to make sure the carpenters are using power saws”

This is the third time this week (!) I hear people tying a relationship between tokens and engineer salary. It doesn't make any sense rationally. The only reason I can see is to normalize comparing engineer salary to tokens, as if paying X for an engineer should be equivalent to paying X for tokens. The goal seems to be sending a message to CEOs to think of engineers as replaceable tokens. And to top that - in tech, and especially hardware industry obsessed with metrics - where is the "productivity" measurement? How do you know $1 of tokens give you the same as $1 engineer time? businessinsider.com/jensen-huang-5…
