I think the role of the Software Engineer is evolving into a Product Engineer. LLM tools have made writing code easier than ever. The real bottleneck isn't implementation anymore - it's deciding what to build and how the UX should work. That's why I've been spending more of my time learning design and product skills. The most impactful engineers will be the ones who can shape products, not just ship features.

Shoutout to people on LinkedIn who announce their next opportunity in the SAME post as leaving their old company

@hosseeb SBF 🔥

If a founder was never good at video games, that's a red flag.

@DjSterlingC 😭

Brian Armstrong when he sees the volumes on Robinhood chain

@skeptrune Agreed - ship it

i personally think code review is dead. the team does not agree. directionally found this surprising.

@bmil__ @coinbase Congrats!!

Update: after 8 incredible years at @coinbase, I made the hard decision last month to step back and pursue a new opportunity. I'm beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work there for so long and with so many great colleagues. 🧵

@iampaulgrewal @coinbase @brian_armstrong @Emilemc 🫡

After 6 years I’m leaving @Coinbase. I’ll be transitioning to an advisory role at the end of the month and continue my service on the Board of Coinbase National Trust Company. I will be a Coinbase ally for life and am grateful to @brian_armstrong, @emilemc and the Coinbase board for the opportunity of a lifetime. ⬇️

By combining cutting edge distillation, quantization, kernel work and speculative decoding techniques into a single endpoint we can optimize models by an order of magnitude. Obviously built on top of the infra expertise we gained over the past 4 years running these models.

First part of our series on how we built one of the fastest image generation systems, and we're kicking off with running LLMs (for prompt expansion) at >1000 tok/s by leveraging a DSpark adapter we trained from scratch! blog.fal.ai/how-we-achieve…

@jesseproudman @AskVenice congrats!!

Today, @askvenice announced a $65M Series A at a $1B valuation. We started this company in 2024 with a simple conviction: people deserve an AI platform that doesn't spy on them or decide what they're allowed to think. Our job was to build a private, unrestricted AI platform that could find product-market fit without compromising on principles.

@travisk pulling up to the office

First day at our new Austin office. Video of my 5 minute jet ski commute to work.. 😏😅😂

Actor Jeff Bridges shows Theo Von how he uses @Suno to make music. "All the guys in Nashville are using it now. Instead of going into the studio and paying, you know, $10,000, they can do this for nothing, man."

We just open-sourced 3DREAL ! A new render-to-real IC-LoRA for LTX-2.3 from fal: turn any 3D / CG / game render into high 3d render, photorealistic, film-quality video, keeping your exact composition and camera move using the first frame.

ok the seed audio 1.0 demos are kind of insane. voice, music, and sound effects all generated in one shot the kind of release you remember

@GORMTHEOLD25 more please

@Keanaalabre Amazing - sending a dm

@Cramer___ I’m happy to help him! I partner with VC-Backed and YC - Backed companies in SF that are seeking engineers

How do junior software engineers get opportunities today? I know someone with about a year of experience who's looking for a junior role and can't get any traction. Self-taught, works nonstop, great attitude. He's the hardest worker I know, and the market's been rough on him. He's in the Bay Area and happy to be in-office every day or fully remote - open to full-time, contract, or internship. If you're hiring junior engineers or know someone who is, please send me a DM.

@0marmdv It actually seems impossible

@Cramer___ Yeah we are fucked
