@antirez @0xSarthak13 That's exactly right in my experience. Management or your peers from other teams don't care how fast you write code. They want to come to you, ask for information or a change and have it done quickly.

That's more or less the contrary of what happens in the practice. One programmer is 10x or 100x because systematically avoids bad sub-optimal design decisions, so while coding at a similar speed accomplishes a lot more because optimizes for the right trajectory of minimal mess and higher result with less complexity. So they create a lot less tech debt.

emembered this classic 2021 article from @GergelyOrosz about engineering leadership skill set overlaps. Now in 2026 I think a lot of EMs are pulled into the Beware zone.

@dev_kunjadia The numbers are even funnier. Millions in revenue (how many millions?), 2M calls sounds cool at first, but it's per month

Got this email Why would saying a startup “just raised” a round be considered attractive, that means I “just missed” all the “wealth creation” (series a equity is paper) Recruiters should be more mindful about prepping their ai slop emails

@antirez Have you written somewhere about how you build ds4? I am curious how much of the code is generated and how you steer the model to produce it.

About the conversation around automatic programming, how useful or useless it is. Well, for me it is quite simple: you need to be very good to multiply your output. Retaining quality is harder now, but if you manage you are accelerated 100x. Instead of fighting I enjoy the race.

@devnullgor_ua 200sqm is a nice back garden for a hobby :) unless you are growing something rare and expensive, but that can be illegal in most countries haha

@Heliocene Oh actually I know what farming is, pretty good, with all manual labor. And this is my plan but just for myself not as a business and maybe not 5 hectares but 200 sq m. Backup plan - constant learning and moving

Inflation spike after covid ended ZIRP and money became expensive. Plus the war and to a point AI. It's fun to blame hiring practices or inflated salaries with low expectations, but the truth is it could have continued for decades if cheap investment money hadn't stopped

software engineering used to be so simple > be interested in video games > get a computer science degree > land a 6 figure job straight from school > work 20 hours a week > say "no updates" during standup > become a millionaire before 30 when did it all fall apart?

I'm watching C++ lectures, and I recall struggling a lot with this shit when I was a student. Everything is obvious now.
