@juliarturc Is the comparison deploying software with test suites, rollback strategies, and on-calls vs committing fraud? Failing to see the relevancy lol

When I was at Google, I wasn’t afraid to make mistakes in production. The general consensus was: if a well intentioned engineer manages to bring the system down, then we better fix the damn system. The Delve founders should definitely be held accountable if this is true. But this really is bigger than them. They didn’t even try too hard to be sleazy, they just followed the Silicon Valley playbook. 1. Drop out of school as a status symbol, completely missing that correlation is not causation. Dropping out does not make you a genius. 2. Start a business with 0 mission (no 21yo dreams of compliance) 3. Fake it till you make it (hide human labor behind the grandeur of AI features) 4. Raise an obscene amount of money because you can and because those losers who stayed to finish their degrees will be jelly. This is the playbook. The biggest culprits are the ones who made it and uphold it. If you’re not allowed to drink before 21 but are allowed to raise 30m on a compliance idea with no due diligence from investors, then maybe something is really really wrong with the system.

@HispanistaRD @omarcerquillo Tu forma de expresarte no determina tu rendimiento académico o profesional. Al contrario, pensar que una correlación implica causalidad si es ignorancia

@omarcerquillo @LiveAleRedacted La mala educación no es y nunca será parte de nuestra cultura. Por esa mentalidad RD tiene la peor educación de Latinoamérica y los peores resultados de PISA a nivel mundial.

En cuanto a eso no tenemos extractos sociales 🙌🫂🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴💯✍️🤗

@mcuban I think we overestimate the public's intellectual curiosity. Information has been widely accessible for decades. It's now 100x more digestible but only a small minority will take advantage of it.

I’m going to tell you how much worse it was at the start of the PC Revolution for white collar workers trying to adapt, vs today with AI Today, presumably every white collar worker has access to a smart phone and/or a PC/laptop. Back then, a PC cost $4,995 , an off brand was $3,995. 5k in 1984 is about $16k today. It was really expensive. The only reason I could learn how to code and support software is because my job let me take home a PC to learn. By reading the software manual. Literally. RTFM. Or pay to go to training. Classes that started at hundreds of dollars then. It was expensive. It absolutely limited who could get ahead. Today, ANYONE can go to their browser, to the AI LLM website of their choice, and type in the words “I’m a novice with zero computer background, teach me how to create an agent that reads my email and …” That concept applies to LEARNING ANYTHING Think about what this means. Any employee of any company can say “ I need to learn how to xyz for my job , which is to do the following: Tell me what more information do you need to help me be more efficient, productive and promotable”. Or “ what new skills can you teach me that will help me reduce my chances of getting laid off “. Or “what suggestions do you have for me to communicate to my boss, who I barely know, to help my chances of staying employed “ These aren’t great prompts. But they are a start that anyone can take. Think about how incredible that is. Back in the day was so much harder for white collar workers. It was harder for new grads because unless they took comp sci, they probably had never used a PC. Big Companies are going to cut jobs. No question about it. Small companies is are going to need more and more AI literate thinkers who can help them compete or get an edge What I tell every entrepreneur, and it’s more crucial today. “ when you run with the elephants there are the quick and the dead. Adopt tech quickly , you can out maneuver big companies. “

@HispanistaRD @omarcerquillo Mucho hablar de educación para no entender lo que vernaculo y coloquilismo

@omarcerquillo El español dominicano no existe. Usted habla bien o habla mal el español. Eso es el habla barrial de gente sin educación.

@omarcerquillo Lo gracioso es que en ambas se le nota lo Dominicana lol

@bygregorr @HelloVyom Seems to be a problem for ppl like you but good enough for tech companies for over 20 years.

@HelloVyom Hot take but the real problem isn't interview difficulty, it's that passing this has zero correlation with building things people actually use. Can you ship? That question never comes up.

Saw a breakdown of an OpenAI SWE interview and wow… They’re really out here asking candidates to design an in-memory database with SQL support, optimize JOINs, and then casually dive into transactions, WAL, MVCC like it’s nothing. This isn’t “leetcode grind” hard, this is actual systems research-level grilling. Honestly, the salaries these labs are paying? Completely justified. If anything, still underrated. If you can survive that level of deep, relentless questioning where every answer spawns two more… yeah, you’ve earned it.

@yavanikashah That Gen Z grew up to be Jeff Bezos

Just today morning on work’s official chat: Millennials: “Hi team, gentle reminder, just bumping this up :) ” Gen Z: “???”

@papervices @theCTO Recreating date functiosn is the opposite of focusing on real work. You might be projecting here

@LiveAleRedacted @theCTO or he's actually focused on real work instead of placebos that feel good but do nothing like: perfect code modularity. perfect code documentation. most up-to-date tech stack. retards split code into 1000 files to get optimal performance but forgot they have 0 users.

can someone tell this guy that nobody cares? dude's recreating date-fns in ai slop

@PhilMcGrawGamer @alleycabral Said the Dr. Phil fan account lmao

@LiveAleRedacted @alleycabral Except he changed it lol get his dick out ur mouth

and apparently a woman as well?

@GergelyOrosz @nofreewill42 Well they do have wikis lol

I hate this site The below blue checked account makes up completely fake stuff - that never happened - and it gets 2M+ views. No it didn't happen People treat as fact, thanks to having a $8/month blue check Fake news (often written by AI) spreads on this site like wildfire

@TechLayoffLover Fake news reported and blocked

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO BLOODBATH 2,847 employees got the email at 6:47 AM PST "Your role has been eliminated effective immediately" Badges dead by 7:15 AM. Slack access revoked mid-sentence Senior engineers who built the entire streaming infrastructure. Gone The team that shipped 40% faster last quarter using Claude for code generation. Eliminated 847 contractors in Bangalore just got handed their prompt libraries and deployment scripts Same streaming platform. Same feature velocity expected 14 remaining Seattle engineers to "manage AI-augmented offshore delivery" The kicker: those eliminated seniors spent 8 months documenting every architectural decision into internal wikis Every code pattern. Every debugging workflow. Every performance optimization trick That documentation just became training data for the AI systems replacing them VP of Engineering sent company-wide: "This transition represents our commitment to AI-first development" Severance packages include mandatory 90-day non-compete clauses Meanwhile the Bangalore team already pushed 12 commits using the extracted knowledge base One former L7 told me: "I literally trained the AI that made me redundant" If you're at FAANG and not seeing this coming you're already dead DMs open for anyone who needs to talk

@aarondfrancis @joelhooks I think it's mostly covered but you can also open multiple IDE instances and having no need to reindex or stash changes like you would with branches

@joelhooks Even more helpful, thank you. afaik git clone --local does copy on write, so disk space isn't an issue. but I'll have to look into the other stuff

Why do people like git worktrees over discrete checkouts? (This isn't bait, it's research)

@banteg @0xfoobar Let me introduce you to worktrees lol

@0xfoobar git literally hasn't auto solved a single merge conflict for me, it doesn't even work right for 2 agents touching the same code

We should make a database specialized for code, with staging and merging and syncing built for 1000s of parallel coders It's called git PR review is a bottleneck bc review is important, you can already insta-merge everything to main if you so desire, postgres doesn't solve this
