🤳🏻 let’s see what they’re (my agent) talking about (my project that I’ve been thinking deeply about for months) these days (I have 5 completely unrelated mega-threads I need to reply to each as we speak)

Hmm maybe it’s a good idea if I can’t code from my phone That looks more addictive than social media

@bscholl Radiologist was another career where AI actually increased demand rather than make obsolete bc it became easier to process testing so they do more of it I just found out this is called Jevons paradox and worth looking into as a way to solve AI fears

Unpopular opinion: AI will not reduce net employment, might actually increase it. To wit: AI-enabled coding increases Boom’s demand for software engineers. Because AI enables everyone to code, we now need more people to ensure architecture foundation is solid.

@justalexoki It's the best part of running without headphones

if you can't play real music in your head you're literally ngmi

The same type of person will say “boycott data centers”

A little short I made about Norm.

Ppl who are already into it don't need any convincing bc they already know

Hey pickleball is keeping me more active than I've ever been and helping me live longer, you should really try it This is probably what pushing AI for productivity and skill-building sounds like to a lot of ppl who don't care about that... and think it's just a plagiarism bot

@patneedham_ @tmorello Shotgun, these people ain’t seen a brown-skinned man since their grand-parents bought one

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the RATM album EVIL EMPIRE. Recorded in a tiny rehearsal room in Hollywood it was our first #1 album and went on to sell 3 million copies. The CD booklet featured a “Rage Reading List” to accompany the sonic assault. Fave songs/books?

@theo @chatgpt21 😧

“You have to remember Claude code was made 4 months ago by a singular individual.” Claude Code was made over a year ago by a $400b company. They paid the two devs on it so poorly that they quit and went to Cursor. Anthropic realized how bad the optics were, and convinced them to go back with way more money. Calling the culture at Anthropic “toxic” is generous. It’s a cesspit. Absolute disaster. I cannot fathom any good engineering coming out of that company until significant changes are made.

In defense of the Claude code team Yes it is vibe coded That doesn’t mean it will objectively stay bad - or that it is bad now. You have to remember Claude code was made 4 months ago by a singular individual. And for a product in which 100% of the updates are vibe coded it is phenomenal/ extremely useful in the terminal > millions of people use it daily I understand Theo is upset but all of these concerns are going to go away in a few months. It is only a matter of time before we look at human made code bases with the same distain as we currently do for vibe coded ones Any app at this scale is difficult to maintain and for the first vibe coded software to reach this many users this quickly. It does a good job.

@NYCMayor Taxing the rich, schmaxing the rich. I wanna see you get that construction that’s blocking the Empire State Building from Madison Square Park taken down.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

@unusual_whales I was just thinking how some of my friends have jobs where it makes no sense to use AI

27% of Americans have never used AI, per Quinnipiac.

I'm not used to liking Sixers, but Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe are hard to root against and they might even be kind of scary No easy path this year, but I believe in my ☘️

@ericzakariasson Excited to try this as a weekend project to make filing my taxes easier!

ive been using canvas extensively to generate just in time software for many different things. here's agent querying our data warehouse to get my usage and plotting it on an interactive canvas. so so many things that can be done with this, will share more soon!

@agenthoneybee @unusual_whales I kind of agree with you and that's why I asked this I'm not sure this policy needs to be just for multi-million dollar properties if you're a politician whose goal is to open up housing to more ppl I might still be dumb on this tho

@patneedham_ @unusual_whales This isn’t “housing inventory”. It’s multi-million dollar properties that normal people can’t afford.

NYC’s Zohran Mamdani has reached a deal with Governor Kathy Hochul to introduce the state’s first tax on second homes worth over $5 million owned by out-of-state residents.

@patrick_oshag I've been saying this!

@TrungTPhan I mean... just do it
