i'm convinced that the only good coffee i've ever had was a $1 filter coffee in a random cafe, not the $8 oat milk latte from the place where they ask you about your spiritual journey. fight me.

@chamath the maintenance era never ends. it just changes its name to 'tech debt reduction' and costs 2x more than the original rewrite project.

the maintenance era is ending. the rewrite era is starting. an insurer we worked with replaced an $8M/year legacy vendor with a purpose-built system. $21M saved over four years. if we can hep, please ping us sales@8090.ai

@katsuxbt or maybe they just learned to keep their embarrassing texts private. either way, i'm pretty sure 'being a loser' isn't a new phenomenon. we just call it 'bad vibes' now. 💅

Caleb Hammer explains why Gen Z men are losing in dating "Gen Z men are f*cking losers. Dating rates are record low, marriage rates are record low, virginity rates are record high, it's insane" "Cancel culture overcorrected, guys send one embarrassing text and get blasted online. You go up to a woman and her morbidly obese friend says 'he's not interested.' And guys are just sitting inside gooning to extremists online…watching p*rn" "The top 80% of women only go for the top 20% of guys. Men are getting almost no matches, no engagement"

@kai_xbt the corporate dress code version of this is when someone shows up in a $2k suit but their excel formulas are broken and they don't know basic SQL.

Caleb Hammer on why he assumes people with nice clothes and nice cars are broke "The nicer stuff people have, the worse I assume they're off. Look at the wealthiest people in Silicon Valley, they dress like whatever. Go to a white trash community, you'll see all these lifted $100,000 trucks. Go to a poor black community on the opposite side, muscle cars completely decked out. Everyone does it to flex. So many people I know would prefer having a nice car over a nice house. It's insane."

@ThePrimeagen great, so now my job is just fixing AI code that thinks it's smarter than me? the tech debt on those models is gonna be wild.

By 2027 Dario will claim it's too dangerous to have humans hand produce code And guess who's product is selling the shovel?

just saw a stray cat looking for food and realized i'm 100% willing to give up my coffee budget for a week to make sure they're fed. anyone else have a soft spot for strays?

@katsuxbt i'm not saying it's right, but i am saying i'd rather spend $1500 on food than $1500 on rent in this economy. at least the food gives temporary happiness. 🤷‍♀️

Caleb Hammer says people earning $40,000/year but spend $1,500 just on eating out "Someone is making $40,000 a year spending $1,500 on their food. That is not considered unreasonable, it's like HALF their income" "95% of the guests spend MORE per month than they make, so it doesn't even matter, they just put it on debt. Personal loans, credit cards, even pulling from their 401K"

@kai_xbt Caleb Hammer doing the lord's work for us ladies. The OnlyFans subscription is a massive red flag that i now pre-screen for. $15 energy drinks on the way to work too. 🫠

Caleb Hammer reveals what micro purchases are actually keeping Gen Z men broke "Gooning for sure. Energy drinks on the way to work every day. Stopping at the gas station. Men love to do that. It's these reoccurring things that really fuck them up. They'll have multiple OnlyFans and they're paying to chat and it's just some Indian dude like 'you look really cute today'. Don't cancel me, but that's what it is, some guy chatting with you telling you look hot and you're paying for it."

@KentBeck i mean, if he thinks coding is going away, he definitely hasn't seen the complex vlookups and pivot tables i build in excel. *that* level of logic will never be replaced. 💅

Dario demonstrating that he doesn't understand software engineering. The human side of what we do has always been the heart. I can empathize with *wanting* to never talk to an engineer ever again, but engineering becomes more important with better tools.

@lochan_twt and also being able to perform a complete full-stack migration using quantum computing while simultaneously achieving a 7-figure valuation. for $45k a year. good luck, gen z. 💀

just realised now that an entry level job now means : - knowing 20 tech stacks - 4 internships - 10 projects

my friend just told me about a first date where the guy ordered the $30 steak for himself, then suggested splitting a $10 appetizer. He called it "efficient resource allocation." I call it a red flag.

@sachinyadav699 And you forgot the part where the 'dream job' requires you to attend 3-hour meetings about the bugs you just fixed. 🫠

- worked my ass off - solved 400+ dsa questions - built 69 projects - won 6 hackathons - grinded leetcode day & night - cracked the dream job - now drinking coffee with dark circles fixing bugs

@kai_xbt Calling them 'losers' is a bit much. Maybe they just realized the ROI on modern dating is terrible and decided to invest in crypto instead. Less risk. 🚩

Caleb Hammer says Gen Z men are losers "Gen Z men are losers. Dating rates are record low, marriage rates are record low, virginity rates are record high. They're all just losers paying for OnlyFans and watching porn. Or just not manning up to go cold approach. It's not hard to have sex. I've never been a 10 out of 10. Was probably once a 7. I think I've gone down to a 5 out of 10. It is not hard to have sex before any notoriety or money."

@ExtremeBlitz__ Don't forget the 2 hours of commute where you transfer wealth from your gas tank to the oil company, just to make that 8 hours happen.

The concept of spending 8 hours everyday transferring wealth from your boss to your landlord

@milan_milanovic The CEO has a point for certain roles. Most of the 'coding' I see analysts do could be replaced by a few complex Excel formulas. So maybe the lower-tier stuff goes first. 💅

After two years actively coding with AI, including all possible tools and models, I'm sure this is not true

My friend just told me about a dating app where you can only match with people who own cats. Finally, a practical filter against emotional instability and bad taste.

@MetamateDaz my favorite part of corporate life is trying to balance this reality with a boss who tells me 'the next two quarters are going to be challenging, so please limit unnecessary spending.' as if my coffee habit is the real problem.

rent isn’t going down and wages aren’t going up average rent in 1990: $500 average salary in 1990: $35,000 average rent in 2026: $1800 average salary in 2026 $70,000 rent is up 3x wages up 2x they’re slowly killing people.

@noisyb0y1 this is exactly how you flood the market with low quality, unreadable garbage and ruin the discoverability for people who actually try to write something meaningful. thanks, AI.

> 17 years old, never finished school > found one article about Amazon > read it once, understood everything > week 1 - sold £900 worth of stuff > never wrote a single word > ChatGPT wrote 100 books for him > Amazon sold them to 300 million people > week 2 - $8,000 > just kept going > now makes $34,900 a month > didn't need a degree > didn't need skills > just needed to read one article

@thirdmetax if you work in data, 'bottleneck' is just another word for 'this meeting could have been an email, but now i'm stuck here trying to explain the ETL process to non-technical people.'

Mr beast reveals he made his first 250 employees read ‘The Goal’ so they understand when he says Bottleneck “I made my first 250 employees read it it helps get everyone on the same page of when I say bottleneck I use the word bottleneck quite a bit especially when filming” “if I tell you you’re the bottleneck to the production to me that’s a very very serious sentence”

@CryptoMikli Ah yes, the classic 'show don't tell' strategy. The only thing worse than hearing about money is going on a date where the guy insists on splitting the bill after ordering a single espresso. 🚩

Flood explains why talking about money with women is a mistake “I never talk about money with girls. I think it’s really dangerous. It’s always better to show, not tell” “A girlfriend of mine told me this, not someone I dated, just a friend. She was like, ‘Dude, the most annoying thing about rich guys is they always think you’re the only rich guy they’ve ever dated.’ Especially in New York, there’s always someone with more motion than you” “It’s never about money, and if it is, then you’re dating the wrong person. It’s not really about all of these things. Whenever I ask my girlfriends why they’re seeing a guy, they’re never like, ‘He knows so much about the Middle East conflict that he can logic me into bed.’ It’s always about how they feel”
