@pashmerepat Mediocre vague post 5/10

My eyes are terrified but my hands keep working

@doodlestein If you lose money to this, you deserve it.

Was this all a ploy to get people to turn on extra usage in Claude Code so that once the $200 credit gets used up, people start racking up huge bills? It's very easy to miss that it's doing that. I kind of hate this, now I need to watch stuff like a hawk to know when to stop it.

@cryptaditya @shitpost9000 @WASWEJEFF @TechLayoffLover I hope that one day you realize how fucking stupid you are.

Stanford CS graduating class of 2026 just got their final placement statistics Out of 312 graduates: 18 have full-time offers That's a 5.8% placement rate from the most prestigious CS program in the fucking world 2019 placement rate was 94%. 2022 was 78%. 2024 was 31%. Now this. The other 294 are fighting over 47 internships that require "3+ years production experience" Career services is telling them to "consider adjacent fields" while the department just took a $50M donation from a company that replaced 2,400 engineers with Claude One kid showed me his rejection tracker: 1,247 applications since September. 12 phone screens. Zero offers. His parents refinanced their house for his tuition The career fair had 8 companies and 300 desperate students in $180k of debt Meanwhile the CS department just announced they're expanding their PhD program because "industry demand for AI research has never been higher" The same week they sent acceptance letters to 89 new undergrads These kids thought they were learning to be engineers. Turns out they were training to be obsolete.

@shitpost9000 @WASWEJEFF @TechLayoffLover They are there, just impossible to read due to compression.

@WASWEJEFF @TechLayoffLover How do you do the first one? The top‑left and bottom‑right curvatures have no dimension.

@robinebers @AnthropicAI I wish this didn’t require GitHub. I only use git.

Claude Ultraplan is here have you tried it yet? 👀

@PremChauraisya I hate to break it to you, but it is already 2026.

Which programming language to learn before 2026?

@samhogan Codex exists. No monopoly.

@KaiXCreator Nobody has ever said that you do.

Unpopular opinion: You don't need a MacBook Pro to become a great developer.

@Satten16 @Math_files What an insightful contribution. Have you considered publishing a paper on this finding?

@Math_files Well the student did the right thing, but they did it wrongly. For it to work, you need to write 1 over

@BallinFil @RobertFreundLaw That says $6 million, not $6k

@RobertFreundLaw They had an AI spin up 6k?? companies and it's at $6k ARR, with a 3k per day ad budget lol Interesting experiment

I truly have no idea what any sentence of this email means.

@sdeonline @adiix_official I’d work with you

@adiix_official I found a strategy that wins 90% of the time in backtesting 2 years back. Only a couple trades per month but high confidence. 130% yearly profit, but Binance futures are not available in Canada 😔 Anyone in a Binace-enabled country want to partner up? I’ve the bot code ready lol
