@sukh_saroy "prompt engineering is dead" goes on to post about a prompt engineering technique from 2023 😭

Prompt engineering is dead. Nobody is writing english to chatbots anymore. The best outputs are coming from people who write prompts like code. It's called json prompting. and once you see it, you can't go back:

@Muskanjain0401 ai twitter has reached crypto twitter levels of brainrot, just another trend of the month to farm engagement same as openclaw last month lmao

ai twitter: software engineers are COOKED openai: doubling headcount from 4,500 to 8,000 this year anthropic: 430+ open roles meta: offered 9-figure packages to poach openai's ai team y'all lying or 🤔

@CodeByNZ how we (yes WE, all of US) will be moving when claude finally replaces HR

✅ Claude Code ✅ Claude Cowork ✅ Claude Design 🔲 Claude Marketing 🔲 Claude Sales 🔲 Claude Finance 🔲 Claude HR 🔲 Claude Operations 🔲 Claude Customer …

@dabit3 ts has unironically become 2016 reselling market for challenger accounts on league lmao

Very interesting look into the fake GitHub economy. I never realized how widespread this all was. "For $85 to $285 in budget stars, a startup can manufacture the 2,850-star seed median. For $990 to $4,500, it can reach Series A territory. Against typical seed rounds of $1–10 million, the ROI ranges from 3,500x to 117,000x." "At least seven open-source tools on GitHub (fake-git-history, commit-bot, Commiter, and others) exist specifically to fabricate GitHub contribution graphs. Pre-built GitHub profiles with five-year commit histories and Arctic Code Vault Contributor badges sell for approximately $5,000 on Telegram." 🤯🤯🤯 awesomeagents.ai/news/github-fa…

@taste_of_tbone "style": "viral" is lowkenuinely just "make no mistakes" but slightly more pseudointellectual

it's so adorable when these guys pretend to code

Great first impressions of @interaction's Poke agent. Emailed bug report from my account and ran long running research on ElizaOS and Virtuals using github, Exa, and Deepwiki connectors. shoutout @chrstphrstr for recommending

@shub0414 damn X really is just copy paste simulator innit x.com/_devJNS/status…

Every idea feels taken. Every API already exists. Every SaaS has 12 competitors. So what do we even build now?

whenever I'm asked how to get started with agentic coding, what i do 10/10 times is send them a link to boot.dev if you don't know marketing fundamentals, you'll get shit marketing materials from agents. if you don't know sales fundamentals, you'll get shit sales handling from agents. coding is in a weird place where for some reason everyone wants to believe that it's the one thing where if you don't know the fundamentals, you'll somehow magically end up with good code. so glad to see this influencer-led "anyone can build anything" bubble finally pop

I gave Opus 4.7 access to Hyperliquid, Messari, Dexscreener, Meteora, and 3 years of historical data. It backtested 500 strategies in parallel. Racked up $10k paper trading PnL in 20 minutes. Then I gave it my wallet and lost everything in 5 minutes. But it was beautiful.

@sarkasticsharma @grok @grok keep the neanderthal look as is but turn him into a looksmaxxer with optimal bone structure and face shape

Hey @grok make him clean and modern

@Kelvingts_yt @iiTachiyomi @hex6u Zanpakuto filler arc was peak tho

@iiTachiyomi @hex6u aw hell nah

guy kidnapped a 5th-grade girl in Japan, locked her in a room, and made her read all of Bleach from start to finish. No violence, no SA just forced binge reading in silence. After days, he gave her a 10-question Bleach quiz: “Get at least 6 right… and you’re free.” Via @hex6u

@bradcarryvc @VCBrags

Just spoke to 50 prominent VCs We all agreed on one trend: Every single profession will be replaced by AI, except for VCs Glad that I’m safe

@YashHustle_22 its not vibe coders that are the issue, its smoothbrains that type "build productivity app, make no mistakes" and then make a 20min youtube video about how to make 10k/month with AI

Why do software engineers dislike vibe coders?

@burkeholland that's seems to be the directions things are headed with how anthropic changed the pricing on enterprise plans

It would be hilarious if we go through this whole AI thing just to find out that it’s ultimately cheaper to pay humans to do it

@KingBootoshi An original idea? For folks like us? Wrong city, wrong people.

don’t you get it choom? it doesn’t matter if someone else did it first no idea is original anyways just do it better

This ties back to the point I keep coming back to in these discussions of "what do we do if AI can do X?". And the point is that the means of output just doesn't matter anymore, and it doesn't need to matter. When you cook a meal, no one judges the meal based on if you know how to hunt and forage for ingredients, they judge it based on whether or not it tastes good. Building software, whether its closed or open source is the same thing. Is it secure, does it work, does it solve a problem. If your AI made a PR and the PR merges successfully and makes a meaningful improvement to the software, it doesn't matter if no one learned from it or stayed up till 2am doing it. I don't care to discuss feelings of purpose since if evolution was dictated by how we feel, then you might as well argue that we should have stayed in the stone age since learning how to make spears and hunt was more "fulfilling".

What happens to open source when AI is writing 100% of the code? I've been thinking about this a lot. Like… the whole system was built around humans valuing the act of contribution. You learned, you struggled, you submitted a PR, you got feedback, you got better. That loop created engineers. It created community. It created ownership. If AI writes the PR, who owns it? Who learned from it? Who's gonna stay up at 2am debugging the thing they shipped because they actually care? The cool part about OSS is that no one owns it. As a consumer, you could always look under the hood, fork it, take it somewhere else. I don't think open source dies. But I genuinely don't know what it becomes... Any ideas?

@Anaya_sharma876 YORU???

I've never used the Purple Visual Studio, what's it used for? 🤔🤔

@kylegawley because of skill issues in people using AI thinking that it replaces the need to do any actual thinking themselves

if ai is so great at building software why are we in peak enshitification?

@WOLF_Financial Berachain, Monad, and all the dead on arrival L1s could probably get a dead cat bounce if they slapped AI somewhere

What is one company you think should completely pivot from their core business and add AI to their name just because?

@craigzLiszt Too late, my 3rd grade teacher gave a weak pitch about why I should care about multiplication. No urgency, no call to action. I walked out and went back to cold emailing billionaires. (linkedin brainrot ball knowledge required)

please don't quit elementary school to start your startup
