@FakePsyho It got popular because it's a standardized way of doing technical questions.
If you're competent enough to remember Leetcode hards or the knowledge than the work as a SWE will be easy peasy.
It's just a secret handshake

@knowclarified Chris it's 640k for a knock off model S with a Ferrari badge
The only people buying these are retards forced into them to get their allotments

@magdajtaylor Methinks that people are all desperately trying to feel high value whilst not realizing that to be high value is extremely difficult. Even if you're blessed with height you need an inordinate amount of looksmaxxing both as a man and woman to be treated like that
English
there's been plenty of talk over the last few years about how easy it is for young men to become redpilled and radicalized by the algorithm but much of the mainstream Internet is doing something similar to women, especially when it comes to dating expectations

They made a Ferrari so ugly mfs will start removing the Ferrari stickers from their Toyotas.

@usr_bin_roygbiv It's actually insane how many people don't even bother with basic branching. The neuroticism in me forces micro-commits though I'm guilty of not rebasing if it's a solo project
English
The people I see failing to use agents properly are largely due to not understanding version control or failing to be able to view themselves in the third person in the broader context of a org. Which are issues far deeper than they realize and not specific to programming.
English
@shkeen_ @catboosted Everyone and their mother is throwing the word Agentic out there to get funding.
He has no experience in fintech, no cofounders who could do technical work or manage compliance.
Even a complete moron would stay far the away
English
@catboosted this is one of those solutions chasing a problem
has he never heard of a cpa?
English
Of course he’s nontechnical
There’s grifting, and then there’s desperation. This clown would rather LARP as homeless than learn to code and build something real
This is just sad and embarrassing

Update: I’m camping outside YC with my laptop, Meta glasses, and Jarvis/OpenClaw helping me pull every lever. Not because I’m entitled to a reply. Because this is what I believe founders do: move until the last possible second. One final look... @ycombinator @garrytan
English
@homoky @olivercingl It could be both. Find founders making >1k mrr through public data, scrape build and repackage
English
@SableHummer @olivercingl No, they are looking for engagement so they get better impressions on X.

First horizontal video is live.
90 seconds long. 10 hours to make. For comparison: 150 vertical videos behind me — same length, 60 minutes each.
Here's why I'm switching things up:
I decided @heyedicek won't be a faceless brand. As the founder, I want to lend it my face. Show up, be the person behind it. People don't trust logos. They trust people they recognize.
Next step: put the whole build on YouTube. Behind the scenes, build in public. Decisions, mistakes, wins. Long form, slower, honest. Different from anything I've done on TikTok.
Not there yet. But that's where this is going.

Sensitive Cards just shipped. Blur any card's preview with one tap. Tap the eye to reveal. Leave the app — it blurs again on its own. Some saves are just for you.

@bailout00 @SIGKITTEN grok still kinda sucks ass without fine tuning

@usr_bin_roygbiv @mutedmettle that's insane. granted if you pass the technical interview I doubt they'd care
English
@SableHummer @mutedmettle like I said once. it was a 70 year old lawyer in massachusetts.
English
making me want to drop out of college
Roy@usr_bin_roygbiv
Really sick of this argument for college and in office stuff. It is 10000x easier to tell if someone is going to do a good job or not you have receipts for everything they've done or posted vs people who lie and present well but are completely useless IRL.
English
@usr_bin_roygbiv @mutedmettle have they ever run a background check on you before for it?
English
@mutedmettle boomers still exist unfortunately. That being said i've done give or take ~1000 interviews at this point and been asked for proof of a degree once.
English
@usr_bin_roygbiv No. You have no idea if I'm a larping retard who even knows how to center or div or what Tmux is.
Especially since I'm a lowbie.
Irl its extremely easy to tell
English
you have an omnipotent all knowing chatbot that can summon all information ever created by humans instantaneously in your pocket and you are worried about maintaining a 200 year old system hijacked by boomers to be a taxpayer funded adult daycare.
Franny Rocket@FrannyRocket
@usr_bin_roygbiv That's fascinating. Why is college a waste of time? Why do you think white men are discriminated from college admissions/financial assistance/grad positions, but not from jobs?
English
@47fucb4r8c69323 @Jack_Raines I remember going through /biz/ threads of a lot of guys like that. A lot of them kinda just fell into video game addiction etc.
Personally I like my work, I like working I don't care about the money but I deeply want to be validated that I'm not some loser dork
English
That last line matters the most.
So many people dream about money as a key to freedom, but it's better to say money solves some problems. And different amounts also bring with them new problems.
As a wise man once said, mo money mo problems.
So if you go into financial independence thinking "finally I'm free, I can do whatever you want!" you very likely are going to have a nervous breakdown when you suddenly realize the money you have doesn't actually solve the deepest constraints in your life.
I wasn't busting my ass to make a lot of money, I was busting my ass to prove to myself I'm not the white trash kid I grew up as. But being FIRE in your 30s doesn't fix that, it just shows you that you haven't proven that and getting money doesn't fix what is really wrong with you.
And there is NO WAY for me to communicate this to someone who isn't FIRE without sounding like an ungrateful patronizing asshole. That is the worst part.
English
@Anothasapiens @falkrak Tbf Tao is probably running a parallel thread in his head about something completely unrelated to the conversation.
English
@matthew28111015 @AdamRackis True, I guess time will tell what technical skills you need to be on top off and which are best relgated to proompts
English
@SableHummer @AdamRackis I hear you. I really do. But ask any manager that hasn’t been technical for a few years. It’s AMAZING how much you forget over a short period of time.
English
lol but seriously do this and make them build like a trivial app or something.
Maybe give them an LLM but severely limit their token spend 😬

MrBeast plans to trap 1000 vibe coders in a room without Claude first person to center a div manually wins $1 million
English
@KChaiWrites @chiefofautism There's like 3 different YC startups doing this atm
English
@chiefofautism I had a similar thought... pick a good LLM, train with corporate internal data, use it within the organization, just like an internal wiki or internal knowledgebase.
English
take chinese model and fine tune it on corporate dataset, then put on runpod serverless
spidey@lochan_twt
"api costs are too high, lets create our own LLM"
English
@matthew28111015 @AdamRackis It really doesn't matter, your skill set should be more sub agent architecture than remembering big O notation or centering divs.
It's a different world now
English
@AdamRackis I’m losing IQ points each week (didn’t have a ton to start) .. can’t be the only one wondering how much “manual?”work I should be doing to offset my mental decline of shiny AI button do thing for me syndrome.
