@offpaths @robj3d3 @levelsio Best of luck man!

I Left my job and life in the uk. I’m betting on myself. 2026 is the year to build my business with my best friends, shipping, and experiences with new people. I’m going to post and document everything through my videos on X. @robj3d3 and @levelsio, thanks for the motivation to push myself out of my comfort zone. It’s going to be lit!

@Youkhna @attn_os 🔥

I got tired of juggling Notion, Slack, Gmail, iMessage, Linear. So I built attn. One feed. One flow.

@yongfook You’ve been around too long, old man. 😅😂

2000 - Rails etc: "Building is not the hard part now. Marketing is" 2010 - React / Vue etc: "Building is not the hard part now. Marketing is" 2020 - Nocode: "Building is not the hard part now. Marketing is" 2026 - Claude etc: "Building is not the hard part now. Marketing is"

This is amazing!!

@JamesGillespieX @fashiongiik @t_blom @ryan_t_brown The problem with all of this is human taste is an ever moving target. Fun times though.

@fashiongiik @t_blom @ryan_t_brown I think even if you were to improve the datasets, it still wouldn't be enough. It may even be that AGI is a prerequisite for making an agentic, artistically creative AI.

This will remain true for about 2 more months.

@cybereality @samwhoo Lol

@samwhoo This is a duplicate tweet. Please see these 2 other tweets that have nothing to do with your post. Also, your use of "holy shit" is against our community guidelines, and you've been banned.

StackOverflow graph of questions asked per month. Holy shit.

@flybayer So what you’re saying is, you are the bottleneck? 😉

For really complex work, AI writes thousands of lines of working code within an hour But then I spend 1-3 days to fully understand, prompt deep refactors, improve end user UX, and ensure all edge cases are working and tested. That’s even after crafting a long, detailed plan document at the start. Because with complex stuff, you can’t foresee and address everything up front. A lot of times this is foundational stuff that is critical to get right in order to not cripple your future self.

> This whole thing is just a really big learning experience for me, and I'm really enjoying it. Build, fail forward, and keep shipping. Basically what it boils down to. Excellent read.

@Jaytel 💀

For building our EOY reel, I used to open After Effects. This time, I opened Cursor. We built a hyper-specific Mac app to sequence all the clips: - Random reshuffling to try different orders - Transforms + background color fill - Global clip-length adjustment - Visual thumbnail timeline That kind of shuffling + global tweaking + visual grid just isn’t possible in another tool.

@rohanpdofficial @Cloudflare @shadcn @vite_js @honojs @dok2001 @elithrar @threepointone Thanks @rohanpdofficial, this looks amazing. Looking forward to trying it!

Introducing Localflare 🔥 The missing dashboard for local @Cloudflare development One command. Zero config. Full visibility into your D1, KV, R2, Queues, and Durable Objects. Here's what I built ↓ Built w/ @shadcn @vite_js @honojs @dok2001 @elithrar @threepointone @ritakozlov @boristane @theo @CloudflareDev @burcs @eastdakota @KankaniAbhishek @irvinebroque

@Swizec @thdxr This guy gets it

@thdxr cut scope not corners

ship something shitty fast and fix it later culture just does not produce anything great there's mountains of rationale as to why you should do that but i've never seen it work and it always turns the company into a painful place to work nothing going on right now changes this

@jarrodwatts Having AI interview you is the best technique for most tasks that require that authentic touch. Really good for blog posts or any post for that matter.

This is an excellent prompt. Slop is a result of AI misinterpreting what you're asking - a skill issue from the user. By repeatedly narrowing down the task to be more specific, you remove the potential for misinterpretations to occur, and end up with far better results.

@mitsuhiko 10 for github copilot and you can get the same thing. These people need more than credits, they need workflows that they can retrace for themselves. It really does require a different perspective. And don’t ask me, I can’t be arsed.

If you are a programmer and an AI hold-out, and you have some time off during Christmas: gift yourself a 100 USD subscription to Claude Code and … try it. But really try it. Take a week if you can afford it and dive in. It will change your opinion on these tools.

My feed is full of software engineer cope, and I love it.

@anshnanda Stop acting like an engineer, start acting like a manager, then the game changes.

Peter is a Staff-Level engineer that ships code he never reads. And you’re too scared of Vibecoding?

@blank_spacets @devagrawal09 200 on ai slop

@devagrawal09 100 bucks it's about how shitty javascript is

an unlikely trio appears

@svpino Code has always been a means to an end.

Lately, I've gain a ton of respect for vibe-coders. We are here on our high horses, telling them how their code is shit and how models can't fix their messes, but they just don't care. Many of these folks are simply optimizing for a different outcome. For them, code is just a means to an end. They don't care about maintainability, elegance, or correctness because they aren't planning to touch the code. They care about shipping their idea before they forget. Do you know how many ideas I've had that I've never executed on because I didn't have the time or was too lazy to get off my couch? I can learn a thing or two from people willing to make things happen, even when so many aristocrats tell them they shouldn't.

@Smooth_Runnings @haridigresses @practiklyperfct @0xHorseman I think you should take a step back & think about it a different way, you’ve just been promoted kind of way. When you’re a manager, you’re thinking about the outcome, not the nitty gritty. Once you let go, it becomes clear. Try one day without thinking about all the small details

@haridigresses @practiklyperfct @0xHorseman I'm asking simple questions that should be easy to answer since you're the expert? I don't know what you're trying to imply.

Corollary: this is the best possible time for semi-technical non-engineers to catch up. Over the last 3 months, I went from someone who was a "technical PM" to ridiculously proliferous at shipping massive amounts of (what appears to be) quality code. Systems thinking + domain expertise are now FAR more important than the syntax of individual lines of code. In fact... getting caught up in the lines of code might actually be a hinderance. For context: I learned C++ in high school, then I was an Excel-monkey in my consulting days (but building complex models over 10-20 weeks that were basically data applications). I forgot any form of syntax over the last 20 years but the other experiences meant I built strong foundations in object-oriented programming, proper abstractions, systems thinking, and data structures. And I've spent most of my career in Finance, Biz Ops, Legal, HR... which means that I can be monstrously productive in building software for corporate finance teams. How productive? 500k+ LoC touched and hundreds of commits, in 11 weeks. Yes, yes, I know lines of code is not a KPI to optimize, but someone going from 0 to that order of magnitude should still paint a picture. And this isn't slop. It's reviewed by actual engineers on the team, and we're rigorous about PR reviews (in the earlier days I had to redo PRs from scratch many, many times because it wasn't good enough). The overall process works beautifully, because I have the multi-year product roadmap and the codebase architecture in my head. I'm able to consider future needs, and execute on a months-long roadmaps... in days. I genuinely feel like I just got access to a video game I've been yearning to play, for a long time... and somehow my copy came with God mode baked in. (This is funny because Andrej Karpathy is actually a god in this space and I'm probably just getting used to the power of building software, and just a teeny bit of Dunning-Kruger to boot...) But still. I share this because I chatted a few days ago with a close friend who's a really sharp systems thinker but not an engineer, who said "I feel like I missed the wave, it's too late for me to pick up vibecoding." I told him that I only began working in our codebase in earnest in early October. That things are changing so fast that those who previously learned to code are having to sprint really hard to keep up, too. That knowing the line-by-line syntax isn't the most critical for *most* products. That the game is changing every week... but that's a huge gift people like us, because it gives us a place to stand in order to move the world. And most of all, that if you're a systems thinker, have good taste in UI/UX, have domain expertise, and — I think this is somewhat important — that you love software... there is absolutely nothing stopping you from building something amazing. I *love* software. I thought several times about taking a detour to learn how to code, but life just never slowed down enough. Ironically, it was the practice of coding speeding up that gave me the opportunity to get on board. However long this lasts, I feel so fortunate to be able to actually get in there, and build something that I love.
