@PatrickMoorhead Wow. That is quite the surprise. No explaining these rich people

@DJSnM I have Hertz number one club gold and I just walk to a car. Haven’t stood in line in years

@milan_milanovic "Just need to adjust a few things before we go live." sounds exactly like Elon Musk
English

Someone builds a project management tool with Claude Code over a weekend. Ships it. Tweets "just replaced Jira."
The app works. One user, happy path, localhost. Then two people edit the same record simultaneously, and the data is silently corrupted. They don't know what an optimistic lock is. They never needed to before.
The prototype is maybe 1% of what makes software actually work. The other 99% is what you find after real users show up: race conditions, failed transactions, sessions expiring at the wrong moment, a payment webhook that fires twice and charges someone double. AI didn't cover any of that. It built exactly what you asked for.
And the confidence is the worst part. "Just need to adjust a few things before we go live." The few things you need to adjust are the product. That's like laying a foundation and telling people you basically built the house.
Vibe coding works. For personal tools, throwaway scripts, and prototypes you'll never put in front of paying users, it's genuinely fast and good enough. I use it. But there's a hard ceiling, and it shows up the moment the stakes get real.
Agentic engineering is a different discipline. You're not prompting for code. You're decomposing problems, designing system boundaries, writing specs precise enough that the agent doesn't go sideways. You review everything it builds, because it will make mistakes that only look wrong if you know what correct looks like. You guide it. You catch what it misses.
If you don't know what a distributed transaction is, the agent won't save you. It'll generate something broken with complete confidence, and you won't know until production.
The hard part of software was never writing the first 200 lines.
It never was.

@DJSnM @WilliamLongstr7 As a native English speaker who grew up in Edinburgh and now lives in California, I’d say the intent of your post is a little tough to comprehend.

@WilliamLongstr7 Maybe you don't understand English if that's how you interpreted what I said?

Looks like @AmericanAir is trialing some fantastic new gate area signage in a few B gates at @DFWAirport Looking really bright and clear.

In five years, I've seen a grand total of one Mr Beast video on my feed. Ever.
I don't know what that says about the algorithm, the channel, or me, but it says something!

I want to take a moment to commend the social team at @AmericanAir Every time I’ve turned to them for help they’ve been super fast, helpful, and very efficient. Long time (since 1990) AA flyer.

Looks like @HomeDepot really should look more closely at the store map function in their app. It’s atrociously bad. Doesn’t zoom well and in my case indicates the wrong aisle and didn’t show that the aisle is outside in gardening. @Walmart does this wayyyy better.

@rjonesy Not sure where that is coming from as I would pick navigation on Apple Maps every time over Google. Far better driving directions.
English

The @UPS app was showing me a map with the delivery vehicle close in my neighborhood. It now the map is gone. What does this mean? 😱😱😱

@AWCook0558 in 2026, PHL to EDI will restart in March rather than May, but it's still for summer only

@tomroussey7news Even in the UK, not a country famed for the speed of its trains, you can do London to Edinburgh, a similar distance, in about 4:30. This is truly pathetic.
English

@remy_cz @tomroussey7news No, it doesn’t sound impressive on any level.
English

@tomroussey7news 7 hours Boston → DC sounds impressive until you realize trains in Europe and Asia cover the same distance in half the time. The US isn’t lacking tech — it’s lagging on infrastructure investment and political will. This is a step forward, but we’re decades behind.
English

People are brutal. This is GREAT folks! An actual accomplish with tax payer dollars, and they made it user-friendly, comfortable, and clean. Personally, I would much rather relax on a train and be able to get up and wander around than deal with driving or worse flying. Seems like a very pleasant experience at an affordable price to me.
