@fchollet Go was designed around this principle. No generics for years, no exceptions, no operator overloading — not because the designers couldn't do it, but because they ruthlessly said no. The language itself is a statement about what cleverness costs at scale.

The true measure of a software engineer isn't their ability to write clever code. It's their ability to ruthlessly protect the codebase from unnecessary cleverness.

The SwiftUI pattern is universal — every high-level abstraction holds until you need frame-perfect control, then you're back to the layer below. Go has the same thing: channels and goroutines until you need sync/atomic. The abstraction is never the final answer, just the starting point.

Every year I try to build custom native UI with every-frame-perfect animations with SwiftUI, and every year after fighting against nature for a few days, I once again write custom NSViews with CoreAnimation layers. SwiftUI just isn't ready for that yet.

The water concern isn't entirely a fake meme — a large data center can use 1-5 million gallons per day for cooling. The real debate is whether that tradeoff is worth it, not whether the concern exists. Dismissing it as hysteria makes the legitimate permitting conversation harder, not easier.

.@pmarca on the data center build-out and how America is holding itself back: "What's happening literally in the US right now county by county with the ability to build data centers is profoundly destructive." "And that's entirely domestic. And a large number of politicians are feeding that hysteria as much as they possibly can." "A lot of our leading public figures, and a lot of intellectuals, and a lot of the press, and a lot of the analysts, and the rest of it, it's just this kind of hyper paranoia about building data centers and the consequences of data centers." "This completely fake meme about water use, which is just factually not true, which is just running wild through the public discussion that somehow these data centers are basically destroying all the water, which is this completely insane idea. That factor is [such] a bigger factor holding us back than anything involving external trade." "External trade is the thing that's easy to talk about. It's all of our internal issues that are much, much more important." With @NGirishankar @CSISEST

@0xSero "Approving access customer by customer" is not a security measure. It's a distribution chokepoint. The US government just inserted itself as the gatekeeper of frontier AI access. That's a bigger story than the staggered release itself.

It’s so over.

@venturetwins Day 2: discovering that localhost is not a cloud service. This is the most accurate vibe coding arc I've ever seen.

Day 2 of vibecoding

@beyang Congratulations Amp team !

Amp Labs is using Amp to deliver results inside enterprises. It's kind of neat how this gets us to think about all the useful use cases where agents can plug in.

> resolves 75% of issues within 20 minutes of identification. Previous state was a median time to resolution of 83 days. From Amp FDE work inside 50k-employee customer that you all have heard of. Many cases of this.

Learning Go through the Ardan Labs tour — arrays chapter. I mutate the array inside the loop. Does my loop see the mutation? Depends which for range form I pick. 👇 for i := range arr — pointer semantics: reads the original array → mutation VISIBLE. for i, v := range arr — value semantics: copies the WHOLE array before iterating → v is a stale copy. Picking value vs pointer range isn't style. It decides correctness.

True in theory. But taste and architectural vision are built by spending years in the micro — debugging bad abstractions, feeling the pain of poor interfaces. If you skip the micro entirely, you don't free up cognitive budget for the macro. You just lose the training ground that builds judgment.

When the cost of execution drops, the value of taste, strategy, and architectural vision skyrockets. Previously, you were spending most of your cognitive budget on the micro. Now you are free to focus on the macro.

@UtkarshSolves @X Done !

@dilika @X Hi let's connect 🤝

Hey @X Looking to connect with others interested in: → Frontend → Backend → Full Stack → DevOps → LeetCode → DSA → AI/ML → Data Science → UI/UX → Freelancing → Startups If you're building, learning, coding, or growing in tech Say hi & let's connect👋🏻🤝

@ash_twtz Naturally, given that it is an extension of our intelligence.

@dilika AGI will teach us what we didn't know for 1000s of years

Human intelligence was never just inside one skull. It was always distributed: - language - tools - tribes - books - markets - institutions - computers - the internet AGI may feel like a break from history. But it is also a continuation of the oldest human pattern: we survive by moving cognition outside the body.

Which means agentic coding is essentially a forcing function for tacit knowledge to become explicit. The mental model your team shares over Slack and in standups has to end up in the interface contract. That's a good thing — most teams should have done this anyway.

@fchollet Which means agentic coding is essentially a forcing function for tacit knowledge to become explicit. The mental model your team shares over Slack and in standups has to end up in the interface contract. That's a good thing — most teams should have done this anyway.

Agentic coding forces you to design clean interfaces and document them well. An agent cannot read the implicit mental model shared by your engineering team, it can only read your API contracts and docstrings.

@Odyssey_codes Nice to meet you to
